Lyrics
Oh doctor doctor - give me the little pill
To take the edge off of this life and free me of this ill Inside this capsule, filled with bright colors
Now dance around my head, to ease me of the dread
I've read the books,
I've done the work
Still heavy leans against my heart
And breath won't come
Do you see me, am I still here?
I'll submit and drink the tears
Still this storm
Let's draw a circle, let's step inside
We'll whisper softly talk of things we used to hide
It's all illusion, a slight of hand
A way to get from here to there and back again.
I've read the books,
I've done the work
Still heavy leans against my heart
And breath won't come
Do you see me, am I still here?
I'll submit and drink the tears
Still this storm
INSTRUMENTAL
I've read the books,
I've done the work
Still heavy leans against my heart
And breath won't come
Do you see me, am I still here?
I'll submit and drink the tears
Still this storm
He's lost his body, she's lost her mind
And here I sit now all alone just marking time
The destination, a point unknown
It's dejavu, a dream I've dreamed
This life's on loan
I've read the books,
I've done the work
Still heavy leans against my heart
And breath won't come
Do you see me, am I still here?
I'll submit and drink the tears
Still this storm
Oh doctor, doctor....give me the little pill
