Pills

These small little pills will help me 
That’s what the trained doctor said 
Those little pills will help control me 
And the voices that live in my head 
This one will make it all better 
This one will make it all fine
This one will stop you from killing yourself 
This one will keep you in line 
So I take them without hesitation 
Down the hatch, one two and three 
But those voices they only grow louder 
And the only one that hears them is me 

So now I am stuck in the cycle 
And I wonder why, how and when 
Did I become that kind of person 
That will be taking this pills till the end.
