  • Erupt again ignore the pill
    And I won't let it show
    Sacrifice the tortures
    Orchestral tear cash flow

    Increase delete escape defeat
    It's all that matters to you
    Cotton case for an iron pill
    Distorted eyes when everything is clearly dying

    Burn my knees and....
    Burn my knees and....
    Burn my knees and....

    Emotion sickness
    Addict with no heroine
    Emotion sickness
    Distorted eyes when everything is clearly dying

    Burn my knees and....
    Burn my knees and pray
    Burn my knees and....
    Burn my knees and pray

    Get up!
    Get up!
    Get up!
    Get up!
    Get up!
    Get up!
    Get up!

    Won't you stop my pain

    Emotion sickness
    Addict with no heroine
    Good things will pass (it helps with excess access)

  • John from DoeThe bands magnum opus, this 6 minute epic is easily one of my favorite songs of theirs and easily their most ambitious. It is like there bohemian rhapsody, or jesus of suburbia.
  • Whitnee from West Linn, OrThis song is about what it's like to have an eating disorder.
  • Cherie from Newcastle, Australiaone of my favorite songs too,emotion sickness is very much like a drug habit
  • T.j from Buford, GaOne of my favorite Silverchair songs, very powerful and E-motional.
