"Medicine" lyrics
"Medicine"
Where've you gone?
It's been seven solid days withdrawn
And no, see, I don't care
I just want to know you're unimpaired
It's okay, take your time
Our restraints are still aligned
We're the product of a crowded youth
And though I'm vain, full of pride
Strictly cavalier inside
I'd scratch all that I amounted to
I don't ever wanna let you go
You're the only one who lets me in
But every time I try to hold my own
Yeah, I can never seem to get a grip
And I don't ever wanna give you up
I always say I'll get ahead of it
But every time they try to fix me up
I get addicted to the medicine
But now I'm shook
It's been seven solid weeks withstood
And babe, from what I've heard
I'll admit that I'm a bit concerned
Now it's grave, now it's plight
I regret all of the fight
I spent milking every ounce of truth
You are great, you are bright
Strictly radiant inside
I should've worshipped every ounce of you
I don't ever wanna let you go
You're the only one who lets me in
But every time I try to hold my own
Yeah, I can never seem to get a grip
And I don't ever wanna give you up
I always say I'll get ahead of it
But every time they try to fix me up
I get addicted to the medicine
I don't ever wanna let you go
You're the only one who lets me in
But every time I try to hold my own
Yeah, I can never seem to get a grip
And I don't ever wanna give you up
I always say I'll get ahead of it
But every time they try to fix me up
I get addicted to the medicine

"Medicine" is the third track revealed from Gus Dapperton's album "Orca". He told in a statement alongside the single's release, "This track defines the album most explicitly. I wrote it as a song that would narrate my life. 'Medicine' is about someone who is self-destructive so that they can get high off of the process of healing. The hurting phase is of no concern to them."
