Pill Popping

from Jack but Jill by Pyrophoria

/

lyrics

Don’t do drugs kids they’re for me
Hand those over I get them for free
My mom always told me to be
More than what the eye can see
A pill popper show stopper was she
This the white trash Grand Prix
She liked up daddy like down
I like to mix it up and hit the ground
Children it’s called a mental breakdown
Go back to the playground
My frown turns inside down
No pill for the pain the pain is renowned
It’s a shit show all around
No the pain gives me solid ground
A handful of sugar pills turned me around

Don’t need a pill for the pain
Pills are for the plain
I am numb all the same
I’ve hurt so long I forgot my name
So in a way I overcame

I don’t need a drug I need a hug
They shrug
I’ll take yours though in accord though
I extort those who ignore those
Like me
Who are high for free
Pill popping Jill; bipolar as can be
Says the crowd with a squee
I spat that shit out of me
I am a drug I am a god I am free
There’s no pill for the pain when I am the main
And I am the flame
and I am the same
and I am insane
for the whole game
they try to keep me tame
But I am to blame
Jagged Jill is put to shame
Hurt me again she stops to proclaim
Manic manic manic hall of fame
Mirror cannot claim
Laugh was shrill; the world is mundane
She crawled out of her picture frame
I am a girl with a name
I don’t know who I became

Don’t need a pill for the pain
Pills are for the plain
I am numb all the same
I’ve hurt so long I forgot my name
So in a way I overcame

I’m the drug that scares you blind
I’m out of my mind
I spat out every pill they assigned
I threw out every other self I could find
Come inside, I’ll remind
That I’m not of human kind
I hope you don’t mind
Motion denied
I am aligned
With an object designed
To self-destruct in time
I’m not fine
I’m defined
Disinclined
I get behind
The side of me unconfined
And run with it though undefined
