A Bitter Pill to Swallow

A Bitter Pill to Swallow

You (expletive) and moan about the hand you’re dealt

Say you’re cutting off all the things you’ve ever felt

You fail to realize the hand that dealt was your own

So get your head out that zone, because your cover is blown

No more reasons or excuses not to start a new milestone

Because the hardest thing to do sometimes is accept our own fault

I’m only saying this because I’ve been there before

And I know it’s hard to swallow

All the pills inside that bottle

Just so you can sit and wallow

Living for today and never thinking about tomorrow

But you’re my brother and the things you do bring me sorrow

So here all my life lessons for you to borrow

January Blues

We promised ourselves we’d do better this year

No more running, we were gonna tackle our fears

But here we are, trying to hold back our tears

Our minds are damaged, our skin is bruised

It seems like we’ve fallen into the January blues

We told ourselves as the ball began to drop

We would reinvent ourselves and become a new crop

And now we find ourselves lonely on the chopping block

We have fallen so far when we were once on top

And now these pains are left permanent, like we’re covered in tattoos

It seems like we’ve fallen into the January Blues

Given up on luck, no more throwing horseshoes

We’re left broken, from all the overuse

And now we’re laying and wasting, with nothing left to lose

It seems like we’ve fallen into the January Blues
