Medicine

You can find another country if you want

Somewhere you can hide yourself away

Find yourself another set of holes to haunt

Get yourself another debt that you can't pay

Yeah, you can try to run for cover everywhere

Add another letter to your name

Burn everything you ever used to wear

Get yourself another lover that looks the same

But sometimes it's the medicine

Sometimes it's the medicine

Yeah, sometimes it's the medicine itself

That makes the pain

Well, you can always make another move again

Another set of keys, a different town

And you can try to lose yourself in them

Till the truth it catches up and cuts you down

'Cause sometimes it's the medicine

Sometimes it's the medicine

Yeah, sometimes it's the medicine itself

That makes the pain

And you can always hide the wreckage

That you come from

But every new disguise

Is just another lie to run from

Yeah, you can only try to fool yourself so long

With any kind of measure you can find

'Cause every phony pleasure you've been on

Has lifted off and left the pain behind

'Cause sometimes it's the medicine

Sometimes it's the medicine

Yeah, sometimes it's the medicine itself

That makes the pain
