Pills

Stay Hard -David Goggins

Pills

You run, you run so far away

Take a pill with you as you go

I'll take two if I may

Pills that brighten the long day as I run through these purple hills

Sadness drifts apart, chemicals manipulate the heart

A thick barrier that blocks the struggle before it even starts

But forgive me, my sacred strengthened self

Let me hide from the crowns of reality in this dusty shelf

Happy false smile so bright

What brings your tortured mind so much delight?

Run.... run... run... run...

I glance around, eyes painted to the ground

Another voice speaks on my behalf so soothing

Another glance around, what the f**k am I doing?

Lightened hands, pill no longer at hand

I look behind me as my mind begins pacing

Failed to see the gray clouds with the hell that its raising

Time is up, time is now 

I apologize my strengthened self, 

would you kindly give me my motherfucking crown

The Lord has blessed me with a body and mind to withstand the storms coming

Let me suffer to drop these pills and I shall be the storm that is approaching

Born in flames, a battle to reclaim my true name

Pain... pain... pain...

Kill it all with resilience and gain

Composed in the freezing rain
