Lyrics
Medicine For The Dead
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.
Yeah
What happens in the dark feels the way, the blackout never does
Turning the gears, sharpen the blades of sheer terror, these fevered ones
But tell me the secret things, show me the bloody kings
Let's play a game where the winners always lose
Their heads, time
Screams by life, is mine
Your condition is a symptom
We’ll have to give you medicine for the dead
Drink me
Your condition is a symptom
We’ll have to give you medicine for the dead
Drink me
Before it could begin, the shooting stopped, the silence always comes
Now where do we go? Because you’re walking the streets, it's no better
Pull at your privacy, a product of lunacy
Don't be surprised when the losers want to win
But then again, time screams by
Life is mine
Your condition is a symptom
We’ll have to give you medicine for the dead
Drink me
Your condition is a symptom
We’ll have to give you medicine for the dead
Yeah
Where does it end? And tell me, where does it go?
If evil exists, then only evil can know
When do we run? And are they letting us in?
Where does it end? And tell me, where to begin
Your condition is a symptom
We’ll have to give you medicine for the dead
Drink me
Your condition is a symptom
We’ll have to give you medicine for the dead
Your condition is a symptom
We’ll have to give you medicine for the dead
Drink me
Your condition is a symptom
We’ll have to give you medicine for the dead
You have to drink me
You know you're
Dying slowly, dying slowly
Dying, dying, right?
Know that you're dying slowly
Dying slowly
Dying, dying right now
