[Verse 1]

I'm a cold, dark night

On a summer's day

I'm a black disease

That won't go away

Low, baby; low, baby

Lower you'll be takin' me

And for all it's worth

My pain will eat your misery

Oh, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

Swallow me like poison

Back down, turn around

Double down breaking me

Run-down ghost town

Pain will eat your misery

Doctor's orders

Fist, ball, and chain

[Chorus]

Blood clot, ego shot, mentally ill

Bitter pill

High wire, hot fire, get some thrills

Bitter pill

Open up wide, take the bitter pill

Bitter pill

Open up wide and swallow

[Verse 2]

Let the pieces fall

Where the bodies lay

Where the dreams will break

Come what may

How it goes, how it goes

Did everybody get a taste?

And for all it's worth

The ending is an awful waste

Yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

Swallow me like poison

Back down, turn around

Double down breaking me

Run-down ghost town

Pain will eat your misery

Doctor's orders

Fist, ball, and chain

Doctor's orders

Feel the pain

[Refrain]

Hey

[Bridge]

I know where the cold wind blows

Fan the heart, set it afire

To die in the coldest snow

With the chill that just won't go away

Roarin' like a lion, dyin' like a lamb

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

Won't go away

Roarin' like a lion

Can't get out of the goddamn way

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Blood clot, ego shot, mentally ill

Bitter pill

High wire, hot fire, get some thrills

Bitter pill

Open up wide, take the bitter pill

Bitter pill

Open up wide and swallow

Blood clot, ego shot, mentally ill

Bitter pill

High wire, hot fire, get some thrills

Bitter pill

Open up wide, take the bitter pill

Bitter pill

[Outro]

Open and swallow

The cold, bitter pill
