Benzodiazepines (Explicit)

Tiny white moons in a plastic sky

Stamped little names I can’t quite say

Doctor says

“kid

You’ll be fine”

Slide under my tongue

Fade the day

Benzodiazepines

Turn the panic down to a hum

Slow the shaking in my seams

Make the wild thoughts finally come undone

You promise me some sleep

You promise me some peace

Benzodiazepines

You giveth and you slowly take the reins from me

Half-life ghosts in my blood at dawn

Red eyes reading warnings on the sheet

“Don’t mix this

Don’t miss this

Don’t stay on”

I trade my worries for a cushion on the seat

Benzodiazepines

Turn the panic down to a hum

Slow the shaking in my seams

Make the wild thoughts finally come undone

You promise me some sleep

You promise me some peace

Benzodiazepines

You giveth and you slowly take the reins from me

Are you my crutch or a quiet thief? (yeah)

Little blue keys to a borrowed relief

One more refill

One more week

Chasing calm while my colors turn weak

Benzodiazepines

Turn the panic down to a hum

Slow the shaking in my seams

Make the wild thoughts finally come undone

You promise me some sleep

You promise me some peace

Benzodiazepines

You giveth and you slowly take the reins from me (from me)
