Bitter Pill Lyrics by St. Lenox

Ten Songs About Memory and Hope

2015

[Verse 1]
Walk in to the kitchen and
You'll see a drawing of a man
With hearts for arms and legs stuck to
The door of the refrigerator
You had drawn the picture as
A silly little gift for me
I kept the drawing to confirm
That you were still with me
[Chorus]
And you are a harsh and bitter pill to swallow
And you are a past temptation laid to rest
And you are a stiff reminder of impermanence
And you are a fading memory
[Verse 2]
Down beneath the counter there's
A book with pages stained from years
Of fiddling with recipes and
Drinks from when we cooked together
Pressed between the pages are the
Notes that we had left each other
Lavender and bergamot and
Orange flower water
[Chorus]
And you are a rough and bitter pill to swallow
And you are a past temptation laid to rest
And you are a sad reminder of my past
And you are a drifting melody
[Bridge]
[Verse 3]
Packed inside my wallet in my
Pocket is the fortune from the
Fortune cookie from that Chinese
Restaurant that we had tried
It said "Spring is sprung and
Life is blooming." and i laughed at how
It wasn't much a fortune but
A commentary
[Chorus]
And you are a tough and bitter pill to swallow
And you are a past temptation laid to rest
And you are a stiff reminder of impermanence
And you are an aging memory
[Verse 4]
Walk into the kitchen and you'll
See a drawing of a man with
Hearts for arms and legs stuck to the
Door of the refrigerator
You had drawn the picture as
A silly little gift for me
I kept the drawing to confirm
That you were still with me
