Giving Up

Cast in concrete, dragging me down Poured and shaped, anchored to the ground Drowning the ache just to get through the day Chemical shackles locked tight in my veins The doctors say heal, but they don't understand It's not something you can heal with medicine Can’t find a fight for this synthetic bane Walls closing in, my hands start to shake Somehow I worked myself deep into this rut I don’t know how but these pills aren’t working enough I need some help cause I feel like giving up Collapsing inside but the world says “toughen up” These thoughts won’t leave, they just swallow me whole If this is living then I’m losing control Counting the nights that I clawed through the pain Praying for solace to bury the shame But every pill’s just a lock on the door I’m trapped in a cell I can’t fight anymore Fight anymore Break me down You'll never fix what you refuse to believe Tear me out This disease inside is what's killing me Spit it out Your empty words only raise doubt Burn it down If life's a war, I should surrender now Somehow I worked myself deep into this rut I don’t know how but these pills aren’t working enough I need some help cause I feel like giving up Collapsing inside but the world says “toughen up” These thoughts won’t leave, they just swallow me whole If this is living then I’m losing control These pills aren't enough These pills aren't enough These pills aren't enough When will it be enough
