Ruel Painkiller
Last year, Australian singer Ruel emerged onto the scene with his breakout single “Dazed And Confused,” and fans were quick to take to his melodic vibe. Today, he did his part in expanding the crossover effort with a remix to “Painkiller,” tapping Denzel Curry to hold it down for some guest vocals. Off the bat, it’s evident that this isn’t Denzel’s comfort zone — that’s not to say he can’t adapt, but we’re talking full-on pop-rap territory for the Carol City lyricist.

Lyrics
[Intro: Ruel]
You’re my painkiller
When my brain gets bitter
You keep me close
You keep me close
[Verse 1: Ruel]
I got front row seats for the parkside livin’
Feel like the one, but I’m one in a billion
Teenage cynical, and I don’t really know
What’s the point of livin’ if my heart gets broken?
Drivin’ on the road, waiting for head-on collision
Springtime funeral
I miss you, but I’d rather be alone
To keep me from
[Pre-Chorus: Ruel]
Heartbreaks, headaches
The doctor says I’m diagnosed with
Shit days, mistakes
But I’ll be fine
But I’ll be fine
[Chorus: Ruel]
‘Cause you’re my painkiller
When my brain gets bitter
You keep me close
When I’ve been miserable
And it takes forever
To let my brain get better
You keep me close
You keep me close
[Verse 2: Ruel]
Window seats as the plane starts leavin’
Miss those streets where my knees were bleedin’
Homesick veteran
I left my bed again
Oh, lookin’ for
[Pre-Chorus: Ruel]
Heartbreaks, headaches
The doctor says I’m diagnosed with
Shit days, mistakes
But I’ll be fine
But I’ll be fine
[Chorus: Ruel]
‘Cause you’re my painkiller
When my brain gets bitter
You keep me close
When I’ve been miserable
And it takes forever
To let my brain get better
You keep me close
You keep me close
[Verse 3: Denzel Curry]
Okay, the pain kills with no hesitation
And my brain fills with no narration
Got the same shield that block all the hatred
Got the same chills when them thoughts are racin’ about you
Talkin’ flowers in various hues
Take a poem and make it the blues
If it’s violence, then sirens are red
You won’t talk ’til I’m under the bed
Pretty nasty girl, forget what I said
I’m kidding baby, I’m just out of my head
I’ve been thinking out Pandora’s Box
Take your box and you keepin’ the lock
And I keep it locked down for you
And I’m bound to you, how that sound to you?
They spread like the flu
On that thought, get around to you
[Chorus: Ruel]
‘Cause you’re my painkiller
When my brain gets bitter
You keep me close
When I’ve been miserable
And it takes forever
To let my brain get better
You keep me close, oh woah
You keep me close
[Outro: Ruel]
I know you hear me (Close)
Yeah (Close)
Close
