Default Pills Steal my Ecstatic Delusions

I hate the title. I hate some medicine. It's really long too, i'm sorry about that.

Pills Steal my Ecstatic Delusions

I’ve turned into a pumpkin
It’s way past midnight
It’s time to go home he says to me
I’m laughing like a jester
I’m much too preoccupied about dancing a tango
I’ve never done so, but I know I can
At least inside the world within my head

I’m whirling round and round
My feet don’t touch the ground
I’m off to Margaritaville
I can’t get there fast enough
Set me up with another Sex on the Beach shooter
I’m from this seaside town I say as I grin
The bartender looks at me curiously, then winks
As he sets it on the bar I swig it down and I order one more

Dazzling me
I am perceptive, I am sharp, I am effervescent, and I hear God’s songs
As you look at me in despair, casually looking at your watch
I’m the laughter in your tears

I’m out of control again,
flying as high as the fireworks on the 4th of July
I’m as brilliant as their colors
I can’t get enough of this rush in my veins

The lights come up
It’s time to go
I beg the bartender for one more round
And he says no
I slash him with my idioms and pull his tip off the rail
I turn on my heels and we’re out the door

The night’s still young, my head can’t decelerate
I’m thinking faster and faster, jumbled and disorganized
You tell me we must go home
Entire petulance

I say I want to drive the car like a rocket
I am soaring; don’t end the party in my mind
I want to build a bonfire on the beach and watch the sun come up
You once again persuade me with your gentleness
And usher me into the car

Now the of the party is gone
I’m screaming at you from the top of my lungs
I’ve changed gears,
There’s no animation, no contagious smiles to be found
As gross irritability sets in
I bang my fits against the dashboard’s glow
I’m out of charm as it would seem
You didn’t realize I’d be the worst nightmare that you’ve ever dreamed.

The sun upon my face
Brings back yesterdays gone
The breeze blows through my tangled life
How did I end up here?

There are no seasons anymore
They just melt into long days of contempt

They say I’m looking better
I think they just pretend
Smile at the girl with the disheveled hair
Placate her, before she loses her mind again
Chances are they’re gonna find me in the dark

The pills, they kill all my light
I miss the extraordinary view from the top
How I miss that feeling of ease
It’s the manic depression that’s robbing me
Sweet misery, I do think I have finally found you

I’m starving for that feeling
The colossal high
Give me a pair of wings
Just for a day
So I can fly
I don’t care about the price anymore

Somebody tell me this is all a wicked nightmare
Wake me up, am I dreaming?
Give me just one ray of sunlight
Instead of constant hurricanes
Stop the rain; please end all of the pain.
