Stwo - f** A Metaphor (DRUGS) lyrics

[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... [Break] [Hook] [Bridge] 2x
