Swallow

Sometimes there aren't enough pills
To numb the pain and end the nightmare
To make me forget, just for a little while
What haunts me every single damned day

But I know you don't like to hear that talk
So when I swallow the pills
I swallow that I took them
Like I swallow so many secrets
Someday I'm going to burst

But I've trained my stomach to expand
And hold a lot at one time
And my gag reflex is diminishing
From years of self-infliction
And if I think of something else
I can even give a decent blow job
Without throwing up on your dick

So I swallow down my secrets
My feelings, your feelings
Shove it all in
Shove it all down
Swallow again
And make everything go
Away
