31 Pills

Chris T-T
Here is a jar with 31 pills
30 of them are just powder
But the 31st pill is a poison thing
and the jar is there for when the music can't get louder
(Hey!)
Here are the words of a blinkered mind
hearing without understanding
ripped up and out by the roots
and floating around
with no thoughts of landing
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Here is a jar with 17 pills
16 of them are placebo
But the 17th pill is a poison thing
and the jar weighs less every time
there is nowhere else to go
(Ahh!)
