Prescription Rot

Verse 1

Amber

Plastic lid cracks

Spilled out like jagged gravel

I do not know the name

Maybe red

Maybe blue

Maybe the ones for the heart

Sallow skin and bitter tongue

Copper taste

Rust

Chorus

Swallow the secret

Swallow the sickness

Swallow the silence

Heavy gut

Heavy lead

I am sinking under the floor

Swallow the secret

Swallow the sickness

Swallow the silence

Verse 2

Rattling

Hands are shaking hard

White pills like bleached teeth

One for the nerves

Ten for the end of the day

Cold sweat

Coming down the walls

Vision starts to fray at the seams

Drowning

Dry

Chorus

Swallow the secret

Swallow the sickness

Swallow the silence

Heavy gut

Heavy lead

I am sinking under the floor

Swallow the secret

Swallow the sickness

Swallow the silence

Bridge

Unknown chemistry

Burning through the throat

What was meant to heal

What was meant to save

Turning into stone

Turning into ash

Turning into nothing

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Swallow the secret

Swallow the sickness

Swallow the silence

Heavy gut

Heavy lead

I am sinking under the floor

Swallow the secret

Swallow the sickness

Swallow the silence

Outro

Label torn off

I can't read it

I can't feel it

I can't see it

Darkness

Medicine

Gone
