• Medication
  Words and music by derek webb

  
  

  
  

  
  

  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

  
  

  CHORUS
  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

  
  

  CHORUS

  
  

  BRIDGE
  ‘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

  
  

  CHORUS

  I often feel like people wish everyone was medicated, living happy care free lives. But I believe this is far from what we were meant for. I believe there is a liberation that can happen in our lives that doesn’t necessarily makes us happy, but makes us complete. Sometimes we must embrace the suffering to really experience love. To be set free from things that hinder us from a whole life. I pray that you (and I) find the tracks for your (our) life and may you embrace every breathe. I’ve known people who live this life and it “look so good it hurts. Love, I come undone”.
  

  
  

  Keep inspiring, keep loving, keep hoping, keep living….
