Lyrics

Medication

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

This is the part of me that needs medication

This is the part of me that believes in heaven

This is the part of me that thinks outer space is all dead

This is the part of me that wishes it was with it

This is the part of me that's trying to be funny

This is the part of me that loves my parents

This is the part of me that thinks that ants are cavemen

This is the part of me that thinks all humans are ants

This is the part of me that learns from sitcoms

This is the part of me that means nothing

And I do-o-o-on't know where I could go away

And you could wish that I had stayed or just stayed gone

And I don't know

And I don't know at all

So, out of the context and into what you meant

And you know your reasons

You don't know who you are but you know who you wanna be

I don't know

So you go to the library to get yourself a book

And you look and you look

But you didn't find anything to read

And I don't know at all

Left all my kinder parts rusting and peeling

That guy was complaining as he looked at the ceiling

My nose isn't that big it looks nothing like me

We're all doctors trading sadness for numbness

Grass looks much greener but it's green-painted cement

The mayor's machines are there cleaning the pavement

You can't make dirt clean so we'll just lemon-scent it
