All the lines on the table are squirming like insects

Let's lean down and inhale them and let them decide for us

Let them writhe in us

Let them feast on whatever they find

I've been told to cope!

I've been told to cope!

You should try therapy, try getting out of the house

Change your sleep schedule, try working out

Try to schedule a doctor’s appointment

The pills they prescribe you could really help out

You should try mixing those pills with some whiskey

You should try harming yourself just to feel some control

You should lock all of the doors in your house

Tell your friends to fuck off cause you’re trying to cope

Take, take, take, take, take, take, take

What you get, get, get, get, get, get

Take, take, take, take, take, take, take

What you get, get, get, get, get, get

Take, take, take, take, take, take, take (Take what you get!)

What you get, get, get, get, get, get

Take, take, take, take, take, take, take (Take what you get!)

What you get, get, get, get, get, get

All the talking, all the effort

Nothing worked, nothing's better

All the pills, all the liquor meant to close my wounds tore them open and left me for dead

It's hard to swallow and it never ends

Full up on medicine but always on empty

It’s always fighting and it always wins

I've given up but it's relentlessly kicking

I've been told to cope!

I've been told to cope!

Take, take, take, take, take, take, take

What you get, get, get, get, get, get

Take, take, take, take, take, take, take

What you get, get, get, get, get, get

Take, take, take, take, take, take, take (Take what you get!)

What you get, get, get, get, get, get

Take, take, take, take, take, take, take

What you get, get, get, get, get, get

It's hard to swallow and it never ends

We've exhausted our options, took advice that was offered

Meditated, medicated, chemically altered our heads

It's always fighting and it always wins

We’re sedated at best

Why try to deal with emotion when you can remove it and trade it for rest?
