Pills

Intro

Yeah...

It's Young ndaba de lilian....

Another long night...

Same thoughts...

Different bottle...

Chorus

I've been taking pills just to slow my mind down

Running from the voices but they always come around

Everybody thinks I'm fine when they see me in the crowd

But I'm fighting with myself when there's nobody around

I've been taking pills trying to kill the pain

But the pain comes back every single day

Temporary peace, that's all they ever gave

Now I'm trapped inside a cycle I created

Verse 1

3 AM, staring at the ceiling again

Trying to make peace with the demons within

Every little memory keeps knocking my door

And I don't got the strength to fight anymore

Friends keep calling, I don't answer my phone

It's hard to feel loved when you feel alone

Got a smile on my face, got a storm in my chest

Everybody sees the mask, nobody sees the rest

Hook

I said I'm okay

But that's a lie

Been losing battles

Inside my mind

Chorus

I've been taking pills just to slow my mind down

Running from the voices but they always come around

Everybody thinks I'm fine when they see me in the crowd

But I'm fighting with myself when there's nobody around

Verse 2

Looking in the mirror, I don't like what I see

A different version of the person I used to be

Thought I'd find freedom at the bottom of a cup

Now I'm just searching for a way to get up

Every high got a low waiting after it

Every escape got reality attached to it

And every shortcut got a price to pay

Guess I'm learning that the hard way

Bridge

The silence gets loud

When the lights go out

And the medicine ain't working now

Final Chorus

I've been taking pills just to slow my mind down

Running from the voices but they always come around

Everybody thinks I'm fine when they see me in the crowd

But I'm fighting with myself when there's nobody around

I've been taking pills trying to kill the pain

But the pain comes back every single day

Temporary peace, that's all they ever gave

Now I'm trapped inside a cycle I created

Hook

lm too low...

I need some pills...

I need some pills...
