Bitter Pill Love (via 2001)

 

The bitter pill is lovely

The bitter pill is sweet

The taste of contradiction

Is quite pleasant indeed

I stand within my failures

I'm weak when I boast

Of all the things I hate

I miss you the most

 

The bitter pill is tasty

The bitter pill eases pain

The taste of my exultation

The crackling of the rain

I'm crying in my smile

I'm dying without peace

Of all the things I hate

I'm missing you indeed

 

The bitter pill has pleasures

The bitter pill has its place

The taste of completion

A complete sour taste

Erect I was fallen

A victim of free will

I gave into temptation

The love for a bitter pill
