Self-medicating

+ Show full styles

[Intro] Yeah... Everybody's got something. [Verse 1] Some pour bourbon in a coffee mug Some bury everything under work Some keep smiling for the family photos While their whole damn world still hurts Some buy shit they don't need Some keep chasing one more raise Some disappear behind a screen Till they can't remember yesterday [Pre-Chorus] Call it coping... Call it survival... Call it whatever helps you sleep. [Chorus] We're all self-medicating Just picking different pills Some come bottled up in amber... Some come wrapped in dollar bills We're all self-medicating Trying to quiet what we hide Everybody's got a prescription... They wrote themselves inside. [Verse 2] Some chase followers Some chase God Some chase anybody saying "You've come this far" Some get high on being angry Some stay drunk on being right Some keep filling every silence So they never hear the night [Bridge] Different poison... Same reason. [Final Chorus] We're all self-medicating Trying to numb another scar The bottle ain't the only thing... That keeps people where they are. We're all self-medicating... Some just hide it... Better.
