Sleeping Pill
An alluring pill
A promise
The promise to kill
To take away pain
To make things better
When there's nothing to gain
And life is no longer bright
The sun has dimed
And you can no longer fight
When you can't pass "Go"
But you're not sure why
And you just don't know
You question the reason
We walk this earth
Living through every season
When you can't see the good
And you don't understand
How anyone could
When family turns
Into a hated thing
And everything burns
Your aching soul
You cannot cope
You cannot roll
You just sit still
Waiting there
Waiting for the magic pill
To turn everything black
Erase the world
There's no going back
A promise
The promise to kill
To take away pain
To make things better
When there's nothing to gain
And life is no longer bright
The sun has dimed
And you can no longer fight
When you can't pass "Go"
But you're not sure why
And you just don't know
You question the reason
We walk this earth
Living through every season
When you can't see the good
And you don't understand
How anyone could
When family turns
Into a hated thing
And everything burns
Your aching soul
You cannot cope
You cannot roll
You just sit still
Waiting there
Waiting for the magic pill
To turn everything black
Erase the world
There's no going back
