see medication sallow it down

Verse 1 - Vocal is quiet, almost whispering

Sunlight filtering through broken blinds

Voices buzzing just behind my eyes

They say I’m different, say I’m losing time

When I watch the traffic, when I walk the line

They whispering at the locker, looking at my hands

It’s hard to tell them what my brain demands

They call it “crazy,” say I’m out of phase

Just another ghost in the morning haze

Pre-Chorus

But you… you don’t look away

You just ask me how I am today

And I know I shouldn’t mention all the things I see

How the shadows creep when you’re not with me

Chorus - Mellow but with a heavy bass kick

So I take the white pill, watch it slide down

Hide the jagged edges from this sleepy town

Yeah, I’m a little quiet, I’m a little slow

Let the medication make the chaos go

They can call me crazy, but you hold my hand

Through the static, you understand

White pill silhouette, hiding all the pain

Dancing with the girl, walking in the rain

Verse 2

They think they know me, think it’s just a show

That I’m just moody, I don’t want to grow

But there’s a symphony playing that they cannot hear

Sometimes it’s beauty, sometimes it’s fear

I saw a fox run through the concrete gym

But that was only me, I was looking dim

They called me foolish, told me I was wrong

I just let the silence pull me along

Pre-Chorus

But you… you don’t look away

You just ask me how I am today

And I know I shouldn’t mention all the things I see

How the shadows creep when you’re not with me

Chorus

So I take the white pill, watch it slide down

Hide the jagged edges from this sleepy town

Yeah, I’m a little quiet, I’m a little slow

Let the medication make the chaos go

They can call me crazy, but you hold my hand

Through the static, you understand

White pill silhouette, hiding all the pain

Dancing with the girl, walking in the rain

Bridge - Slow, ethereal, minimal instrumentation

They don’t see the walls closing in

They don’t know where I end and where I begin

But I can feel your sweater, I can feel your breath

Saving me from all this little death

The voices quiet down when you speak my name

The bullying just becomes a passing game

I’m safe in the fog…

I’m safe in the fog.

(Guitar Solo - Slow, melodic, melancholic)

Chorus - More acoustic, gentle

So I take the white pill, watch it slide down

Hide the jagged edges from this sleepy town

Yeah, I’m a little quiet, I’m a little slow

Let the medication make the chaos go

They can call me crazy, but you hold my hand

Through the static, you understand

White pill silhouette, hiding all the pain

Dancing with the girl, walking in the rain

Outro - Fading out

Walking in the rain…

White pill silhouette…

Just a little quiet.

Just a little slow.

You hold my hand.

(Whispered) I’m okay.

(End)
