Pill Me Pretty

Verse 1
They gave me colors in a paper cup
Told me I’d feel better if I just gave up
Now I watch the ceiling move in slow ballet
While my thoughts dissolve and drift away

Pre-Chorus
I don’t dream — just static snow
I smile on cue and nod real slow

Chorus
Pill me pretty, paint me bland
Tell me who I am again
I don’t shake, I don’t scream
I’m just one more silent machine

⸻

Verse 2
They write my name with trembling ink
Adjust the dose so I forget to think
The mirror grins — a medicated ghost
No highs, no lows, just empty toast

Pre-Chorus
I miss the chaos, I miss the burn
But numb is easier than hurt returned

Chorus
Pill me pretty, shut me down
Dress my thoughts in hospital gowns
Make me soft, make me sane
Bleed the fight out of my brain

⸻

Bridge (haunting, stripped back — maybe lo-fi voice filter)

“Do you feel better now?”
“No.”
“But you look better.”
(beat)
“Then that’s enough.”

⸻

Final Chorus (layered with more emotion, breaking down subtly)
Pill me pretty, cage me well
Smile for the cameras inside this hell
I don’t fight, I don’t try
Just watch the clouds go crawling by

Slow grunge ballad with haunting mood. Numbness, meds, and fading thoughts. Soft vocals that slowly unravel.
