Six Pills (Acoustic)

In the woods I met a man Old as oak and staff in hand Sunken eyes but gentle smile We sat down and talked awhile And he said I can see it in your eyes You've been hurt a couple times I've got the perfect antidote To cure a heart of stone Tiny red pills in a big blue bottle He put them right in my hands Said this stuff can do wonders take you to nirvana Make you a better man I should've known something was amiss When I saw his smile turn to a grin But Then as he left me There so perplexed He turned and said One to numb the hurt Two to ease the pain Three to clear your mind Forget all the hate Take as I advised Not more than prescribed Several weeks ahead You'll be fine again One to numb the hurt Two to ease the pain Three to clear your mind Forget all the hate Take as I advised Not more than prescribed Several weeks ahead You'll be fine again So I went home My heart confused Didn't know just what to do I popped the cap And took a dose After all what could I lose And then I touched the clouds and bathed in sky A magic broom a carpet ride Before I fell and woke in bed Tried to repeat the words he said One to numb the hurt Two to ease the pain Three to clear my mind Forget all my hate What did he say next I forget the rest But several weeks ahead I'll be fine again One to numb the hurt Two to ease the pain Three to clear my mind Forget all my hate Five could never hurt Just to calm my nerves Several weeks ahead I'll be fine again Tiny red pills in a big blue bottle Wish I had the strength back then Need to get a refill chase away the evil All the whispers in my head But I can't find the man I knocked on his door His neighbors say no one lived there before So now all my days Just blur in a haze They go like this One to stop the chills Two to ease the pain Three to wash my guilt Forget all my shame Five could never hurt Six couldn't be worse Seven days it's been Here we go again One to stop the chills Two to ease the pain Three to wash my guilt Forget all my shame Five could never hurt Six couldn't be worse Seven days it's been Here we go again Here we go again Here we go again Oh To stop the pain Forget my shame Ah One Two Three Four Five Six
