Lyrics

They're saying "Get better Get better" But I don't wanna get better And even if I did I can't I don't understand They're sayin' "Hang in there Hang in there" But I don't wanna hang in there It's easy to be brave when you're not afraid It's easy to have faith when you're not ashamed And I'm ashamed I can't hear what you say to me I can't see what you see in me The interference is deafening I'm terrified that it's repeating They're sayin' "Take medicine Take medicine" But I don't wanna take medicine It's hard enough to fight it when I have my wits I don't wanna lose 'em And I don't wanna fight it I wanna love it And I'm not above it I'm below it It's easy to be brave when you're not afraid It's easy to have faith when you're not ashamed I can't hear what you say to me I can't see what you see in me The interference is deafening I'm terrified that it's repeating In the middle of the night I find it hard to breathe It follows me A shadow only I can see It takes me out to dinner and it watches me eat Then it takes me home Home In the middle of the night I find it hard to breathe It follows me A shadow only I can see It takes me out to dinner and it watches me eat Then it takes me home
