Rx Lyrics

I can feel it in my chest, feel everybody's watching
I don't think I can stop it
They put me on the pills. they just make me feel lethargic
I don't take them anymore, I'm medicated with the vodka
Put it in my cup, sedated, dedicate it to the ghost
Blurred vision, I'm surrounded by the smoke
I ain't breathing right I feel like I could choke
And it's hard to climb around it when you're running out of rope
And it feels like

I'm standing in a puddle of gasoline with a match and a polaroid of the city lights
Trying to get ahold of myself with a bit of help from the bottle has been a tricky flight
Feeling like the key to it all is out in a thunderstorm dangling from a little kite
Every drop of blood in my body is turning into a tidal wave of the killing kind
Don't forget to breathe out though (x4)

[Hook] (x2)
You keep pulling me down, pulling me down
Pulling me under the water
You keep calling my name, calling my name
Calling me back to you

I ain't got the answers
I'm a man that's trying to make it on his own without a hiccup
And they don't understand it
They just looking at me propably thinking I'm a fucking slip up
An everyone around me actin'
Like they got a better way to settle when it kicks up
The venom only going to take a minute till it sink into your system
And it feels like

All the little the tremors are starting to shake a part of me loose that I need to make it out
Something is calling me to the depths and I'm pretty sure that I let it keep taking me down
Nothing is ever on solid ground anymore and I feel it rumbling fading me out
Every drop of blood in my body was turning into an avalanche when it came around
Don't forget to breathe out though (x4)

[Hook] (x4)
You keep pulling me down, pulling me down
Pulling me under the water
You keep calling my name, calling my name
Calling me back to you

Having spent nearly two years on the road touring in support of 88 Keys and Counting,

The end of 2008 saw Grieves enlisting the help of friend and collaborator Budo to co-produce Together/Apart bringing his signature swiss-army knife, multi-instrumental backdrop to Grieves' hauntingly poignant narrative. The album began taking shape in New York as the two built off the success 88 Keys and Counting had generated and paired it with the intensity they developed from their live performances. The recording process began to shadow the theme of the album as it saw tracks recorded in Colorado and Washington in addition to New York, infusing it with a mixture of regional influences while still maintaining a cohesive sound. As the album neared completion the title took on a double meaning for Grieves as he explored new subject matter in the absence of trust, refuge in addiction, acceptance and honesty in self-reflection, and trying to find his place in the world without forgetting his roots.
