She swallowed the pills and said goodnight
It hurt too much to even cry
She closed her eyes against the light
She counted her breaths, her chest so tight
The bed, her nest, on which she'd lie
She swallowed the pills and said goodnight
Tired of fighting the noble fight
Confronting her nemesis eye to eye
She closed her eyes against the light
Blurred edges between wrong and right
It made no difference, so why try?
She swallowed the pills and said goodnight
She prayed in vain, in pain, in spite
Her body was weak, her spirit dry
She closed her eyes against the light
Her mind a blank, a board wiped white
Again another small death she'd die
She swallowed the pills and said goodnight
