I wake up, swallow 16 pills

Some for my belly, some for my head

Some so I wish I was i dead

The yellow one for neurosis

The white one makes me a gawker

I sit and watch myself fade away

16 pills a day

16 pills to kill the pain

But the pain is the only thing that's real in me

16 pills to feel again

But I don't know what i need

They gave me pills to be like them

But I just want to be him

The one who plays, the one who sings

The one who doesn't need these things

But he's not here, he's in a song

And I've been silent far too long
