I'm pretty sure this song is about filling your body with any kind of substance (turning to drugs/alcohol) to help forget about a broken relationship you can't seem to get over on your own.
This medicine….will bury me in unpaved sheets
But I know a ghost and she knows that
I know a ghost and she knows how to protect me
The ghost, of course, referring to the girl he can't get over.
"She knows how to protect me" -- he has no use for the substances when she's in his life because she fills him with happiness. But without her he needs the substances (medicine) to fill the void in his life.
