Medicine

Doctor, can you help me get me back on my feet
I got demons in my dreams and I need them all to leave
I need medicine
I need medicine
Gimme medicine
Pull me back to life again
Doctor, can you help me get me back on my feet
I got demons in my dreams and I need them all to leave
I need medicine
I need medicine
Gimme medicine
Pull me back to life again

Can you even hear me with my face buried?
I'm a sherry in my system away from the cemetery
I need your help because the mess I'm in is getting scary
So gimme pills or whatever means are necessary
I bet this therapy chair has seen rock bottom and it's getting sick of hearing me complain about my problems
But you know that I ain't got a friend to turn to
Cos asses come and go, but I'll never desert you
I've always got a story to tell, sure as hell
When I'm talkin' 'bout the beer and weed I put in myself
Or how I had a nightmare for the ninth night running
Cos the grips of my demons can be tightening and frightening
Tell me what to do, I'm counting on the truth
So I can salvage what's left of my valuable youth
I can't be left on my own, so just sit and relax
And allow me to explain all the flaws of my past

Doctor, can you help me get me back on my feet
I got demons in my dreams and I need them all to leave
I need medicine
I need medicine
Gimme medicine
Pull me back to life again
Doctor, can you help me get me back on my feet
I got demons in my dreams and I need them all to leave
I need medicine
I need medicine
Gimme medicine
Pull me back to life again

I used to write about the good life in all of my songs
I used to have a fucking life 'til it went horribly wrong
You know, I used to play shows, never let the days go
Then the lane closed, I've never been further from the main road
I quit weed for the fifth time this week
Only get to sleep after a skinful of whiskey
I know that I'm an addict and I'm paddling up shit's creek
The only feat I seek for lack of sleep is six feet deep
Doctor, can you help me get me back on my feet? (Back on my feet)
There's a murmur in my heartbeat
And every single time I try my best to feel alive
I'll be risking all our lives every time I try to drink wine
Caught up on the jagged edges
Now you can get some sort of measure as to where my head is
I need your presence
I can't be left alone, so just sit and relax
And allow me to describe all my problems on a track

Doctor, can you help me get me back on my feet
I've got demons in my dreams and I need them all to leave
I need medicine
I need medicine
Gimme medicine
Pull me back to life again
Doctor, can you help me get me back on my feet
I've got demons in my dreams and I need them all to leave
I need medicine
I need medicine
Gimme medicine
Pull me back to life again

I'm sick of being treated like a spectre by society
I'm losing my momentum and I'm losing all the fight in me
I'm not the man I wanna be, I hate when people talk to me
It triggers my anxiety, I give up on sobriety

Doctor, can you help me get me back on my feet
I've got demons in my dreams and I need them all to leave
I need medicine
I need medicine
Gimme medicine
Pull me back to life again
Doctor, can you help me get me back on my feet
I've got demons in my dreams and I need them all to leave
I need medicine
I need medicine
Gimme medicine
Pull me back to life again
