Medication

Derek Webb


don't lie to me 
tell me something true 
'cause i'm only free 
when i look at you 

and you look so good it hurts 
and love, i come undone 

chorus 
but i don't want medication 
just give me liberation 
even if it cuts my legs right out from underneath 
don't give me medication 
i want the real sensation 
even when living feels just like death to me 

don't paint my face 
i need to see the scars 
so i don't forget 
the back of my tutor's arm 

'cause i just can't keep it straight 
which kills and which one saves 

chorus 

BRIDGE 
'cause the truth is i need you just like the air i breathe 
just like a freight train needs the tracks beneath 
so i'd rather suffer my whole life and be this rich man's wife 
if loving you means suffering 

chorus
