lyrics

Yeah you can feel the weight returning,
And the burden is unliveable, unstoppable.
That means you’ve gotta take your pills.
Now you can feel your heart start running.
And the race is unbearable. Unwinnable.
Only thing you can do: take your pills.
Though they make you retch and heave.
Though they leave your mouth chalked and parched.
Though they can offer no relief.
Though they can’t change what you are.

Choke em all down,
Choke em all down with pride.
Choke em all down,
Choke em down with your pride.

Here’s one for the highs, and one for the lows,
And one to smooth out the in-betweens.
A little for the ups, a little for the downs,
And some to stop you slipping, now you’re slipping,
Crying, screaming:
Take your pills.

Take your pills
Yeah, sedate your useless body.
Dim out those dark places,
Until reality is foggy,
And friends become unfamiliar faces.

Take your pills
Dull your pathetic senses,
Shadow your shame in cloud,
A lick of paint on your defenses,
Before they all come crashing down.

Choke em all down,
Choke em all down with pride.
Feel em rotting out,
Rotting out your insides.

Here’s one for the highs, and one for the lows,
And one to smooth out the in-betweens.
A little for the ups, a little for the downs,
And some to stop you slipping, now you’re slipping,
Crying, screaming:
Take your pills.

You raging cunt of disappointment,
Suspended in an air of discontent.
A dying fly in the ointment,
Sucked down the drain of supplements.

If this is how it’s gonna be this year,
Then let this year be the last.
If this is how it’s gonna be once again,
Pop the lid, spill em out, raise your glass.

And choke em down
Choke em down.
Choke em down.
Choke em all fucking down.
