Lb. Of Cure Lyrics
I'm just another face
And all your textbooks
All you know
Will soon construct the case
Warped emotions like a river
Everywhere a bend
And what we cannot hold together
We try to keep within
The cure that's in a jar
All the needless all the pills
I think its gone too far
Now the pain is really blinding
I'm crawling up the wall
Try to hold on
Try to stop it
I think I've lost it all
All are in my head
Iron bars that keep me safe
While strapped here on this bed
You've poked and probed and podded me
So often times I've cried
Now I pray on bended knee
God just let me die
As you wheel me down the hall
Another treatment once a week
I'm losing all recall
This track details the struggles and frustrations of someone dealing with troubles regarding their mental and emotional health. The protagonist feels trapped and misunderstood by the world around him, conveying to us his sense of desperation and feelings of hopelessness. He's just an ordinary man who feels troubled but no one thinks to take him seriously, criticizing the modern world for neglecting the heartfelt pleas one proclaims as nothing. The person can no longer help himself and wants others to step in and help; He's sick of conventional treatment methods and the over-reliance on pills and medication to alleviate the pain given by his doctor. Believing his situation has gone too far, and the pain now overwhelming them, they're at the point of losing control. It is a cautionary tale to help others when they're feeling distraught and at wit's end, overloaded with troubles they can't get themselves out of and are on the brink of going insane.
