[Verse 1] The bottle’s on the bedside stand Little white pills shaking in my hand You say they’ll help, you say I’m fine But I know better than your lines Your love feels like a twisted game A whispered promise, soaked in blame And I’m too tired to break away So I just medicate the pain [Pre-Chorus] I swallow silence with the pills Try to forget the way this kills But the mirror never lies I’m barely holding, dead inside [Chorus] Swallow the lie, down it goes Numb my heart, nobody knows You say it’s love, but love’s not this A chemical bandage I can’t resist I’m drowning slow, but I comply Close my eyes and swallow the lie [Verse 2] The house is quiet, but it screams Your words replay inside my dreams You say I’m crazy, weak, and small But I’ve been broken through it all The meds just blur, they never cure I’m still the ghost you can’t endure You patch me up, but keep me sick A twisted love, a dirty trick [Pre-Chorus] I chase the calm, but it won’t stay Another pill to fade away But deep inside, the truth is loud You only love me when I’m down [Chorus] Swallow the lie, down it goes Numb my heart, nobody knows You say it’s love, but love’s not this A chemical bandage I can’t resist I’m drowning slow, but I comply Close my eyes and swallow the lie [Bridge] (Soft, whispered, raw) Maybe one day I’ll break the chain Find the strength to feel the pain But for tonight, I’ll play along Pretend I’m fine, pretend I’m strong [Final Chorus – Broken, vulnerable) Swallow the lie, down it goes Hide the cracks nobody shows Your love and meds, they taste the same Both numb my soul, both feed the blame I’m drowning slow, but I comply One more time… I swallow the lie
