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
