My second [1.8.15]
Around and around and around in my head. They beg “please take the pill” but I’d rather be dead. Swing up and swing down as I lay in my bed - suffocating beneath the elephant on my chest.
They say we’ve all had it and they know how it feels to wake up and break down; they know how life steals the breathe from your two lungs and steps from your feet.
It’ll beat you and bruise you ‘till you claim defeat.
Around and around and around in my head. They beg “please the the pill” but I’d rather be dead. Swing up and swing down as I lay in my bed - suffocating beneath the elephant on my chest.
“Just hang in there honey, you can do this - we know. We’ve seen you pull through it 3 full times, now 4.”
But what you don’t see it I’ll never be well.
I’ll just live in a heartache and wake up in hell.
Around and around and around in my head. They beg “please take the pill” but I’d rather be dead. Swing up and swing down as I lay in my bed - suffocating beneath the elephant on my chest.
Finally I’m gone now, it looks like they see.
My pain has been dealt with - have mercy on me.
The waking and breaking has come to an end. The heartache washed over, no more money needs spent - on relieving the fire I walked on all day.
My soul is free now, no more must I pay.
Around and around and around in my head. They beg “please take the pill” but I’d rather be dead. Swing up and swing down as I lay in my bed - suffocating beneath the elephant on my chest.
