[Intro]
Pills scattered on the bathroom floor
Prescriptions don't work anymore
Doc, I think I need something more
These demons keep banging at my door
[Verse 1]
White tablets, they call it medicine
But I call it my only friend
Refills got me living pretend
Brain chemistry they try to mend
Xanny got me floating away
Zoloft dancing through my veins
Studio lights start to sway
Lost in this prescription haze
[Chorus]
Beautiful poison in my system
Can't tell if I'm sick or just missing
Something real, something true
These pills got me thinking 'bout you
Beautiful poison, what's the cost?
In this fog, I might get lost
But I keep popping 'til I'm numb
'Cause reality's too f*cking dumb
[Verse 2]
Manchester nights, cold and grey
Pharmacy bag, what can I say?
They write scripts like they're giving away
Pieces of peace for another day
In the booth, I'm spitting truth
While these meds are killing my youth
But f*ck it though, I'm used to the blues
Chemical love's all I can choose
[Outro]
Beautiful poison in my veins
Beautiful poison keeps me sane
Beautiful poison's all I know
Beautiful poison won't let go
