Happy Little Pills

Put a little life in me if you think I’m worthy
Am I a fool for asking, or is it you not me?
When did I become so afraid of feeling something?
Or are you the one who’s afraid of facing feelings?
And what I’ve lost I’ll reclaim from my idling brain
Doctor tells me my brain synapses are not functioning
You say I need fixing
Maybe you’re not listening
You never really listen to me
All I need is empathy
These happy little pills are just neutralizing everything important to me
Makes me hate living
You say at least I’m not sad, and that that’s worth something
God, you seem so happy to not have to deal with me
But there’s a light I’m seeing, maybe God is speaking
Maybe I’m just dreaming, but maybe God is speaking
I want to live again
Your services are no longer needed
What can I see in my apathy?
It spreads like disease and takes over me
You never really listen to me
All I need is some empathy
