pill and pain

*(Verse 1)* I pour the potion just to feel alright Sip slow, let it take me through the night These feelings hit me, like waves in the dark But the more I drink, the more I fall apart I’m running from the pain, but it’s never far These demons chasing me, no matter where you are I feel you in my veins, but you ain’t real It’s just the potion talking, numbing how I feel *(Pre-Chorus)* I’m sipping on this poison, but I know it’s no cure Trying to heal the wounds, but they just reopen more In a world so cold, I’m looking for the light But these potions keep me spinning, blurring out my sight *(Chorus)* Potions and pain, they run through my blood I’m lost in the haze, drowning in the flood Every sip’s a promise, every drop’s a lie But I keep on drinking, hoping I’ll survive Potions and pain, they pull me down deep I’m trapped in this cycle, losing every sleep Though it hurts, though it burns, I’m stuck in this dream Caught between the high and the way I scream *(Verse 2)* I thought I found peace at the bottom of a cup But every hit I take, it just ain’t enough I’m chasing ghosts through the fog in my mind But the more I drink, the harder peace is to find These potions promise healing, but they only bring harm They numb the pain, but take away my charm I’m fighting with myself, trapped in this haze Wondering if I’ll ever see clearer days *(Pre-Chorus)* I’m sipping on this poison, but I know it’s no cure Trying to heal the wounds, but they just reopen more In a world so cold, I’m looking for the light But these potions keep me spinning, blurring out my sight *(Chorus)* Potions and pain, they run through my blood I’m lost in the haze, drowning in the flood Every sip’s a promise, every drop’s a lie But I keep on drinking, hoping I’ll survive Potions and pain, they pull me down deep I’m trapped in this cycle, losing every sleep Though it hurts, though it burns, I’m stuck in this dream Caught between the high and the way I scream *(Bridge)* These bottles hold my secrets, but they don’t tell the truth They take away the heartache but steal my youth I’m fighting with my demons, but they know me well They know the taste of lean is my private hell *(Chorus)* Potions and pain, they run through my blood I’m lost in the haze, drowning in the flood Every sip’s a promise, every drop’s a lie But I keep on drinking, hoping I’ll survive Potions and pain, they pull me down deep I’m trapped in this cycle, losing every sleep Though it hurts, though it burns, I’m stuck in this dream Caught between the high and the way I scream *(Outro)* Potions and pain, they’re wearing me thin But I keep on sipping, trying to pretend Maybe on
