Swallow, Be Normal
Swallow these pills you’ll feel better
Prozac, zoloft, seroquel, hydroxyzine, pills pills pills
Take it, swallow it with your saliva and let it dissolve in your stomach acid
Somehow the chemicals will make you like everyone else
“I took pills to kill myself why am I taking them to make me better”
Because dying is an illness
“But I thought this was natural”
No, your brain doesn’t work right, you don’t work right
I DON’T FOLLOW THE MACHINE THE INPUT THE OUTPUT
Fuck you’re right, how can I follow the machine of this country
When I want to die.
