They said they were safe. <br />That you wouldn't die. <br />They said they were safe. <br />But that was a lie. <br />- <br />Grab that bottle of Valium. <br />Pop those little pills. <br />Fall into the darkness. <br />And pay those stupid bills. <br /> <br />Forget about the money. <br />Doesnt matter anymore. <br />Swallow the whole bottle. <br />Make your throat red and sore. <br /> <br />Give up your own future. <br />Won't make it to that day. <br />Lose yourself in darkness. <br />And suffer the price to pay. <br /> <br />Reach into the cabinet. <br />Pour out five plus three. <br />Choke them down with water. <br />And make yourself O.D. <br /> <br />Lay down in your casket. <br />With your medicine chest. <br />Hold that pretty rose. <br />And forever may you rest. <br />- <br />They said they were safe. <br />That you wouldn't die. <br />They said they were safe. <br />But that was a lie.<br /><br />Silence Dogood<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/medicine-chest/
