The "drug".
It takes me away, to a much higher place.
Away from society that wants to shove lies in my face.
Away from the anger, that builds in my veins.
Away from the politics, medication, and pain.
It brings me to a peaceful land.
It brought me to art, taught me to use my hands.
It brought me to music, let me lift my voice because I can.
It brought me to myself, told me, take a stand.
The "drug", it is my medicine.
The "drug", the Earth, it saved me.

The "drug".
It takes me away, to a much higher place.
Away from society that wants to shove lies in my face.
Away from the anger, that builds in my veins.
Away from the politics, medication, and pain.
It brings me to a peaceful land.
It brought me to art, taught me to use my hands.
It brought me to music, let me lift my voice because I can.
It brought me to myself, told me, take a stand.
The "drug", it is my medicine.
The "drug", the Earth, it saved me.
