about

Drugs aren't the only form of escapism I wanted to portray/represent in this album, but it's definitely a form of escape that is extremely prevalent in pretty much all communities.

lyrics

"The High"

The greatest peace I ever felt was what they told me to dodge.
Born a fuckin' junkie. No gateway, just probable odds.
Me and Moms fighting in the street, squabbin'.
Hang with vets who ask their gods for affirmation, so Jehovah goes and gives them the nods.
10 miles west, same addicts' daddies get them real jobs while...

( " I g e t t h i s f e e l i n g . . . " )


Oh, shit!

This is where the party's at!

I'm finna dance with the Devil. Where your car keys at?

She said that wasn't such a bright idea when I was only getting high right before I see 'er.
Hoping she wouldn't notice, hoping she wouldn't blow it.
So focused on making our different standards of normal coexist.
That's when I made a promise to sort my shit and to get on it,
but I was dosing everyday avoiding sickness and vomiting.
On top of that, seeking treatment with my funds was just the runaround.
Weary of every "Healthcare Professional", I felt hunted down.
I'll just stay underground.
I'm glad that you're relatin'.
Before we take this,
did you shut all the doors on your way in?
