Poetry Book: Songs from the Heart [COMPLETED]

it's always pills

It's always pills
Cheap thrills
Because pain kills
It's always pills

Trapped in a fugue state
Staying up late
All the time, I'm taking pills
To prevent the pain from killing me
Always suffering, why can't you see?

It's always pills
Nothing is fulfilled
I'm always ill
It could give you chills
When my tears spill

I can't feel
The world beyond the pain
Nothing can sustain
I've been drained
Locked away, sealed away,
Trapped in a never-ending cycle

It's always pills
That gives you thrills
But give me life
Give me happiness and health
They give me a wealth
Of meds
Messing with my head
I can't stand the fact that
I'm dying again

It's always pills
They give you
To help you block out the pain
Nothings gonna be the same
When the pain comes knocking
The pills keep talking
Messing with my head,
They're messing with my head

It's like they don't wanna find the cause
The root of the problem is not their fault
But their ignorance is strong
Vise-like and then you're gone
Lost to the pain
Lost to the agony
Of just trying to live life
Beyond the illnesses inside of me

Nothing can break me free
Nothing can mend my bones
Heal my nerves
And liberate my soul

Trapped in a whirlwind of fears
Looking back on the years
I stood back and saw
Their own hateful jobs
Breaking the law
It's unknown if I can pull through this
I just feel so helpless
It's always pills they give us
It's like they don't want to accept
The root of the problem is in our spines

I'm trapped inside
Locked away at night
As the agony grips me
As the illnesses twist me
Nothing can save me
Nothing can save me
It's always pills they give me
To help, they said
But help what?
The pills barely help
The pain just builds and builds
Into a crescendo of pain
Where all is lost and
Nothing is gained

It's always pills ....
