This song is about finding a way out of the darkness of addiction. It uses a sort of play on words to explain the meaning of the band's name: Theriaca is an ancient antidote for the bite of venomous creatures made from around 70 different drugs that are pulverized and mixed with honey.

Clutch your souvenirs
But they won't erase
All the damage you've done
Out of lies manifests fear
Words like ammunition
From the barrel of a gun
When all the king's horses
And all the king's men
Can never make you whole again
Close your eyes and
Feed this disease
Take a second and I'll face your fears
Hold my breath until they disappear
All the wounds I have will never heal
Without
Drugs and honey
Drugs and honey
Scars reveal
The secrets of our past
And how it's all so real
The wicked and the jaded fall behind
And there's no reason why
But they've lost along the way
Constantly afraid
And now you'll never compromise
I've seen it all
It's worse on the inside
Close your eyes and
Feed this disease
Take a second and I'll face your fears
Hold my breath until they disappear
All the wounds I have will never heal
Without
Drugs and honey
Drugs and honey
All the king's horses
All the king's men
Will never make you whole again
Open your eyes and
See this disease
Drugs and honey
Drugs and honeymore
