"Medicine" lyrics

You came close to the edge as you searched for the door
The medicine was bitter like nothing you'd tasted before
And you knew right then
You said, "I don't want something already made
I want the image not on display
I want to be set free"

You felt for the words like the wings of a bird
Riding the winds of a dark form you heard
A voice, speaking low
It said, "I swim the deep waters
Dreams are my eyes
Deeper than blue"
And drifted from view

Your eyes opened up like the sky on a plane
You laughed like a driver disregarding the lanes
Looking for something, a balancing drug
You said, "Was it the answer I made out of love?"
Pin down the moment in a child's game

They sang you the song that longed to be heard
Caught in your chest like a fire unburned
They sang without words
