lyrics

Mouth all dry and shit

Don’t go looking for things
that you don’t wanna find might just end up on this island wash up with me on the tide
Take it all in stride Feel the pain i feel alive
I swear i tried but i needed my supply

Like here i stand
deep
head planted in sand.
Swear the pills get demanding
like bitch go grab me a sandwich
need a bandage
i took every one i could manage
and they just kept taking advantage
fell and i finally landed
on my face
locked in that dark place with no escape
accept my fate
lost without my grace
change my face till it erased
think i need my space
but i still long for your embrace
attitudes i chase
chemicals i taste
looking like some palm trees
rotting at the roots
isolate me
then you wanna talk about abuse
seen so many fall and still i thought myself immune
you like to accuse when you ain’t got no fucking proof
shaking like a leaf spitting blood again
Guess I’ll just get it out the mud again
Cut em off looking for some drugs again
Like he don’t love himself how she in love with him
guess that he plugged -ed in
i got a win and i rubbed it in
sitting alone at a pub again
lining it up till i can’t walk a line
people keep saying You outta your mind
shit lookin fine
Feeling divine
Each spiral is feelin like slowly reclining back to the bud again
sand on my toes snow in my nose inside the hole i created alone
just got too scared of becoming a drone
panicking family hitting the phone
i shoulda known not to go looking cuz i could get lost shouldn’t a pushed it and thought of the cost
proof in the pudding get fucking exhausting

just snacking on this can of worms
