The Medicine

Driving by those trucker stops
The cheap motels made of concrete rocks
With a hole inside your chest
The size of a city block
And I remember the day
When you said you weren't afraid to die
I don't think your brave for it
I just think your more afraid of being alive
[01:47.09][00:39.23]If I had the medicine
[01:49.94][00:42.50]I'd give you the medicine
[01:53.25][00:45.77]Cause I miss you son
[01:56.17][00:48.73]I'd bring you back home if I was the one
[01:59.42][00:51.53]But it's four and ten
[02:01.94][00:54.60]In the belly of the four AM
[02:05.10][00:57.48]And your staring down the weekend
[02:08.20][01:00.77]To silence the pain
[02:10.97][01:03.61]And I'm wide awake
[02:13.05][01:05.60]And there's blood on the promenade
Here's to waking up with that stone between your ribs
And you're lying down again
You just pretend you don't know what it is
When everyone around you says that you're not the one to blame for it
But you're the only one feeling the pain for it
So you're gonna take matters into your own hands
