Silent Voice Placebo Pills

These drug's don't seem to work if anything
they just make things worse

Hopefully maybe these pill works better 
than the one's you gave me before 

I'll give them a try and I promise you will
be the 1st person I let know 

If the voices in my head stick around or go

Otherwise I'll be right back 1st thing tomorrow
banging on your door

In another guise of myself asking for 
something anything in order to please 
make the voices in my head somehow stop

Because not a single thing any of the many
of them say makes any sense at all it's
predominantly 99 percent all illogical
nonsense

And if you have nothing else in your
locker I'll gladly take a placebo in it's
place

If it somehow in anyway gets me through
this here very day 

And I'll worry about tomorrow when and
if those pesky old voices resonating inside
my head wake me up and with another
pounding headache as every other day
since and before
