Counting to sleep
I took a sleeping pill
Just one of them I swear
Then took another one
Because the voice did dare
The third it came quite easy
The fourth was hard to swallow
By the fifth and sixth one
I was living in the shallow
Seven felt quite lonely
And eight just tagged along
By the nine and tenth
I wasn�t very strong
I had this funny feeling
And silence came around
Pushed me softly gently
On the calling ground
My body went quite limp
My smile finally back in place
My eyes began to close
And drift inside this space
I didn�t hear her voice
Or the banging of my door
I didn�t hear a thing
Except the lulling of the floor
I took a little nap
While two strangers touched my skin
I didn�t feel the needles
I was so far down within
I woke up in the night
Found my body in this bed
And everything was quiet
Even that voice inside my head
It�s a secret never told
I couldn�t look her in the face
I was full of guilt and shame
And filled with such disgrace
Sometimes in the night
When I am lying silent and still
I dream about 11
Of those lovely little pills |
