Lyrics

Tranquilizer

The pain, the pain

Arrives again

Wait for relief

Under the tongue

One sixty seconds

Wait for the dissolve

The pain from side to side

Of right up from the gall

Black bile inside the mind

Fight off the pain

The pain into the sun

Unlocked, dissolve

Dissolve the pain

The pain, the pain

The pain, the pain

Relief, again, the pain

The pain, the pain

The pain, the pain

The pain, the pain

Tranquilizer

Get out, sit down

Tranquilizer

Get out, sit down

Tranquilizer

Get out, get out

In a golden light

Bent, curved, shut out

In a golden light

Hamadryads

Grow through me

In a cooling tower

Absence of being

The pain, the pain

It comes back again

The pain, the pain

The pain, the pain

From side to side

To side to side

To side to side

To side

Tranquilizer

Get out, sit down

Tranquilizer

Get out, sit down

30 seconds left

In a golden light

In a golden light
