High

Breathe in deep and feel it catch, my air stolen by your lit match
Close my eyes, feel them itch, ignore the ringing still I twitch
Racing while I'm trying to rest, perpetually underdressed
Oh no, cardiac arrest, oh no, disregard request

Spent my twenties underwater, painted up like a monster
Flask is full, heavy water, brain is dull, mental rotter
Soaking in my own fucking head, kicking in my own damn bed
Running up that beach head, there'll be plenty bloodshed

Brain pan, deep fry
Ape man, confine
Lifespan, decline
Newsman, gaslight
Brain pan, deep fry
Ape man, confine
Lifespan, decline
Newsman, gaslight

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, caught this cheetah by his toe
Need a monster for your show? From that cliff poor I was thrown
Was tossed by friends I used to know, and for that high they stooped so low
It's tough to spit through my slit throat, I'll stop the bleeding with this rope

Is it getting too dark in here?
Let's clap our hands, let's scream and cheer
Light up a blunt, knock back a beer
Music is supposed to be fun to hear
I forgot about standing up, facing my fears
Swallowed that poison pill for years and years
'Member Chester from ninety-four words before?
I got you in my teeth, this is what I am for

Brain pan, deep fry
Ape man, confine
Lifespan, decline
Newsman, gaslight
Brain pan, deep fry
Ape man, confine
Lifespan, decline
Newsman, gaslight

One more pill and I'll let it go
One more pill and I'll let it flow
One more pill and I'll let it go
One more pill oh no, oh no

As I take a deep breath, I expose my composure
My lungs shake and shudder like it's already over
These demons on my heels getting closer and closer
They wanna make friends with the devil on my shoulder so I stop
Turn to face the evil chasing me, I square my feet
Life's got a a knife, I'm just packing fists and teeth
Despite the odds, hit so hard, shook the earth beneath
Gonna taste your blood before I swallow this defeat
