Southern State of Mind

He locked himself inside the bathroom
It's not a tactic but it's a reaction
The only way to escape from the massive depression
That keeps on bringing him down
Like ten thousand elephants stomping around
He can't face the crowd and now he can't be found
Underground is where he resides
Receding to the recesses of his mind
His judgment is blind
His conscience is heavy
His palms are sweaty
His knees are weak
His will to go on is empty
He opens the medical cabinet and what does he find
Hope
In something that he cannot define
But thinks is divine
He thinks it's paradise when it's all a lie
It's all a facade
He thinks he's closer to God
He's totally wrong
He's self-destructive now and cannot be stopped
He's popping the tops off the bottles
And downing pills as he swallows his fate
It sounds jaded but he's trying to get faded
But when it's all said and done
He'll be forever sedated
Damn

Man I cannot take these lies anymore
Why the first thing you gotta get
High in the morning
I can't sit here and watch you kill yourself
Sniffing shit and swallowing pills don't help
Prescriptions be lining physicians pockets
Putting you in a position to drop quick
It's about time for you to wake the fuck up
Getting fed up, the pain is numbed with drugs bro
Take a look in the mirror
When are you gonna stop deflecting all your problems with syrup
Pour another in a double cup and nothing will clear up
In fact at the end of it cause your problems to gear up
It's not a lie like Shakira
Do you ever get ashamed of your reflection
Staring through the windows of the soul and see the emptiness
Take a step and scan your life to the see the mess it is
Shit, maybe you would be better off just ending it
