I swallow what you give me
I eat up line after line
I pop your words like pills 
Yet, what you say gives me zero thrills 
I work so maybe I can leave this all behind 
I work so that I can finally have some pride
But I swallow your medicine 
I take your drugs
They make me numb
They make me dumb
Dumb enough to want to stay
Dumb enough to keep me here
To keep me from running away
I sit and think as I take the next drink

They always say don’t drink and die
But I’m done with this life
I just want to feel high
I just want to feel like I’ve got a place
I just want to feel like I can do something
But you keep telling me I can’t
So I swallow what you give me

Hoping I overdose
