I took a pill from a bottle
I remembered I once took them all
I nearly died
I was waiting for something, for something to die

I took a pill to be calm
To be in control
To not have these lucid thoughts
Of pain, of loss and of death

But everything is fine
It is, it is fine

I took a pill that lets me know
That I know nothing's happened yet
It makes me not afraid
It makes me not afraid

But everything is good
It is, it is good

I don't know if I can still take a pill
I might drink them all again, quietly
So that when tragedy strikes and you are gone
I can be with you.

So for now, I'll just take one.
I'll take one to bear another day.
I'll take one.
I'll take one for you.

But everything is okay.
It is, it is okay.
