Derek Webb Medication Lyrics

Medication Lyrics

don't lie to me

tell me something true

'cause i'm only free

when i look at you



and you look so good it hurts

and love, i come undone



chorus

but i don’t want medication

just give me liberation

even if it cuts my legs right out from underneath

don’t give me medication

i want the real sensation

even when living feels just like death to me



don't paint my face

i need to see the scars

so i don't forget

the back of my tutor's arm



'cause i just can't keep it straight

which kills and which one saves



chorus



bridge

‘cause the truth is i need you just like the air i breathe

just like a freight train needs the tracks beneath

so i’d rather suffer my whole life and be this rich man’s wife

if loving you means suffering



chorus
