My hands are rough
From digging in the earth a bit too much
My ears always ring
Listening to the things that harm me
I cannot see
My way through the forest for all these trees
I'm never strong enough
I don't have the means to break myself free
Words you said ring true
Nothing left to prove
All I need is you
Know what I need to do
So I swallow my medicine
Got to watch my tongue
Landing me in trouble ever since I was young
Can't feel my feet
Hard to be sure of where they lead
I tend to walk on fire
Straight through the flames to my funeral pyre
But it's never hot enough
Won't find a flame that can purify me
Words you said ring true
Nothing left to prove
All I need is you
Know what I need to do
Words you said ring true
Nothing left to prove
All I need is you
Know what I need to do
So I swallow my medicine
Yeah I swallow my medicine
Swallow my medicine
