Smoking grass down in the garden, the color convulsions started
In the night, dog’s fire their thoughts at will
My bed is caught up in a draught, moving in, moving out
Lie alone on the edge of my thoughts, oh well
I was thinking, that I might spare the world
Another Ambien-addled zombie
Fire in my belly burning till mouth opens and hell unfurls
Is it love? Is it drugs? Is it money?
I got it but I’m scary when I need it
You know the cold wind’s bout to blow, cold wind
Ice is building on my soul
I came over to get high
But I just fall asleep, one drag at a time to avoid the low
I’m still conquering my lows, lows, lows
Still conquering my lows, lows, lows
Foolish for thinking it could never be worse
When you’re dealing with the devil the payment never comes first
Fuck you and your credit, papa said it
If it’s demon call it out
Or the hands silencing your mouth will take more than you allow
And now there’s way too many eyes in this parking lot
Intentions underground, but through cracks they be talking loud
Dean is on the phone saying “Be there in 45”
But he means 20, in this life, you do best to look alive
Is it love? Is it drugs? Is it money?
I got it but I’m scary when I need it
You know the cold wind’s bout to blow, cold wind
Ice is building on my soul
I came over to get high
But I just fall asleep, one drag at a time to avoid the low
I’m still conquering my lows, lows, lows
Still conquering my lows, lows, lows
