The Best Medicine

Have you ever been to the edge?
Felt so uncomfortably numb?
Contemplated all your reasons
Looking down at rock bottom?

I know this isn't normal
But I'm not quite sure what is
The doctor started him on Ritalin and Prozac
When he was just a fucking kid

Sometimes the best medicine
Is reaching out a helping hand to a friend
Someone in need
So many people take their lives
Before anyone ever sees them bleed

She'd like to give up drinking
But you know, she probably won't
She said it's not as bad as some things
Like heroin and coke

She's got a decent bank account
But it's obvious her heart is broke
So don't look to me for security
'Cause my stability's a joke

Sometimes the best medicine
Is reaching out a helping hand to a friend
Who's barely hanging on
They always look so strong
So you think nothing's wrong
Just a human
Someone in need
So many people take their lives
Before anyone ever sees them bleed

They told me I'd need medicine to feel normal
But I never have and I never will feel normal
They told me I'd need medicine to feel normal
But I never have and I never will feel normal
They told me I'd need medicine to feel normal
But I never have and I never will
I NEVER HAVE AND I NEVER WILL!

Sometimes the best medicine
Is reaching out your God damned hand to a friend
Who's barely hanging on
They always look so strong, so you think nothing's wrong
Just a human
Someone in need
So many people take their lives before anyone ever sees them bleed

Before anyone ever sees them bleed
