Hippocratic Oath Lyrics

Here lay in my hospital bed

Day after day each one I do dread

Take this pill or that pill

Or we're here to take your blood

So please be still

They are in here so often

I do begin to wonder

Is this really Dracula

I am growing paler

And all this is just a blunder

Only read articles that are peer reviewed

They say I am over you (I'm over this)

Empirically

I only say it back (I love you)

When your force me to

Your affliction is

Unremarkable

I can't fix you I just do no harm

I comfort your false alarm

Hippocratic Oath was just some inside joke

Written down by mistake

I think what he was trying to say

Is that we should just walk away

Love only works if it hurts

If it hurts

I always hurt

Only take prescriptions that are placebos

It's not medicine

It's just theatre

I only say it back

When your force me to

It's the golden rule

What we learn in school

I can't help you I can't even help myself

Just reaching towards the shelf

With the magic pill that masks my pain

Circling down a drain

I wish I could land this plane

We're just going to have to jump

And pray for the best

That pain in your chest

I'll document

With passing regret

It will heal on its own
