Happy Pills - Candlebox

Sometimes you wake to see yourself

Take happier pills to keep you well

And sometimes you talk to hear yourself

Screamin' out loud

Never ever heard a word you said

Can’t you see yourself, can’t you understand?

There’s more truth in the way, in the way that you lie

But you take a stab at all that’s surrounding your mind

Can’t you sweep this shit to the side?

Well, it’s so fucking nice to have you here

To turn our lives from what we fear

But sometimes you’re worthless and weak and alone

Will you ever grow?

Here I am I want to help you out

Can’t you see yourself, can’t you understand?

There’s more truth in the way, in the way that you lie

So you take a stab at all that’s surrounding your mind

And you won’t believe when this cloud lifts, oh what you might find

You’ll find it’s all over

Can’t you see it’s all over this face that stares back at you?

Stares back at you, from these happy pills

They won’t keep you well tonight

(I'll be here to watch you shudder, I’ll be the one that holds you under)

(Every time you try to shift it)

There’s more truth in the way, in the way that you lie

(Every time your stitch is slipping, slipping through time)

So you take a stab at all that’s surrounding your mind

Yet, you won’t believe when this cloud lifts, oh what you might find

Got it all over you now

(Got it all over you)

Got it all over you now

(Got it all over you)

Got it all over this face that

Stares back from these happy pills

They won’t keep you well tonight

Not tonight, no no
