“prescription pills” was written about intrusive thoughts that alkyl has had in the past. While he hasn’t actually abused prescription medication, he portrays it by using the example of a girl who finds prescription pills in the back of her cabinet.
Fuck
[Chorus]
Prescription pills from the back of the cabinet
Nothings ever felt the same
I prolly should've abstained, fuck
In too deep, and forming a habit
Feeling nothing, except pain
At least I'm feeling something
[Verse]
Low self-esteem
Causing problems
No self-belief
Embarrassing
Situations
They never cease
But that's ok
Cause I know they love me anyway
Pop a few every hour of every single day
I've never felt this love
Not evеn from the m— above
But this shit's starting' get tragic
I rippеd my teeth and hair out
Man, this shit went and lost all its magic
[Pre-Chorus]
She feels lost in the world
She never thought the — would fuck her up
And make her — her mind
Your mine now
Don't act phased bitch
[Chorus]
Prescription pills from the back of the cabinet
Nothings ever felt the same
I really shoulda stayed away
In too deep, and stuck in a habit
Feeling nothing, except pain
At least I'm feeling something
FUCK
[Post-Chorus]
These pills will kill
Every single feeling you wanted to feel
Just wanna breathe your air
This shit's never been fair
I wanna keep you tap
But I know you'll never keep tabs
On the way that you heal, like
You pushed away
Everyone who gave a fuck to notice
I shoot my shot
You keep it locked
I'm sure as hell to know this
Its not my fault you've been distant
No its not my fault
[Outro]
La da da da da oh
La da da da da oh
Oh no
Don't act phased bitch
Sorry guys
Oh no
Um
I like just noticed
I'm like stacking things
In my room to like uh make a stand
