Verse 1:
I feel the weight, I can’t escape, my mind’s a maze,
Drowning in thoughts, lost in this haze.
Rolling up a blunt, but it’s just a disguise,
Trying to hide pain that I can’t recognize.
Chorus:
So I get high, just to feel alive,
Numb the thoughts that make me wanna cry.
Floating through the clouds, where I can’t feel,
In this smoky realm, nothing seems real.
Verse 2:
Heart racing, demons chasing, I’m out of time,
Searching for peace, but I can’t find the rhyme.
Lights flash, memories crash, stuck in the past,
Trying to escape, but this feeling won’t pass.
Chorus:
So I get high, just to feel alive,
Numb the thoughts that make me wanna cry.
Floating through the clouds, where I can’t feel,
In this smoky realm, nothing seems real.
Bridge:
And when it fades, I’m left with the pain,
Chasing these highs, but it’s all in vain.
Every hit I take, I’m losing myself,
Wishing I could put this feeling on the shelf.
Chorus:
So I get high, just to feel alive,
Numb the thoughts that make me wanna cry.
Floating through the clouds, where I can’t feel,
In this smoky realm, nothing seems real.
Outro:
But when the smoke clears, what will I face?
Just me and my thoughts in this empty space.
Trying to run away, but I see the truth,
In this haze I find, I’m just losing my youth.
