Time runs down a waterfall
Accelerating at 9.81 meters/sec^2
There is no point in jumping ahead
We are all going to the same place
So let's enjoy this waterfall
Together

I've been told to take a chill pill so much that I feel like an addict
It’s convinced me that a world with pills, is a world that can’t chill
Every person on this planet is on something or other...
It could be a friend, brother or lover
But there’s one thing I've learned
Take a chill pill is a term that’s all relative
It can describe many things, from
Anti-depressants to paracetamol and Ritalin,
It’s a pill to make you chill
When I first heard this term, I thought it meant a pill that would cool you down
And I thought what an amazing idea for summer! A single pill to make you cold...
So I started calling ice cubes chill pills.
Because I didn’t understand what the term really meant, I learned the hard way and got beat up a couple times
Apparently when someone says 'it’s so hot' and I laugh and say take a chill pill, that’s kind of a **** move...
But a swift punch to the side of the head isn’t...
Now let me ask you this
why take a chill pill when you can take a feel pill, something to make you feel real or a pill to make you sit still, a pill to make you concentrate and make people like you?
Is there a pill for people like me and you to get us through the day?
A pill that you could take that would make people stay
A pill that could make you run and jump with glee
a pill that makes everything sunny and happy a pill that can bring you money, a pill to make you funny, just a single pill to get us through the day
A single pill to make everything okay.
Because in a population with pills how could people chill when there’s already a pill which can drive someone to ****
Is there a pill that can make me feel normal, a pill to make me cute?
A pill that I can take which could get me to you..?
If I could make a pill, just to make someone chill I would sell so much that I wouldn't need to care or feel
That would a pill to make me jump with glee,
that would be a pill to make my life sunny,
that would be a pill to get me through the day, and after that I wouldn’t have to take it anyway.
I've been told to take a chill pill so much I feel like an addict,
But in a world with pills, how could we chill?
