I want to get so high
that I can’t hear my name,
can’t feel the weight of mirrors
reflecting all my shame.
Anything will do
a pill, a bottle, a cloud of smoke
I want to outrun the whispers
and the rules I always broke.
Sometimes it’s just too much
the stares, the likes, the skin I’m in,
So I chase the dizzy hush
where nothing hurts within.
Let me float past curfews
past curdled dreams and fights at home,
just one more hit, one more escape,
just one more way to roam.
Maybe I’ll get so high
I’ll finally disappear,
And maybe then the ache will stop
Or maybe I’ll just be nowhere near.
I wish I knew another way
to mend a heart that’s breaking,
but tonight I’ll take whatever comes,
no matter what it’s taking.

Or maybe I’ll just be nowhere near.
I wish I knew another way
to mend a heart that’s breaking,
but tonight I’ll take whatever comes,
