about

Actually written around the time of the pandemic. When you get to that age where you are swallowing pills and taking shots just to stay alive.

lyrics

I know ever since I was a young boy
There was always this feelings
That I couldn’t just make go away
How come, when I tried to just approach it
It was met with such distain
I would told to just walk it off
But now, there are piles of medications
Given to all the masses
Does this help or just make me numb
Have feels? You can just adjust the dosage
Does this make me compliant?
Or a person who’s wires got crossed

Take this drug
become Superman
Chemicals
make me greater than
But then now
here’s the side effects
Become numb
now you are my pet
Take this shot
I’m invincible
Doesn’t fix
that your an imbecile
Wonder pills
help the self control
Can’t fix dumb
slip into your role

I know if I don’t just friggin take them
I will just be a zombie
Filing in for the walking dead

But then I just feel the same emotions
They say it’s a game changer
But how come I feel in last place?

I know All I want is just a balance
Keeping me right on the beam
So I don’t just tumble off

Take this drug
become Superman
Chemicals
make me greater than
But then now
here’s the side effects
Become numb
now you are my pet
Take this shot
I’m invincible
Doesn’t fix
that your an imbecile
Wonder pills
help the self control
Can’t fix dumb
slip into your role
