[Intro]
Box after box on the counter
Receipt long as my doubt, yeah
Pharmacist know me by face now
Still coughing up prayers in the rain
[Verse 1]
I been popping these apologies, chewable and cherry
Every sorry that I swallowed only made my baggage heavy
Got a bottle full of boundaries, label say "take two"
I been skipping all the doses, now my circle catching flu
Got a carton full of courage, but it's tasting like it's stale
Reading warnings on my worries, side effects: I might derail
Thermometer of trust, every lie another tick
All these capsules of commitment, but my heart still getting sick
Drinking daytime motivation, but it crash around four
Nighttime thoughts in the syrup, pour me right through the floor
Coughing up old habits, they keep sticking in my chest
Even bandages of blessings can't protect me from this stress (yeah)
[Chorus]
I took pills for the pain
Sprays for the throat
Chews for the mood and
Drops for the hope
I read every label
Did all the tricks
Cart full of cures but
I'm still sick (still sick)
I'm still sick (still sick)
Cart full of cures but I'm still sick
[Verse 2]
Got these gummy little promises, tasted sweet at the start
Now they stuck inside my molars, like they camping in my heart
Spoonful of distractions, cherry flavor on my tongue
But the fever of my fears still burning hotter than the sun
I got patches made of patience on the holes in my pride
Every strip of self-control keep peeling off from the side
Breathing in that vapor of "I'll change when I can"
But it's thinning out my vision, I can barely see a plan
I been crushing old regrets, mix 'em in with my tea
Sip it slow like it's a lesson, but it still ain't healing me
Got a cabinet of chances, all expiring fast
Guess the cure I really needed was to face my broken past (yeah)
[Chorus]
I took pills for the pain
Sprays for the throat
Chews for the mood and
Drops for the hope
I read every label
Did all the tricks
Cart full of cures but
I'm still sick (still sick)
I'm still sick (still sick)
Cart full of cures but I'm still sick
[Bridge]
I need more than a lozenge for the words I never said
More than extra-strength excuses for the thoughts inside my head (inside my head)
These prescriptions for my feelings only cover up the bruise
I'm allergic to the truth but that's the medicine I choose (hey)
[Chorus]
I took pills for the pain
Sprays for the throat
Chews for the mood and
Drops for the hope
I read every label
Did all the tricks
Cart full of cures but
I'm still sick (still sick)
I'm still sick (still sick)
Cart full of cures but I'm still sick
