lyrics

Sweet girl don't you know I'm a lost soul?
I'll play this deck but it's not my first rodeo
I'm mediocre with the bluff but much better at laying my cards out plain:

I take my pills
They keep me sane
Well they can save me from dying but they don't save me from shame

Sick kid don't you see I'm a failure?
I'll play this role but I'm nobody's savior
And in this go-between our talk is thick with expectation
I can't change what I am, it's in my binding
A knot that comes apart, always unwinding
A short and selfish path leads to dead ends, beyond that green

I take my pills
They keep me tame
Well you can save me from trying but you can't save me from blame
For that I take my pills
They keep me sane
Well they can save me from dying but they don't save me from shame

He takes his pills
Claim they keep him sane
But they don't stop him from drinking and they don't carry his name
But with those pills
He's found his way
Carved like the tree of a lover listing our his numbered days

You feel better with the lights off but you'd look better with the lights on
