Consumption

Baby I been burnin' em

down in the Civic.

Blue Dream and OG

to be more specific.

 

Daily I been tryin'

to reach upper limits.

Mushrooms and Acid,

that shit is terrific.

 

Lately I been feelin'

a little bit wicked.

Nights full of sin,

I won't get too explicit.

 

Maybe I been gettin'

too lit I admit it.

Days full of Gin,

and a lack of commitment. 

 

Baby I been givin' it

all I can give it.

Numbing my body

to talk with my spirit. 

 

But the loud is too loud

and I can't even hear it.

The drink is too strong 

and my heart won't go near it.

 

For fear of not being able to bear the truth,

I'm numbing myself like an aching tooth;

Drowning in a river of brown elixir,

and dashing my brains on the rocks.

Relatable material.
