(Intro)
Yeah…
Said I’d never need it—now I’m deep in it
Funny how that works when you live in it
(Verse 1)
I said keep it away, I ain’t want that zone
Now the smoke in my lungs feel like somethin’ like home
Didn’t choose this path, I was pushed to the edge
Now I’m lightin’ up just to quiet my head
Yeah it’s smooth, yeah it’s calm, yeah it slows it down
All the noise in my brain don’t scream so loud
For a minute I’m free, for a second I’m gone
Like the weight of my past don’t hang so strong
But rewind that—look how it started
Didn’t want it near me, now I’m a part of it
Same people preachin’ like I’m the mistake
But they built the road that I had to take
(Pre-Chorus)
So don’t act shocked when I lean on this
When the pain too loud, I just breathe like this
Inhale—hold it—let it all fade
Exhale pain I was never meant to take
(Chorus)
Yeah it feel good, I won’t lie about it
Got me floatin’ so high I don’t think about it
All the stress, all the nights, all the messed up scenes
Disappear in the cloud, yeah I stay in green
But I know deep down what I’m runnin’ from
Every hit, every breath, yeah it numbs me some
I ain’t proud, I ain’t clean, I’m just tryna cope
In a world where I lost all my sense of hope
(Verse 2)
Hypocrites still talk like they never wrong
Same ones did it first now they movin’ on
Pointin’ fingers like I’m the one who fell
But they handed me the match then they watched me burn
And him? yeah he played both sides real quick
Did dirt with me then exposed my shit
Now I’m stuck with the blame and the mental scars
While he walkin’ free like it ain’t that hard
And home don’t feel like a place I can breathe
More like somewhere I’m forced just to be
Every move got rules, every word got weight
Like I’m livin’ my life in a locked-down state
(Bridge — emotional + aggressive)
Yeah the high feels perfect—I won’t pretend
Like for once I don’t feel like I’m breakin’ again
But the moment it fades, yeah I’m back in my head
Same thoughts, same ghosts, same things they said
So I roll it again—yeah I chase that peace
Even if it’s fake, it’s a small release
You don’t get that pain, you don’t know that war
When your safe place gone and your trust destroyed
(Chorus)
Yeah it feel good, I won’t lie about it
Got me floatin’ so high I don’t think about it
All the stress, all the nights, all the messed up scenes
Disappear in the cloud, yeah I stay in green
But I know deep down what I’m runnin’ from
Every hit, every breath, yeah it numbs me some
I ain’t proud, I ain’t clean, I’m just tryna cope
In a world where I lost all my sense of hope
(Outro)
I didn’t want this…
But now it’s the only thing that slows it down.
Yeah—
That’s the truth.
