[Verse 1]
Little blue pills to help you sleep
I don’t like my dreams so I prefer to drink
I’m clawing at my chest but the real problem’s in my head
At least that’s what you say

[Verse 2]
There’s no such thing as love and freedom
There’s only money and sex
Addiction and depression, poverty
And all affection is misguided
The lies keep building up

[Verse 3]
I am so tired; my bones do ache
There’s no time to rest, for now we’ll have to wait
Finally, when I can lay with you in bed, for some reason, I’ll drink alone instead
My decisions don’t involve me anymore

[Verse 4]
Just one more taste and I’ll accept this is my life
My cancerous companion always does its job right
And a job’s a funny thing
‘Cause it’s their money that you need to pay them back when someone’s charging you to breathe

[Chorus]
Nauseous and sweating
Coughing ‘til my throat bleeds
And I'm shaking so goddamn bad that I can barely hold this notepad
To read the letter that you left me to remind me everything turns out okay
