• My chest tightens
    My fists clench
    I can't breathe
    I'm crying, or so I think
    I try to scream
    No one hears
    All there is
    Is a million fears

    I shake like mad
    They tie me down
    They shoot me up
    They won't let me frown
    You're crazy, they say
    As they ruin my day
    I can't run, I can't hide
    This pill is my only desire inside

    It hurts
    It loves
    It kills
    It saves
    It drugs
    It mugs
    It sends
    Millions of bugs
    Down your spine
    In a line
    Chewing away
    To the flesh

    It's my sanctuary
    It's my heroine
    It's my enemy
    It's my friend
    It makes me happy
    It makes me scream
    The single pill
    You can't dream
    There is only nightmares
    You can't cry
    There are no tears.

    Yes, I say
    I'll do it your way
    Just please let me go
    I'm done with this show
    I'm done with the shaking
    I'm done with the screaming
    I'm done with the hurting

    I throw the bottle down
    A thousand memories
    A thousand fights
    They all go away
    They all go out of sight

    The war is over
    In my mind
    Please don't make me go
    Back behind
    A shield of decievment
    Your worst enemy
    Your best friend
    Lithium
    Oh, lithium

    Be my forever-lasting addiction.
