Medicate Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm unwell, thanks for asking
Don't mind me 'cause I'm just passing by
In this life, been a while
Thought that you forgot, but that's alright
How've you been? Glad to hear it
Just one question if you can bear it
Do you ever miss me, too?
'Cause I spend my days still thinking of you

[Pre-Chorus]
Should I take a pill to numb the pain?
Change the chemicals inside my brain
I worry I won't be the same
But I guess that that's the point

[Chorus]
Can you medicate a broken heart?
Make your tragedies a work of art
Medicate a broken heart
Build your walls up just to rip them apart
Is this the way to fix this or is this a quick fix?
I really couldn't say
Can you medicate, medicate, medicate it away?

[Verse 2]
Doctor Smile, kill me with kindness
And don't ask about the side effects
Swallow hard, kill sadness with science
But the aftermath might make you sick

[Pre-Chorus]
Should I take a pill to numb the pain?
Change the chemicals inside my brain
I worry I won't be the same
But I guess that that's the point

[Chorus]
Can you medicate a broken heart?
Make your tragedies a work of art
Medicate a broken heart
Build your walls up just to rip them apart
Is this the way to fix this or is this a quick fix?
I really couldn't say
Can you medicate, medicate, medicate it away?

[Post-Chorus]
Whoa, whoa
Oh, medicate it away
Whoa, whoa
Oh, medicate it away

[Bridge]
They say give yourself a break
They tell me to medicate
I don't wanna medicate

[Chorus]
Oh, can you medicate a broken heart?
Make your tragedies a work of art
Medicate a broken heart
Build your walls up just to rip them apart
Is this the way to fix this or is this a quick fix?
I really couldn't say
Can you medicate, medicate, medicate it away?

[Post-Chorus]
Whoa, whoa
Oh, medicate it away
Whoa, whoa (Whoa)
Oh, medicate it away

[Outro]
Oh, medicate it away
Oh, medicate it away

“Medicate” is tied with 2WAYMIRROR because “Medicate” happened within the timeline events of 2WAYMIRROR, Having “Medicate” to have the ability of the meaning “Should I take medication because I’m actually mentally ill or just because I’m just sad?” This ties in with the heartbreak

Well, the song came from a conversation with a friend, Liza [Koshy] actually, and we were talking about mental health and then we were talking about how prescriptions in America are kind of overused […]

Well if you’ve been in therapy, and like you’ve talked to therapists about and stuff, antidepres...
