[Verse 1: Jesse Sendejas, Whitney Flynn & Both]

Loaded to brim with Librium

Hallucinating in some retro tele nova (rich motel in NOLA)

Just using worse drugs to quit the drugs

Been using to stay comfortable n' numb

Used to be I’d drink myself through every twist and turn

But now I’ve grown up a bit

And seen some shit

Made my mistakes

I’ve lost and won

What did I learn?

Lalalalala

Ohhhhhh

[Verse 2: Jesse Sendejas, Whitney Flynn & Both]

Holy shit I’m not dependent anymore, It’s fucking weird

I’ve been an addict for a decade, now I can see the world so clearly

(And it’s terrifying!)

My mind it feels rejuvenated

All those thoughts I drown out for so long are bubbling back up

(And they're driving me crazy!)

Oh, look now I can feel again, the numbness has abated

How's real life, it fine and dandy?

(No, it’s not, I fucking hate this!)

This really how all these sober people live!

Life sober is over stimulating!

Piece of shit!

This feeling's hell and boring normalcy!

Why did I even quit‽

Oh, yeah that’s right, I almost died

So, I suppose I’ll give this sober train a ride

At least until I yank out all my teeth

Does this boredom never cease?

Reality is a disease

Oh, lord I need fucking drink

Lalalalala

Ohhhhhh


[Bridge: Jesse Sendejas]

I sit in slippers on a dog hair coated sofa, staring at the ceiling, contemplating god

Why I numb myself and what I’m so afraid of, all while trying to ignore these racing thoughts

I've a never-ending nagging need to figure out the point

But maybe there just isn’t one

We’re all just maladroit, moronic, meaningless abominations hurdling towards an empty ever-lasting blank oblivion

The clarity is killing me

But so were the drugs

Why can I not just exist happily

Without being numb?

Is there something I’m missing which others have found?

If you’ve answers, inform me;

I’m being dragged down by the weight of unknowing, it’s really bummin’ me out

I’ve been to hell and back and seen so much beneath the heavens, so what did I learn

[Pre-Chorus: Jesse Sendejas, Whitney Flynn & Both]

Left to my own devices

And stripped of all my vices

I possess a tendency to overthink and analyze things

But I don’t think it worthless to contemplate our purpose

Now that our society appears to have become so thoughtless

It seems especially important that we take a sec'

To gather some perspective and remember that we’re all just specs

A dust within a vast expanse

Created out of happenstance

Diluted from the same initial spark

So let’s party down

Lalalalala

Ohhhhhh
