[Verse 1]
I'm a cold, dark night
On a summer's day
I'm a black disease
That won't go away
Low, baby; low, baby
Lower you'll be takin' me
And for all it's worth
My pain will eat your misery
Oh, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Swallow me like poison
Back down, turn around
Double down breaking me
Run-down ghost town
Pain will eat your misery
Doctor's orders
Fist, ball, and chain

[Chorus]
Blood clot, ego shot, mentally ill
Bitter pill
High wire, hot fire, get some thrills
Bitter pill
Open up wide, take the bitter pill
Bitter pill
Open up wide and swallow
[Verse 2]
Let the pieces fall
Where the bodies lay
Where the dreams will break
Come what may
How it goes, how it goes
Did everybody get a taste?
And for all it's worth
The ending is an awful waste
Yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Swallow me like poison
Back down, turn around
Double down breaking me
Run-down ghost town
Pain will eat your misery
Doctor's orders
Fist, ball, and chain
Doctor's orders
Feel the pain

[Refrain]
Hey

[Bridge]
I know where the cold wind blows
Fan the heart, set it afire
To die in the coldest snow
With the chill that just won't go away
Roarin' like a lion, dyin' like a lamb
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Won't go away
Roarin' like a lion
Can't get out of the goddamn way
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Blood clot, ego shot, mentally ill
Bitter pill
High wire, hot fire, get some thrills
Bitter pill
Open up wide, take the bitter pill
Bitter pill
Open up wide and swallow

Blood clot, ego shot, mentally ill
Bitter pill
High wire, hot fire, get some thrills
Bitter pill
Open up wide, take the bitter pill
Bitter pill

[Outro]
Open and swallow
The cold, bitter pill
