PILLS
Bastardz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or should I take a great deal of it
Some say I should take it even though it's black
Some say I should face it, I'm a walking wreck
Havin' lots of money, can't bring me cure
Havin' lots of some say, keep me insecure
When I lay my head on the pillow
On a cold winter night
And stop shaking minute after
Minute after days without light
Pills, thrills, chills, feed me my
Pills, thrills, chills, feed me my pills
Some say I must stop, messing with my pains
Some say it's easy, (but) I can't break the chains
I wish that I could find the easy way out
I wish that I could go all the way down
And I want something to ease the pain
When I drown myself in sorrow
On a hot summer day
And stop shaing minute after
Minute after nights of sheer gray
I have something to keep the pain
When I finally rise above
The shit every now and then
And stop shaing minute after
Minute after I do it again
