I wash it down, just to block out all the sound.
I never thought I'd be alone. Well look at me now.

Sleepless nights, painful goodbyes.
Who the hell was I kidding?
The room starts to spin,
All alone and bleeding once again.
Can you help me make this.. make this fucking end?

[Chorus]
Oh my god there must be something,
Something to take the pain away.
And so there's nothing you can give me.
It's probably better off that way.

Just forget, all I ever wanted was to forget.
Bloodshot eyes and a starless sky.
Who the hell are we kidding?

You look so content, I guess the bright side hasn't found me yet.
Pull me out so I can catch my breath.

[Chorus]

I live my life in the shadows of the things I try to hide.

[Chorus]

    General Comment:SylvanFrets, you could be right. when he says (i wash it down just to block out all the sound) it could be getting drunk OR swallowing down pills. kinda the same thing though.

    General Comment:its clearly obviously unmistakenly about drugs look at the name The Only Medicine. The only medicine drugs users care about is whatever they're addicted to and if they dont get they relapse anf it hurts them hence the chorus itd drugs not a relationship

    General Comment:He broke up with his girlfriend and he really misses her, and he wishes there was some kind of drug or medicine that fixed the pain of a broken heart.

    great song!


    O and kurt drained u, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO ABOUT DRUGS EXCEPT THE FACT THAT HE WISHES THERE WAS A DRUG TO MEND HIS BROKEN HEART!! how is this not about a relationship? "I never thought I'd be alone
    Well look at me now"

    General Comment:oh my fucking god, NOT EVERY SONG WRITTEN IS ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS.

    General Comment:awesome song, I relate it to the end of a relationship where nothing the other person can do will help you... I just had one of those, because the girl cheated on me, so nothing she can do will rid the pain I felt from it

    General Comment:This song is awsesome, especially how the guitar solo comes in so perfectly. but yeah im pretty sure he says "i live my life in the shadows of the things i try to hide" rather than things ive thrown away.

    though it sounds like either so its whatever I guess.
    I love this band haha

    General Comment:I Love this song The Guitars sound like guitars out of a Drangon Force or As I lay Dying. I think this band is like Metal and Indie Rock. cause alot of indie rock bands talk about finding more to life and crap like that. But Their not a christian band . they are like The Classic Crime. TCC is Hardcore/Indie/emo. But they aren't a christian band but some of their lycis make it sound like christian stuff. also SKSK has toured with TCC. I wish the band had some double bass though now that would make it crazyer.
