Medication Lyrics
We'll keep calm and carry on
With good intentions
They'll prescribe the rights and wrongs
Until we're perfectSo maybe one day we'll be safe
In control and full of grace
Never making a mistake
So flawlessCut us deeper to the core
We won't feel a thing
Imperfections weighing more
Repressing differenceI wish this wasn't all so hard
To be yourself and not on guard
To stop the racing in your heart
We'll fight itPut me under
Now I'm powerless
I'll take it all
I'll take it all, I'll take it
I can't breathe without youYou won't trust me
I won't trust you too
Bring me back and
Bring me back and
Bring it, medicate meHide me deeper in my shed
Until I'm all alone
I'm hearing voices in this sound
HallucinatingI could have sworn I heard it too
A sudden, beautiful adieu
It's telling me what I should do
I followPut me under
Now I'm powerless
I'll take it all
I'll take it all, I'll take it
I can't breathe without youYou won't trust me
I won't trust you too
Bring me back and
Bring me back and
Bring it, medicate me nowAs I'm turning into dis-reflection
You can't slow me
My body and my mind
My emotions and my prideThe simplest things
Became the hardest part now
The easiest parts
Have taken all my dreamsI'm afraid I'll never be okay
I'm afraid
I'm scared I can't be happy
I'm afraidThis silence you feel is not a way to be sincere
(I'm afraid)
And it's a way to cope, a way to heal
(I'm scared I can't be happy)But not for me when I can't feel
(I'm afraid)
The subtleties that make me want to
(I'll never be okay)Be alive and not a statue
(I'm afraid)
Breathe the air, be me to talk to
(I'm scared I can't be happy)
I'm afraid I'll never be the same
