Patient - Ludus

In my gown too slow and white

In my gown too new to die

Take my mouth and take my eyes

Take my name untie my ties

Give me pills to make me sleep

Tell me what I cannot eat

Tell me how to do my hair

Dress me up or strip me bare

Anaesthetise anaesthetise

Anaesthetise anaesthetise

Make me laugh make me cry

Tell me to stop asking why

Make life precious make me old

Make me do what I am told

Take my words take my fears

Take my thoughts take my years

Tell me when to go to bed

Tell me what I should have said

Anaesthetise anaesthetise

Anaesthetise anaesthetise
