Derek Webb - Medication lyrics

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

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

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

‘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

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
