Silverstein - 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 we ignore,
Embrace indifference.

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.
You bring me back,
You bring me back,
You bring it.
Medicate me.

Hide me deeper in my shell,
Until I'm all alone.
I'm hearing voices in this cell,
Hallucinating.
I could have sworn I heard it too, A sad and 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.
You bring me back,
You bring me back,
You bring it.
Medicate me now.

As I'm turning into this reflection,
You control 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 of fear is not a way to be sincere (I'm afraid)
And it's a way to cope, a way to deal (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 ok, I'll never be ok)
be alive and not a statue (I'm afraid)
Breathe the air, be here to talk to (I'm scared I can't be happy)
I'm afraid
I'll never be the same
