Discharge Blues from IV & Whiskey by PRC Creative
Discharge Blues is the quiet comedown after survival—the strange sadness that hits when the bracelet comes off and no one’s watching anymore. It’s about being told you’re “good to go” while still feeling wrecked, disoriented, and unsure how to exist outside the room that almost became permanent. Wry, worn, and reflective, the track captures the emotional whiplash of freedom that doesn’t feel like relief yet.

Lyrics
[Verse]
Trapped in a white-walled prison
I call it 'Hell in Disguise'
Gettin' high on Dilaudid
Under fluorescent lights
While that hospital-pudding-cup
Commissary
And a C.N.A. named Sue
Makes the food taste scary
[Chorus]
And I hear that I.V. pump screamin'
All day long
[Bridge]
Oh, but one day, soon
I'll be in my own bed
And in my own damn room
And my family won't call me "mean"
They'll just call me "Mama"
Yeah, I'm ready to get back
To the real drama
With my hospital survival kit:
Drugs and my sense of humor
[Chorus]
And I hear that I.V. pump screamin'
All day long
And I hear that I.V. pump screamin'
All day long
All day long
All day long
[Verse 2]
Well, you can say what you want about nurses
But I'm gonna keep it to myself
'Cause I'm tryin' to get discharged
With my original health
I've got nothin' but love for my hospital staff
But these pudding cups, they can go to hell
And they can kiss my ass
[Chorus]
And I hear that I.V. pump screamin'
All day long
And I hear that I.V. pump screamin'
All day long
All day long
All day long
All day long
All day long
