BITTER PILL
Lyrics: Z. Mulls
Music: Ray Sharp
(v1)
A thousand evenings sitting in the dark
An ache in your applauding arms
Did those dormant demons jolt awake
Did they sound the old alarms
The milk of human kindness
Curdles in your veins
When the curtain falls, the blindness
Is all that remains
(chorus)
It's been a while
Since you felt so infantile
And are you still
Living in denial
It's been a while
Since you coughed up so much bile
Does it make you ill
To choke down such a bitter pill?
(v2)
Take a breath and slowly count to ten
Take a step back from the railing
It's the sweet smell of success again
That you can't help inhaling
Your heart is in the gutter
Your soul is in disgrace
And every word you utter
Has a rancid taste
(repeat chorus)
It's been a while, etc......
(bridge)
There was a moment of truth
And you slept right through it
Woke up and said, screw it
Now your mind is clearer
Destiny waving in your rear-view mirror
(v3)
Put your cigarette out in the grass
Pop a mint and come back inside
Line up with the others in your class
Wait your turn to kiss the bride
You practice being cheerful
While everyone's engrossed
Giving them an earful
Of someone else's toast
(repeat chorus)
It's been a while, etc....

Thanks, guys.
AJ, this is an older lyric. I was looking it over when thinking of possible revisions and noticed that it's *another" rear-view mirror image (remember the snowman). I'm going to have to stop using that now!
