about

“Medicine” was inspired by transformative and inter-dimensional experiences I’ve had with plant medicines and in dreams. Once we started recording the song, it evolved from a simple acoustic piece to a more dynamic rocker, charged with sonic textures.

lyrics

please bring me my medicine
leave me now it's not a sin
turn me on my special friend
open your mind and let us in

turn the light off take my hand
helping you see your shadow man
oh no no
head down to the shore
break out from this warm poison sea
it's killing you
it's killing me

just can't help it feel so low
this worn out habit it's got to go
the serpent knows, she's always on my mind

please be kind my medicine
you got a love that can't be spent
here they come the small blue men
close your eyes and let us in

head down to the shore
break out from this warm poison sea
it's killing you
it's killing me

always crying in your sleep
someone's driving, it's not me
long way down, underground
she's always on my mind
