Pills and Pain

[Intro]
Oh the weight of this heart, heavy like a stone
Each morning I rise, alone in this moan

[Verse 1]
I can hardly move, the back's gone and bent
Every part of my body, feels like a torment
Oxycodone in hand, I swallow it down
But this hollow ache's got me, I’m lost in this town

[Chorus]
Oh these pills and pain, they dance in my mind
Choosing between a fix, and feeling confined
Back like a cage, it grips and won’t let go
I’ve run from the ghosts, but now they just grow

[Verse 2]
Staring at the ceiling, through blurry red haze
I swore I was free, but I’m chained in this maze
Waking up broken, morning's cruel embrace
First Oxycodon hits, just to cover my face

[Bridge]
And oh how I tremble, the addiction creeps in
A fight with the shadows, as darkness begins
Forty years gone, I thought I was done
But this dance with the devil's far from just fun

[Chorus]
Oh these pills and pain, they dance in my mind
Choosing between a fix, and feeling confined
I thought I was stronger, but this back takes a toll
At the crossroads of comfort and losing control

[Verse 3]
So I sit here and ponder, what tomorrow will bring
Will I drown in the silence, or learn how to sing?
It's a battle for freedom, a slow march of time
But the pain whispers songs, and they’ll all be my rhyme

[Outro]
Oh the weight of this heart, heavy like a stone
Pills and the pain, forever my own
I choose to keep fighting, to stand once again
I’ll dance with this blues, till I find peace again
