The Agonies

Relent to the feeling you try to resist; now it has all come to this
 Medicine cabinets are your treasure troves now the hunt is on
 After the high a crushing low you scrape away the release because it's slow
 Driven to the mill to block the ills, pillbilly you are never alone
 You were the light of your family
 A beacon of hope snuffed out before you
 Everything changes nothing here stays the same
 These West Virginia hills will sedate you
 ♪
 You rise again to fall again I cannot believe you would murder for medicine
 Claw the guilt away as the crank bugs they burrow below
 You wake to the misery of your life compounded from dependency
 Coal mine scrip, Suboxone strips our pride is swallowed away
 You were the light of your family
 A beacon of hope snuffed out before you
 Everything changes nothing here stays the same
 These West Virginia hills will sedate you
 ♪
 One man's cure is another man's malady
 A door unlocked I'm standing above you
 Nothing is sacred everything's here to take
 These West Virginia pills will sedate you
 Oh, what a rush
