The Perishers - Pills

I hope my smile

can distract you

I hope my fists

can fight for two

So it never has to show

And you’ll never know

*

I hope my love

can blind you

I hope my arms

can bind you

So you’ll never have to see

What we’ve grown to be

*

One may think

we’re alright

But we need pills

to sleep at night

We need lies

to make it through the day

We’re not ok

*

One may think

we’re doing fine

But if I had to lay it on the line

We’re losing ground

with every passing day

We’re not ok

*

But that’s one thing

I would never

One thing I would never

That’s one thing

I would never say to you
