Taking Pills
You don’t get to say I’m fine
Go about your day and choose my life
To deceive me while staring into my eye
So imma take this pill and kiss you goodbye
Now you say it’s all in my mind
When you say I’m wasting your time
It’s not real but an awful high
That you’re always right by my side
So I’ll give a kiss and go bout my life
Feeling so empty and hurt all the time
So I can just feed on all your lies
Now imma take this pill to hide inside my mind
You and I, together, alone, where we lie
A severed tongue and hissing snake so sly
May your debt be paid and hell you dine
As twisted as can be, the love of my last life
Cuz now we’re grown and fighting all the time
Here I am pretending you’re my bride
One day I’ll be leaving you behind
Till then, I’ll take this pill and kiss you goodbye
I’m killing myself, these words are my crime
Going through hell, with no reason to shine
Offering my soul to sell, just to have a dime
And this hole I fell, within darkness, I’m blind
So imma take this pill and kiss you all goodbye
Just gonna take this pill and leave it all behind
Taking this pill, just gotta pretend I’m alright
I’m gonna take this pill, so you won’t have to cry.
