Fuck being sober

Verse 1

The clock keeps ticking loud in an empty room

Coffee goes cold by the afternoon

Same streets, same lights, same tired air

Nothing hits different when your mind is clear

Used to chase thunder in a double cup

Thought I was flying when I was fucked up

Every night burned like a blunt in the dark

Now silence echoes where there used to be sparks

Pre-Chorus

I miss the chaos, I miss the noise

The reckless nights and the broken joys

But every high had a price to pay

And ghosts still linger when the rush fades away

Chorus

Life feels slower when you’re sober

Days get longer, nights get colder

Used to feel electric, wild, untamed

Now I’m learning how to live without the flames (so lame)

I still remember how the colors ran

How everything felt better than I am

But the crash came hard when the high was over

Now I’m stuck between alive and sober

Verse 2

Back then the stars felt close enough to steal

Every scar and secret didn’t feel real

Laughing too loud in the parking lot

Running from everything I never fought

Now I sit still with my own head

Hearing all the words I left unsaid

No chemical sky, no borrowed escape

Just me and the weight I can’t outrun today

Pre-Chorus

I miss the danger, the blurry glow

The fast heart beating I used to know

But every sunrise came with regret

A debt my soul still hasn’t paid off yet

Chorus

Life feels slower when you’re sober

Days get longer, nights get colder

Used to feel electric, wild, untamed

Now I’m learning how to live without the flames (so lame)

I still remember how the colors ran

How everything felt better than I am

But the crash came hard when the high was over

Now I’m stuck between alive and sober

Bridge

Maybe boring means I finally stayed

Maybe peace just feels strange this way

Maybe healing isn’t loud or fast

Maybe real life takes longer to last

Final Chorus

Life feels slower when you’re sober

But I’m still here, and I’m getting older

The highs were bright but they burned too deep

And nothing good comes without something to keep

I still remember who I used to be

Half in the dark, half chasing free

Now I’m learning how to carry the weight

Without losing myself to escape

Fuck that lets light up this jay
