Did You Take Your Medicine?

Weakness of the past begone, I'm taking back my life
It's happening, you can't stop me
I'm well rested and I'm ready

Moving on doesn't change the past but it can move mountains in your mind
Thinking that I have nothing, no self worth, it's an empty fucking lie
All the time I spent thinking that I deserved that shit
I reject your abuse and I look down on it

And all the lies I fed myself
Living in mental poverty
I left my body behind, my consciousness changing settings
My reaction to your abuse
Wasn't performative, it was sedative
It's taken its toll, yeah it's worn down on me
But I'm still standing
Never had to be this way

Subjugate me no longer, I will never be swayed
A quarter through my life, I'm resurrected from the grave
(I'm alive, I'm alive)
Really rather simple, weigh the options, you're the worst one

(Did you take your medicine) And all the lies I fed myself
(Have you seen your therapist) Living in mental poverty
(It's important, our existences) I left my body behind
(Hinge on proper mental assistance) My consciousness changing settings
(And when I'm given a choice, I flee) My reaction to your abuse
(But often I only have time to freeze) Wasn't performative, it was sedative
It's taken its toll, yeah it's worn down on me
But I'm still standing
Did you take your medicine?
Sky is turning black, ain't it?
Measure twice before cutting shit
Gotten into more than you bit off
Never had to be this way

For what it's worth, I loved you
That much I know
That much is true
I didn't care about how hard it was
I tried to see the positives in the back of my mind
They grew ever smaller in size
This is the last time I'll ever ask myself why I'm still holding onto you

And all the lies I fed myself
Living in mental poverty
I left my body behind, my consciousness changing settings
My reaction to your abuse
Wasn't performative, it was sedative
It's taken its toll, yeah it's worn down on me
But I'm still standing
