Teach me to swallow pills

Teach me to let it go

Teach me to lean my head back

And let it all flow

Lower me down to what I deserve

For I wouldnt know

This rope is battered

Yet lower me down

Slowly im drowning

You wouldnt know

And yet I am weak

And i couldnt believe

The cowardice in me

It is slowly getting dark

As im lowered

To my levels

To the river of sticks

Oh i am so sick

The pills should make me better

And yet no

No, but i never say no

My mind is perverse, wicked and warped

I see myself a monster

But the temptation is a sickeningly sweet smell

And just one bite of fruit

I dont want this dream to end

For me to fall again

And my mind prods against me

But the black takes control

A concious descision

To do what will kill me

What kills me

What strangles me so

And then i awake

From the sweet green dream

And it turns to a nightmare

I see it newly

For day casts shadows on the nights new sights

And I see this as wicked

Which I have known many times before

And you who knows my secrets

Who hears my whispers

What do believe

Am i monster?

Either way

Its all the same

Take the pills

But i do not know how to heal

I cant think of helping myself

I couldnt be able to stop this gushing flow

So teach me

Dear stranger

Teach me to swallow pills

How many how often too much too soon

Im sorry im sorry

I cant understand

Too many too soon

No my dear no

Too little too late

Shouldve taken more sooner

Before i became me

Shouldve known more

Been braver

But not anymore

The only thing i know to do is to destroy me

So thats what I'll do

Teach me to swallow pills
