Bitter Pill

Chew it up, spit it out, get a little taste
Such a bitter pill in a sugar case
Something more? Something less? Tell me what's next
Why can't I peel off the blindfold?

Realize, rearrange, gotta choke it down
You say you love me with a hand over my mouth
And with this bitter pill my truth will soon be found

I can't remember yesterday
Is it the pain we've caused or the drugs we take?
How could we? Why did this have to be?
Another bitter pill to choke on
Another day

Remember when we had eternity
(A simple plan before it started falling apart)
Remember when we thought that this could never be
(But here we are, in pieces, alone in the dark)

Chew it up, spit it out, get a little taste
Such a bitter pill in a sugar case
Something more? Something less? Tell me what's next
Why can't I peel off the blindfold?

Realize, rearrange, gotta choke it down
You say you love me with a hand over my mouth
And with this bitter pill my truth will soon be found

I can't remember yesterday
Is it the pain we've caused or the drugs we take?
How could we? Why did this have to be?
Another bitter pill to choke on
Another day

Remember when you said you'd had enough of me
(A simple plan before it started falling apart)
Together in this life of misery
(But here we are remembering what you mean to me)

The pain of a life lived with nothing to lose
The loss of your breath from the grip of the noose
The veil that covers your heart all in black
When feeling the cold of the knife in your back

I can't remember yesterday
Is it the pain we've caused or the drugs we take?
How could we? Why did this have to be?
Another bitter pill to choke on
Another day

Swallow, swallow
