Your skin is pale, your system’s weak
You sit around all day, but get no sleep
No appetite, just caffeine and cigs
Still wondering why, you’re always so stressed
Quick fix – take a pill
Pop some more – feeling ill
Side effects – different dose
Empty bottle – coming close
Your veins are like sewers, more toxins than Exxon
Your brain’s in a haze and your energy’s far gone
You shiver, then sweat....Pull out the prescriptions
Side effects; of side effects, of self medication.
Quick fix – take a pill
Pop some more – feeling ill
Coming down – different dose
Empty bottle – coming close
Nausea, insomnia, sexual dysfunction
Fever, chest pain, loss of coordination
Fatigue and agitation, unexplained swelling
Tremors and hair loss, uncontrolled aggression
Coma, blindness, worsening of depression
These side effects are killing you
Cut the medication
quick fix - take a pill
pop some more - feeling ill
side effects - different dose
empty bottle - OVERDOSE
