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
I'll take it all
I'll take it all, I'll 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
I'll take it all
I'll take it all, I'll 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 me to talk to
(I'm scared I can't be happy)
I'm afraid I'll never be the same
