[Verse 1]

We'll keep calm and carry on

With good intentions

They'll prescribe the rights and wrongs

Until we're perfect

So maybe one day we'll be safe

In control and full of grace

Never making a mistake

So flawless

[Verse 2]

Cut us deeper to the core

We won't feel a thing

Imperfections we ignore

Embracing difference

I wish this wasn't all so hard

To be yourself and not on guard

To stop the racing in your heart

We'll fight it

[Chorus]

Put me under

Now I'm powerless

I'll take it all [x2]

I'll take it

I can't breathe without you

You won't trust me

I won't trust you too

You bring me back [x2]

You bring me

Medicate me

[Verse 3]

Hide me deeper in my shell

Until I'm all alone

I'm hearing voices in this cell

Hallucinating

I could have sworn I heard it too

A sad and beautiful adieu

It's telling me what I should do

I follow

[Chorus]

Put me under

Now I'm powerless

I'll take it all [x2]

I'll take it

I can't breathe without you

You won't trust me

I won't trust you too

You bring me back [x2]

You bring me

Medicate me now

[Bridge]

As I'm turning into this reflection

You control me

My body and my mind

My emotions and my pride

The simplest things became the hardest part now

The easiest parts have taken all my dreams

I'm afraid

I'll never be okay

I'm afraid

I'm scared I can't be happy

I'm afraid

This silence of fear is not a way to be sincere (I'm afraid)

And it's a way to cope

A way to deal (I'm scared I can't be happy)

But not for me when I can't feel (I'm afraid)

The subtleties that make me want to (I'll never be okay)

Be alive and not a statue (I'm afraid)

Breathe the air

Be here to talk to (I'm scared I can't be happy)

I'm afraid (I'll never be the same)
