Scary Kids Scaring Kids - The Only Medicine Lyrics






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]

    i find it really crazy how many of us havent really listened to sksk for the past 5-10 years but we all are coming back here tonight no matter where we are in life now or what music we are into tonight we are warping back to this moment in time. not just saying this but sksk is top 3 best live performances for me because when i saw them there were literally only like 30-40 ppl there it was epic. R.I.P.

    i.... ....

  69. l.... ....

    listening to this makes me so mad!!! why tyson?! why?!

  70. K.... B....

    this song ripped when i was in high school. SKSK were one of the few bands in the genre i didn't feel embarrassed about enjoying after graduating high school. I always liked Tyson's voice too. RIP.

  71. M.... ....

    Thanks for getting me through many hours of WoW, Tyson. Such bad ass lyrics this one was always my fav.
    R.I.P. 

  72. S.... C....

    I miss you guys, so so much

  88. m.... ....

    I put my kids to sleep to this song, irony is I'm not scaring them

  89. L.... ....

    dat solo

  90. S.... ....

    so there is a medicine......its called alcohol

  91. L.... ....

    talk about nostalgia ...

  92. B.... S....

    I kill zombies to this song..

  93. C.... A....

    I love a lot of the music they have. I like The Deep End, Faces, Snake Devil, The Only Medicine, I know it's not a lot but those are the ones that come to my head when I think about them

  94. A.... D....

    I miss old Scary Kids like this where the synth and the vocals are unmistakable. The later stuff (including even the self titled, even thought that's still pretty old) is awesome and they definitely grew as a band and had great composure and stuff, but it's really polished and almost reminds me of Saosin on songs like The Deep End. But these old vocals are very recognizable. It's all great music, but I miss that unmistakable voice that barely shows through in later Scary Kids.

  95. L.... ....

    wow..... this brought back me to my sophomore year in highschool :) can remember when this was playing on Oven Fresh on MTV :P

  96. J.... K....

    LOL this comment is so great.

  97. b.... ....

    Florida has always had swarms of senior citizens. Whats new?
