PINK Pills

0:00

(Verse 1) I caught a flicker in the mental, of a face I thought I knew, Through the café windowpane, a fractured déjà vu, Told myself “it’s just fatigue,” I must be made out of something that's see-through, But the veil is thinning, truth is peeking through the miscue. Brushing my teeth, the mirror whispers, — “I’m right behind you,” Turn around, the hallway clock ticks rewinds the timeline C-me equals ICU squaring da-two doing Einstein moves. Friends say I start my sentences in the middle, a riddle splitting little clues, Every misplaced key’s a prophecy, paranoia pirouettes, it’s tightening the screws. Wake up at 3, in the a.m I assumed, look around the room, No photos, no virtues, but a doctor that hums a tune: (Pre-Chorus) He said, "Son, try these pretty pink ones take one by one, till every color you see bleeds into the sun" Now I'm staring down the barrel of a pink and white oblivion (Hook) Pink pills, pink pills, takin’ all the crazy Pink pills, pain pills, everything get hazy, They promised paradise, but I’m a dazy pushin’ daisies, Pink pills, pain pills, I’m a lost soul inside a casing Pink pills, pink pills, takin’ all the crazy Pink pills, pain pills, everything get hazy, They promised paradise, but I’m a dazy pushin’ daisies, Pink pills, pain pills, I’m a lost soul inside a casing. (Bridge) Take one if you're lonely / Take two if you're numb / Take three if you hate when the mirror reflects what you've become/ Take four for the voices / Take five to forget / Take six when the sunlight's light sometimes isn't quite so sun like/ Take seven for the tears / and eight for those you lost/ Take nine if you want time to pause, now if you want your life to end then go ahead my friend only then can you take all ten (Verse 2) So I tossed the refill in a storm drain, watched the water take the evidence, Bitter taste of life, my nerves are jumpin’ like a broken sentence, Fighting demons with a bent coat hanger—quiet, but relentless, Anxiety’s a group chat I can’t mute, I only feed the tension. Voices in my head hold a city council, voting down my peace of mind, I’m the guy filibustering with a busted megaphone and twine, Daydreams stampede like feral livestock, logic left behind, The night’s a horror-flick, chalk outlined in chalk... wait... Chalk outlined in shock? Sublime. Then a sudden brittle clarity—I dig up the emergency stash, The “just in case I crash,” the sudden whiplash, the final smash-and-grab, One by one they tumble, the volume drops, the synapses collapse, But so does the laughin' track that I used to have. Now I’m lost in my own kitchen, eating cereal I forgot to pour, Scrolling photos of a dude I kinda miss—I think I wore his skin before. I can’t even want to want the madness, numb to the degree, Of being empty space where the violent static used to be, A screen recording of a loading wheel, buffering eternally. They took the weird, the wild, the “you sure you’re okay?” in me, Every word gets tied together, spoken cursively... Pink pills pain pills a constant flatline of polite conformity (Pre-Chorus) The Doc said, "Son, try these pretty pink ones take one by one, till every color you see bleeds into the sun" Now I'm staring down the barrel of a pink and white oblivion (Hook) Pink pills, pink pills, takin’ all the crazy Pink pills, pain pills, everything get hazy, They promised paradise, but I’m a dazy pushin’ daisies, Pink pills, pain pills, I’m a lost soul inside a casing Pink pills, pink pills, takin’ all the crazy Pink pills, pain pills, everything get hazy, They promised paradise, but I’m a dazy pushin’ daisies, Pink pills, pain pills, I’m a lost soul inside a casing. (Outro) Take one if you’re broken/Take two if you’re scared Take three if you’re tired of pretending you ever cared/Take four for the echoes/Take five to release Take six when the world’s weight feels like it’s never gonna cease/Take seven for the rage and eight for all the lies/Take nine if you want peace of mind/now if you want your life to end then go ahead my friend only then can you take all ten
