[Verse] Grabbing darkness from the shelf echoes in the mind Bitter taste on the tongue pills of every kind Shadows scream in silent rage memories I can't find Hands shake feelin' cold how'd I leave this behind [Verse 2] Nightmare whispers in my ear clock strikes twelve thirty-four Gotta take a breath break the chains crawlin' on the floor Flashes of forgotten wars battles fought alone Rain of medicine fallin' hard the unknown's home [Chorus] Take the pills break the chains metal heart refrain Lost in dreams midnight screams try to stay sane Shadowed mind chemical bind lock it with pain Blood and wires tangled tight medicine in vain [Verse 3] Glass of water bitter cold through my veins it flows Promised cure always ask what the hell it knows Mirror shows a haunted face lines deep as craters Every pill a ghost I swallow it now or later [Bridge] Steel gears grind the midnight oil in my head Rusty thoughts forgotten dreams memories of lead Can't remember the truth my medication song Echoes bounce off metal walls where did it go wrong [Chorus] Take the pills break the chains metal heart refrain Lost in dreams midnight screams try to stay sane Shadowed mind chemical bind lock it with pain Blood and wires tangled tight medicine in vain
