DESCRIPTION:
Cough Syrup by Young The Giant is featured in On My Way, the fourteenth episode of Season Three. It is sung by Blaine. He sings it in the auditorium to Kurt as he thinks he has an idea of what to perform at Regionals to fit the theme of 'inspiration'.

The performance is intercut with a scene where Karofsky is being bullied at school for being gay. He goes to his room only to discover that the bullying is continuing online. After the song, he climbs on a chair in his closet and it is understood later that he tried to hang himself but his father had found him barely alive, though unconscious.

LYRICS:

Blaine:
Life's too short to even care at all, oh woah oh,
I'm losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' control
oh oh,
These fishes in the sea, they're staring at me woah oh,
Oh oh oh oh,
A wet world aches for a beat of a drum,
Woah Oh

If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune that I, I should have found by now
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down, come down

Life's too short to even care at all oh woah
I'm coming up now, coming up now, out of the blue oh
These zombies in the park, they're looking for my heart
Oh oh oh oh
A dark world aches for a splash of the sun oh oh

If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune that I, I should have found by now

And so I run now to the things they said could restore me,
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down

Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm losing my mind, losing my mind, losing control

If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune that I, I should have found by now

And so I run now to the things they said could restore me,
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down

One more spoon of cough syrup now, oh woah
One more spoon of cough syrup now, oh woah oh oh
