[Verse 1]
Always tired all the time
Crawling up this steep incline
This body aches, with familiar shakes
Of a sickness benign

My eyes will quiver in my head
And my breath runs hot with words unsaid
And my stomach turns, when I learn
About everything you do instead

[Chorus]
Take a pill, down a shot of hope
Attempt to find another way to help me cope
And I'm always prone to being alone
And I'm falling down this slope

[Verse 2]
Cold sweats in the dead of night
Illuminated truths in the pale moonlight
Of secrets spread from his bed
Of sickness and insight

But my eyes quiver with some hidden dread
My breath runs hot with words unsaid
And my stomach turns, when will I learn
That everything you always do is all in my head

[Chorus]
Take a pill, down a shot of hope
Attempt to find another way to help me cope
And I'm always prone to being alone
And I'm falling down this slope

I'll never be the person that you want me to be
You'll always be swimming in someone else's sea
But if the time's alright, and you're lonely tonight
I can tell you what it's like to be empty

[Bridge]
This headache will not go away
Rational thought is lead astray

This fever courses through my brain
Makes tough the tasks of the mundane
And as I suffer I begin to see
There's never a refrain

[Chorus]
Take a pill, down a shot of hope
Attempt to find another way to help me cope
And I'm always prone to being alone
And I'm falling down this slope

I'll never be the person that you want me to be
You'll always be swimming in someone else's sea
But if the time's alright, and you're lonely tonight
I can tell you what it's like to be empty
