"Take the pill"
They told me that if I swallowed a capsule,
Then I would find out all the secrets to the world
If I take it with a glass of water, all my sorrows will vanish
I caved in, knowing something wasn't right
But I took it without one measly fight
I hoped for a better life, maybe even get the chance to sleep at night
Very soon, I realized they were full of lies that hypnotized my damaged brain
Begging, screaming for someone to take the pain away
"If you take stronger doses, you will then feel better"
Why did silly old me listen?
I never listen to my heart, only my head which seems to be the problem
Telling myself that I should have felt a difference by now
Maybe it wasn't the pill; it was me
I was the problem, it seemed
I made life out to be a tragedy
Step in my shoes, and I promise that you will see what I mean
Feel the pain that I have felt
Cry the tears that I have cried
You will understand why
I look over my shoulder and out at the road behind
I run faster than I can, sprinting from the past
A clock is ringing, distracting my disturbing thinking
Where am I running?
Where can I go that will keep me safe from the ones that haunt me at night?
Who will be there to console me at the end of the road?
I am just wasting my breath for nothing
Lungs filled with sorrow and regret
I quit taking deep breaths
