Take Your Medicine

[Synth and kick Intro] [Verse 1] Pills and potions, doses planned. Swallowed down with a trembling hand. Cover the cracks, but they still glean, In the shattered mirror no reflection seen. (no reflection seen) [breakdown] [Verse 2] Chase the quick fix, a fleeting release, In bottles and jars, a desperate tease. Veils over truth, shadows over sun, Lost in the fight, what have we begun? (what have we begun) [crescendo swell] [Chorus] Take your medicine, dull the pain, Hide behind the chemical rain. But when it clears, what's left to see? The ghost of you, empty shell of me. [breakdown] [echoy spoken voice] [Verse 3] Looking deeper, looking long, Eyes are empty, my spirit's gone. Paths we shun, the harder the grade, In the dance of the quick-profit, masquerade. (masquerade) [Bridge] [Bridge] Can we wake from this dream, find what’s real, Heal the wounds, not just conceal? A turn from the tide, a break from the spin, It’s time to opt-out, not opt-in. [Chorus] Take your medicine, dull the pain, Hide behind the chemical rain. But when it clears, what's left to see? The ghost of you, empty shell of me. [Chorus] Take your medicine, dull the pain, Hide behind the chemical rain. But when it clears, what's left to see? The ghost of you, empty shell of me. [guitar solo] [Chorus] Take your medicine, dull the pain, Hide behind the chemical rain. But when it clears, what's left to see? The ghost of you, empty shell of me. [breakdown] [End] [outro breakdown] [End]
