Pills & Good Advice
PART I

[Intro]
On my first day out
My familiar town
Felt the same as in my dreams
Crying in my sleep
When the sun came down
Thinking "I am cured, it seems"
But
I don't know my name at all
But what else is new?
Should I show my pain at all?
If you only knew
You could try to help
Care is imprecise
All that I have left:
Pills and good advice

I need to steal something
I need to feel something
I need to dream something
I need to be something
I need to get better
I got to get better
I used to be better
But I could never be them again
[Verse 1]
Cure me if you can
Say I’ll be okay
I don't mind if it's a lie
I can burn this bridge
It could be today
But you’d know the reason why

(Where are you right now?)

[Chorus]
Please hold me now
Please let me drown
Please hold me now
Please let me down

[Verse 2]
I know that something's missing
Or rather, something else is there
I spend the day existing
You spend it being unaware
The times I wake up smiling
Feel like I'm making fun of you
I left the ER crying
So what's the use in trying now?
[Chorus]
Please let me down
Don't let me drown
Please let me down
Don't let me drown

[Post-Chorus]
I need to steal something
I need to feel something
I need to dream something
I need to be something
I need to get better
I got to get better
I used to be better
But I could never be them again

[Verse 3]
I need a sign and I'll be fine
The straighter the line, the more it's manmade
Circles confine us by design
But at least the 3D printer’s handmade
I need a sign and I’ll be fine
The straighter the line, the more it's manmade
Circles confine us by design
But at least the 3D printer’s handmade
[Verse 4]
I've been building off of you
I've been texting on the freeway just to talk to you
And
I know you wouldn't want me to
But I know if any later, you won’t follow through
Yeah

[Verse 5]
And I have noticed you've had it hard
Even since the attack (Attack)
And I would take you up to the stars
If I knew you'd be back (Be back)
And I have noticed you've had it hard
Even since the attack (Attack)
And I would take you up to the stars
If I knew you'd be back

[Interlude]
Middle-ay, middle-ay o
Middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay o
Middle-ay, middle-ay o
Middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay o
Middle-ay, middle-ay o
Middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay o
Middle-ay, middle-ay o
Middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay o
Middle-ay, middle-ay o
Middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay o
Middle-ay, middle-ay o
Middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay o
Middle-ay, middle-ay o
Middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay o
Middle-ay, middle-ay o
Middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay middle-ay o

[Outro]
And even though I know it's been hard
I could never go back

PART II

[Verse 1]
If everything were better
Then I'm sure I'd be
A little less emotional
I never really understood
What's wrong with me
Or why I'm unapproachable
But every time I close my eyes
You're lookin' quite like my mirror
I'm plagiarizing everything
Stuttering soliloquies
Who am I again? (Who are you again?)

[Verse 2]
Is this the storm before the calm?
Is it the clock, or just the ticking of the bomb?
We sacrifice what we both need
But if I fight for you, then how do we proceed?
And if you fight for me, then how do we proceed?
And if we fight again, then how do we proceed?

[Verse 3]
I've been building off of you
I've been texting on the freeway just to talk to you
And
I know you wouldn't want me to
But I know if any later, you won't follow through
Yeah
I've been building off of you
I've been texting on the freeway just to talk to you
And
I know you wouldn't want me to

PART III

[Verse 1]
So now I'm telling 'em
Do you understand?
Do you understand?
Do you understand?
'Cause right now, doesn't seem like you can

[Verse 2]
Start to climb, and then I get a little higher (Higher)
I'm a coward, it don't matter what I do (Higher)
From "I can't do it anymore" to "I can't do it, I can't do it"
Told myself I wanna die
So how am I supposed to prove it now?
Spend too many of my minutes getting higher (Higher)
I've attempted way too much to even count (Higher)
I've been committed, but committed to the people that I love
And if I try to love myself, I guess that I could live forever crying

[Chorus]
So don't cry for me
For I've found peace in the madness
Peace in the madness
Don't cry for me
For I've found peace in the madness
Peace in the madness
Again
Don't cry for me
For I've found peace in the madness
Peace in the madness
Don't cry for me
For I've found peace in the madness
Peace in the madness
For now

[Outro]
But on my last day out
Let me scream to God,
Family, friends, and enemies
"So what happens next?
Is this what you want?
All I am is dead to me"
So
I can't hear my voice at all
What was I to do?
Did I have a choice at all?
Seems I never do
You could try to help
Care is imprecise
All that I'd have left:
Pills and good advice
I could try to heal
Care is imprecise
All that you'd have left:
Pills and good advice
