The Price of Medication by The Effort Lyrics
I've been medicated my whole life
Clouding my mind until it's dark at night
And even on the blackest of days
I muster strength to see through the haze
I've loathed those who don't know what its like
To be the loser in a constant fight
Because we're stuck in a backwards game
Where no one gives a fuck if you don't want to play
Well I've lost so I don't care if anyone sees
Everything that's been taken from me
I'm twenty-two with nothing to loose
And I'd give it all away if I had to choose
Because I've been pegged since day one
Growing up as a two faced addicts son
Where everyone loves to preach to me
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree
Now the odds are stacked so high
On the noose my parents have tied
I hope its use becomes obsolete
And my bloodline won't be my defeat
So it's the price of our medication
It was your first-born child's defamation
It's the price of our anesthetic lives
It's easy not to notice if you don't even try...
Clouding my mind until it's dark at night
And even on the blackest of days
I muster strength to see through the haze
I've loathed those who don't know what its like
To be the loser in a constant fight
Because we're stuck in a backwards game
Where no one gives a fuck if you don't want to play
Well I've lost so I don't care if anyone sees
Everything that's been taken from me
I'm twenty-two with nothing to loose
And I'd give it all away if I had to choose
Because I've been pegged since day one
Growing up as a two faced addicts son
Where everyone loves to preach to me
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree
Now the odds are stacked so high
On the noose my parents have tied
I hope its use becomes obsolete
And my bloodline won't be my defeat
So it's the price of our medication
It was your first-born child's defamation
It's the price of our anesthetic lives
It's easy not to notice if you don't even try...
