Life Is a Pill
life is a pill
waiting for the bottle to refill
it takes away the feeling
but not the hurt that's dealing
it keeps you under control
but not the violence in your soul
it makes you relax
but not from having to face the facts
it helps you to go to sleep
but not from the nightmares your forced to keep
it helps you to focus all day long
but not keeping you from thinking wrong
and when you realize the pill has not helped you before
you will not want to take them anymore
