Medication

We'll keep calm and carry on With good intentions They'll prescribe the rights and wrongs Until we're perfect So maybe one day we'll be safe In control and full of grace Never making a mistake So flawless Cut us deeper to the core We won't feel a thing Imperfections weighing more Repressing difference I wish this wasn't all so hard To be yourself and not on guard To stop the racing in your heart We'll fight it Put me under Now I'm powerless Take it all Take it all Take it I can't breathe without you You won't trust me I won't trust you too Bring me back and Bring me back and Bring it Medicate me Hide me deeper in my shed Until I'm all alone I'm hearing voices in this sound Hallucinating I could have sworn I heard it too A sudden, beautiful adieu It's telling me what I should do I follow Put me under Now I'm powerless Take it all Take it all Take it I can't breathe without you You won't trust me I won't trust you too Bring me back and Bring me back and Bring it Medicate me now As I'm turning into dis-reflection You can't slow me My body and my mind My emotions and my pride The simplest things became the hardest part now The easiest parts have taken all my dreams I'm afraid I'll never be okay I'm afraid I'm scared I can't be happy I'm afraid This silence you feel is not a way to be sincere (I'm afraid) And it's a way to cope A way to heal (I'm scared I can't be happy) But not for me when I can't feel (I'm afraid) The subtleties that make me want to (I'll never be okay) Be alive and not a statue (I'm afraid) Breathe the air Be here to talk to (I'm scared I can't be happy) I'm afraid (I'll never be the same) --- Medication - Silverstein
