Little Blue Pills

(album: Days N' Daze / Arroyo Deathmatch - 2012)

Little blue pills to help you sleep
I don't like my dreams
So I prefer to drink
I'm clawing at my chest
But the real problem's in my head
At least that's what you say

There's no such thing as love and freedom
There's only money and sex
Addiction and depression, poverty
And all affection is misguided
The lies keep building up

I am so tired, my bones do ache
There's no time to rest
For now we'll have to wait
And, finally, when I can lay with you in bed
For some reason, I'll drink alone instead
My decisions don't involve me anymore

Just one more taste
And I'll accept this is my life
My cancerous companion always does its job right
And a job's a funny thing 'cause it's their money that you need
To pay them back when someone's charging you to breathe

Nauseous and sweating
Coughing 'til my throat bleeds
And I'm shaking so goddamn bad
That I can barely hold this notepad
To read the letter that you left me to remind me
Everything turns out okay
