Better Pill Lyrics

She looks calm and maybe flattered,

Nonchalant with her striped dress, falling off her shoulder

Is it her son or her brother

Is she a mother

The baby looks ahead

And she looks down

She looks down

A star in the center of his forehead

And sparkles on his chest, the leather battle suit

A small beast behind him ready to patrol

He's in control

Of this desolate place

Is this now

Is this now

It's a bitter pill to swallow

Aching in my throat

Is there a better pill to swallow

The aching in my throat

Sweet familiar face, pink blotchy skin

Make up under her eyes fell away with her tears

Green walls and purple curtain from the baby's bath,

She'll pave her own path

Just throw that dress away

Forget that day

Forget that day

It's a bitter pill to swallow

Aching in my throat

There's no better pill to swallow

The aching in my throat

Will it be a bed of roses

Will it be a bed of dread

There's no better pill to swallow

The aching in my throat

And even so lavender

In the backseat rosemary

Dahlias by the dashboard
