Pills,
Pills,
Pills,
One to fix the anger,
One to make me smile,
One to give the impression,
That living is worth while,
I am a robot,
Stuck in a cold spot,
Forced to move,
When I feel stuck again,
There's a pill for that too,
Hello,
I am Robot,
I mean...
Shit I forgot,
These pills have stolen my memory,
And drained nearly every ounce of what's left of me,
Pills,
Pills,
Pills,
These pills are all that I am,
A haunted silhouette of a man,
There's still exhaustion in my bones and an ache in my chest,
But they gave me a pill that should fix the rest,
Now my eyes are gray,
I've completely disappeared,
But I suppose at this point it's okay,
My soul was wary anyway,
Just another shadow stuck to the ground,
Replaced with a carbon copy,
Of what the world thinks I should be,
These pills finally did it,
They destroyed every fiber of me.
