"Dr. Meyers" lyrics
Inpatient (Ren & Chris Webby) Lyrics
All my thoughts are turning blue
Tell me what's a boy to do?
All my yesterdays are fading from the view
And every night I lay awake
Waiting for the day to break
Just to share another memory with you
Dear diary, it's Jeremiah
I've been trying more to write
Because these nights get mighty long up on this ward right after light
The bedside lamp illuminates the trail and path of my pen
That's how I feel about the good Dr. Meyers, my friend
You see, so, Dr. Meyers said that I'm responding so exquisitely
And physically responsive to prescriptions on delivery
I'm fit to be walking out here in three weeks tops
I wanna be just like the doctor when I grow up
Mummy said that we got lucky 'cause we can't afford none
And getting let into this trial was a gift from the sun
And we got shined on from the heavens, man, this doctor's my hero
He sometimes jokes around and calls me patient zero
'Cause my patience's zero, I mean I'm kind of hyper
I'm prone to be staying up and pulling all-nighters
And these side effects kind of make my sleeping a nightmare
My mouth gets dry sometimes, no saliva
The pain ain't stopping but the doctor said patience
My patience is zero, I told you I hate it
The doctor said that it gets dark before dawn
Every rose has it thorns, best to weather to storm
So, four in the morning, I'll say goodnight
And if I sleep then it's a blessing from the holy skies
Every night is a drag but the daytime's nice
'Cause Dr. Meyers will be there, so I know I'll be fine
All my thoughts are turning blue
Tell me what's a boy to do?
All my yesterdays are fading from the view
And every night I lay awake
Waiting for the day to break
Just to share another memory with you
Dr. Rick Meyers, September 21st
Patient thirteen appears to be gettin' worse
It's seeming like these treatments not only failed to work
But have made his condition critical, crippling adverse
Symptoms and side effects like the last twelve kids
Pardon me, I mean test subjects
I gotta give myself distance from my feelings
This is science, nothing more
And so I hide behind that mindset anytime that I'm unsure
I was hired to find a cure and so at times I come off heartless
But my job's to stay on target and bring this product to market
Gotta keep the funding coming, gotta finish what we started
Gotta crack some eggs to make this multi-million dollar omelet
With these corporate pharma reps and they've been breathin' down my neck
And they're the ones who write the checks
Really, what the fuck you expect?
I got a wife and two boys of my own I got to protect
So, these kids at the clinic are just numbers I've written next
To the date and time of the test
Nothin' more, nothin' less
Blame the parents if you wanna, they signed a form of consent
But this Jeremiah kid? Shit, there I go again
Patient thirteen, I mean
Something 'bout him's different
Says he wants to be like me
And so I'll say that he'll become
An even better doctor, knowin' that that day'll never come
His pulse has been gettin' weaker, now there's fluid in his lungs
Dr. Meyers?
Get some rest patient zero, we're almost done
All my thoughts are turning blue
Tell me what's a boy to do?
All my yesterdays are fading from the view
And every night I lay awake
Waiting for the day to break
Just to share another memory with you
Dr. Rick Meyers, September 29th
Patient thirteen didn't make it through the night
His name was Jeremiah and he loved to read and write
And I can't help but feel responsible, I gotta make this right
Gotta find that breakthrough, gotta give the company somethin'
Or else I'm afraid they'll start to lose interest and pull their fundin'
So, I studied every study and double checked every entry
In the journal I've been writin' just hopin' somethin' will catch me
Didn't sleep for three days 'til I figured it out
And once I did I knew that I could realistically vouch
To have it finished up by Christmas, so I called and set a meet
So I could tell my bosses I was just weeks away from complete
Little patient thirteen and the twelve who came before him
And the sacrifice they gave us would be for somethin' important
For the science to prevail, gotta learn to live with the losses
I repeated in my thoughts as I went to step in the office
Hey, I'm here for the meeting
Oh yes, Dr. Michaels, have a seat
It's Meyers, uh, just you here today?
Well, you know how busy things get
Right, okay, well anyways
I finally had a breakthrough on the research with the formula and it's actually
Okay, let me just stop you right there
But
Mm, we've decided to go in a different direction with the funding
What?
Well, there's this new weight loss product in trials right now, Gila Monster venom, actually
Gila Monster?
Yeah, everyone's really excited about it over here
What?
But kids died on my watch
Listen, we are so sorry to hear that
You're sorry?
We want to thank you so much for your hard work Dr. Michaels
Ugh, Meyers
Sure, and you really are one of our best and brightest
But-but
Listen, I'm sure we'll have another project with your name on it very soon
No, no, no, listen I
Great, I'll have my assistant reach out
Assistant?
Have yourself a nice day
All my thoughts are turning blue
Tell me what's a boy to do?
All my yesterdays are fading from the view
And every night I lay awake
Waiting for the day to break
Just to share another memory with you
Tell me what's a boy to do?
All my yesterdays are fading from the view
And every night I lay awake
Waiting for the day to break
Just to share another memory with you
