Cold Medicine
Downtempo trip-hop blues with fingerpicked acoustic guitar loop, vinyl crackle, deep bass, brushed drums. Male vocal, very low and gravelly, spoken-sung in an intimate late-night style. Minor key, smoky and atmospheric, reverb-drenched harmonies.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Ash on the dresser, the glass feels kind.
Bottle hums easy, tricks the mind.
Paper lungs glowing, sweet in the dark…
Doctor writes the cure, but misses the mark.
Chorus 1
That Cold medicine(it's sugar on the tongue.)
Cold medicine(makes the night feel young.)
Doctor prescribed.....
Cold medicine
Verse 2
Borrowed skin, soft as velvet heat.
For a moment, silence feels complete.
Every velvet cure fades with the dawn…
Doctor of Hurt still carries me wrong.
Chorus 2
That kind of medicine(velvet and lies.)
That medicine(gone with sunrise.)
Bridge
Script in my pocket, ghost in my chest.
Fill it again, though it never rests.
Every remedy’s a shadowed pill…
Lifts up the fever, but the fever’s still.
Final Chorus / Outro
That cold medicine(don’t cure a thing.)
That cold medicine(don’t cure a thing.)
That cold medicine just makes me colder still.
