Penicillin (It Doesn't Mean Much) Lyrics

Don't say it's the last time you'll ever need this
To simply blow over in words you conceal with
It doesn't mean much when you're telling me lies
To prove your affection, you'd marry my strings
But when I'm called away, do you bury my things
How easily unearthed what our maladies hide
But I'll never leave
You could never go where I couldn't follow
I'll make you see
Never been a pill or sin I couldn't swallow

I swear on the bottle, from the bottom, it all looks worse than it is
Ink takes, routine takes ink, we'll parch the words
That leave me as film on your lips, wrists, and fingers
A cage, like the first verse, when I promised you (us) all the rest
Now you'll feel the rest
But I'll never leave
You could never go where I couldn't follow
I'll make you see
Never been a pill or sin I couldn't swallow
I swear on the ballot, from up here, you can't see a thing
So I'll never ask
You could never take the words that would follow
And you'll never tell
Never said a thing that I didn't already know
I swear on the gavel, from the battle, I've grown tired of the war
Let's remove the bond from these bands that we wear
The rings never closed, so there'll ne'er be a blame to bear
Where we're built to bend
Oh, the flesh never dyes
