Stoned
Stoned Reflections: Navigating Life's Turmoil Through a Haze
Lyrics
I used to push my body
I used to exert myself physically
Far beyond what it could do
Pushed my body beyond its limits
Just in case you'd show up and say I'm proud of you
Hoping for acknowledgment and pride from someone
These days I fail on purpose
Now intentionally failing to avoid appearing sad
So it doesn't seem so sad
Coping with being a disappointment
Being a disappointments not that bad
Acceptance that being a disappointment is not terrible
So I get real stoned just because I should
Using substances (like drugs) because it's expected
Drink too much just to say I could
Consuming excess alcohol as a form of self-expression
This burnout bits been done to death
Feeling exhausted from overused themes
T ell me what hasn't I do it
Questioning what hasn't been done
Too old to call myself young
Feeling too old to be called young
Only halfway to being someone
Only halfway to becoming someone significant
So I get real stoned just because I should
Repeating the use of substances because it's expected
Drink too much just to say I could
Excess alcohol consumption for the sake of it
This burnout bits been done to death
Feeling worn out by overused themes
Tell me what hasn't I do it
Questioning what hasn't been done again
Too young to call myself old
Feeling too young to be considered old
Already halfway to picking out my headstone
Already halfway to planning for the end
Well the suicide jokes aren't funny anymore
Not finding suicide jokes amusing anymore
Mime a gun to my head and we all get bored
Expressing boredom with dark humor
Coming up on cuffing season
Approaching a time of year associated with relationships
I'll take anything I
Willing to accept anything
Want a reason but I don't
Seeking a reason but not finding one
I want heartbreak magic
Desiring a magical experience of heartbreak
Blissful panic
Yearning for intense emotional experiences
Believe in anything you got
Being open to believing in anything
But I'm just stoned
Being under the influence of substances
Going home alone
Returning home alone in an altered state
But I'm just stoned
Repeating the experience of going home alone
Going home alone
Emphasizing the state of being under the influence
I'm just stoned
Highlighting the altered state of being stoned
I'm just stoned
Reiteration of being in a stoned state
