A Pill To Swallow (0232025)

you open your eyes during surgery you don't see the surgeon you don't see the nurse you don't know why you hurt you don't see the incision you open the medicine cabinet you reach for the bottle of aspirin you don't know you took two placebos you don't know if its enough to do the job you don't know you being worked on then suddenly the pain you felt is gone you don't know the medicine you took is not that strong you don't know how many times you been under the knife you don't know how many times the unseen surgeon had to close your eyes open you up reach inside and save your life you don't know you a sinner under a halo
