[Hook]
Oh baby can you please take the pain away?
Maybe running from today will help me forget yesterday
Even if it's only temporary...
Anything is better than what is currently
Baby can you please make the pain go away?
You are my best friend cause you show me the way
To a world of color even if it is gray
I'm forever grateful 'til the end of my days
[First Verse]
You say these vice have the same effect on us like ice
But considering what it gives me I pay a small price
Imagine busting back to back, but twice as nice
And just because of that, I reject your advice
Granted I wish these visits to heaven had longer duration
Veteran to them so gotta triple take to get instant gratification
These moments of peace laced with ecstasy, highest form of masturbation
Go ahead, call it an addiction
But as far as I'm concerned the elevation it takes me
Takes me far away from all the devastation that life is
What I do with my own self
With my own health is none of your business
Leave me be I'm the lone wolf
Even though I'm in the midst of the crowd, I am lonely
That's why these d** are my best friends, they console me
Nobody else knows me
Above all I prefer their company cause they don't judge me
[Bridge]
Who knows how long this will last for?
I need the real thing, f** a metaphor
Love is what I hunger for
But until then pleasure's what I'll settle for
[Hook]
[Second Verse]
Don't preach to me I don't care what's right or wrong
Keep this righteousness and I keep this going long and strong
Matter fact can you help a brother look for Babylon
They telling me answers asking questions but I'm long gone
It's too late to persuade me about a better way
You should have listened to your heart when you first met me
Our love is a fraud if it ain't for everybody
Notice how we play Jack of Hearts when there's possibility
Of parlay, we say we want peace but how can we
When we act our own enemy, through hypocrisy
So I say f** it let's kick the bucket
Grab the wishful penny and chuck it
No use tryna' revive truth in a system that's corrupted
That's why I spend my time drowning these sorrows in bottles
And take pills to depart from dull life and feel the throttle
To feel something new I smoke which prolongs the high
And for a few moments relieves me of the lows, I love to fly
So what if I like crowds cause I hate to be alone?
Truth is I don't feel at home in my own bones
When the nightmares come the whole Earth I wanna turn around
But when Euphoria knocks I slow it down, that's why I be...
