about

You're on your own with this one.

But I do plan to go back and change the electric guitar sound, which I'm not happy with.

lyrics

PROZAC LULLABY

I woke up tonight
shotgun in my head
And I said to the clock
When’s it gonna stop?
And the clock said to me
When I turned away
It stops when you listen
It stops when you say

Don’t let me sleep any longer

I hear other places
Since I was eight or nine
the curses coming down
the mercy just in time
I see the ones who try to help us
From the other side
They've got their hands tied

And every grave has something
that hangs above the ground
every heart that bruises
turning yellow, blue and brown
But who would ever know
How could they know
with all the red ones still around?

Don’t let me sleep any longer

Mr. Pill
Mr. Peace
Mr. Merciful Potion
no you don't kill the pain
you just kill the emotion
and under your spell
there is something so broken
and I
can't
sleep

I woke up tonight
shotgun in my head
And I said to the clock
When’s it gonna stop?
And the clock said to me
When I turned away
It stops when you listen
It stops when you say

Don’t let me sleep any longer
