They wanted me to take a little pill slightly smaller than a dot,
It would tear apart my mind and heart, it would make my insides rot.

It suppresses memories,
It suppresses pain,
It made me sad and made me ill,
Such hard work done in vain.

Persistently they asked me to swallow a pill larger than a dot,
It would would darken my mood and my mind, make my insides rot.

It keeps me from needing more
No need for other pills
Just this one, five a day,
My day, once long, has stilled.

I promised I would take a pill slightly larger than a dot,
It would tear me limb from limb, make my insides rot.

I made rash decisions,
Tears fell in streams,
I could not control myself,
Inside my darkened mind I screamed.

I took a little white pill bigger than a dot,
Crevices of my mind started closing, it made my insides rot.

Distance became a friend of mine,
People I couldn't bear,
My mouth sewn shut, so quiet,
I've not gone mad, I swear.

I could not stop taking a pill so big, about a dot,
I'd grown addicted to the madness, for it made my insides rot.
