《the drugs don t work》的詞曲由傑森·阿爾丁演唱，英文詞曲由Jason Addiss和Brent Katz共同完成。其歌詞如下：
Verse 1:
I took a pill and I tried to sleep
But the dreams I dreamed were of my pain
The medicine that I'm taking now
Can't erase the memories that I've known
Chorus:
The drugs don't work, they just keep me trapped
In a world that's far away from happy and I don't care anymore
Cause when you love you love too hard
The pills just end up making it worse
So now I just walk alone in my misery
Cause my mind's become so dark, and it won't stop hurting anymore
Verse 2:
I'm on the edge of something real
But I'm scared of what it might reveal
And every time I try to push it away
It just comes back stronger than before
Chorus:
The drugs don't work, they just keep me trapped
In a world that's far away from happy and I don't care anymore
Cause when you love you love too hard
The pills just end up making it worse
So now I just walk alone in my misery
My mind won't stop, it won't stop hurting anymore
Bridge:
So now I just hope and pray
That I'll wake up from this terrible day
Cause the more I take, the more it brings me down
And now my life has become so numb
Chorus:
The drugs don't work, they just keep me trapped
In a world that's far away from happy and I don't care anymore
Cause when you love you love too hard
The pills just end up making it worse
So now I just walk alone in my misery
And my mind won't stop, it won't stop hurting anymore.
