lyrics

Take these pills
To placate your waking mind
The nightmares will be worth it
If they mask what's on the surface
Hide your hand
No one likes a broken man
Lock the door, three times or more
Another day, another war

I've done it again
Every one year in ten
I managed to cave in
My flesh
My skin and bones
Feel so un-at-home

Hell is empty
The gang's all here
In my head
Convincing me
And so sincere
You're better off dead
It's your condition
Try not to listen

But it's not health
It's mental
It's the noisy brakes
To quiet on your own
(Go be successful)
Don't expect our help
They're your problems
But we've got the capital
The wherewithal to solve them
(You're disrespectful)

Am I crazy?
Am I affecting me?
Do I deserve anxiety?
Am I right?
Am I wrong?
Can I do anything at all?

Hardly slept the night before
Racing through my mind
Tonight will be better
To myself I'll be kind
I lie awake this morning
Thinking how I will make today
Then I laugh, think of all the times
That I felt that way
Take a deep breath in and out
Let the devils leave my head
Pet my dog
Get out of bed
