The Best Medicine

Have you ever been to the edge? Felt so uncomfortably numb? Contemplated all your reasons Looking down at rock bottom? I know this isn't normal But I'm not quite sure what is The doctor started him on Ritalin and Prozac When he was just a fucking kid Sometimes the best medicine Is reaching out a helping hand to a friend Someone in need So many people take their lives Before anyone ever sees them bleed She'd like to give up drinking But you know, she probably won't She said it's not as bad as some things Like heroin and coke She's got a decent bank account But it's obvious her heart is broke So don't look to me for security 'Cause my stability's a joke Sometimes the best medicine Is reaching out a helping hand to a friend Who's barely hanging on They always look so strong So you think nothing's wrong Just a human Someone in need So many people take their lives Before anyone ever sees them bleed They told me I'd need medicine to feel normal But I never have and I never will feel normal They told me I'd need medicine to feel normal But I never have and I never will feel normal They told me I'd need medicine to feel normal But I never have and I never will I NEVER HAVE AND I NEVER WILL! Sometimes the best medicine Is reaching out your God damned hand to a friend Who's barely hanging on They always look so strong, so you think nothing's wrong Just a human Someone in need So many people take their lives before anyone ever sees them bleed Before anyone ever sees them bleed
