One More Hit

Friendly herbs we light on fire

Breathe it in with our desire

To fulfill our every wish

Take one more hit

Your mind gets higher

 

Like the smoke as it keeps rising

In the air and unsurprisingly

It starts to disappear

Take one more hit

Nothing to fear

 

For all your friends stand right beside you

Every word they say confides your every thought

And now you’re mindless

Take one more hit

You’re filled with kindness

 

Everything just makes you happy

No explaining but your laughing

All the time for little things

You pop this pill

You want to sing

 

You own the world with every step

You feel alive with every breathe

Your body’s light you feel no stress

Take one more hit

You’re like a jet

 

The sky the clouds are moving fast

You think of now and not the past

You hope this feeling continues to last

So you take one more hit

And now you cast

 

Cast away from all your worries

They say one thing you’re in a hurry

To do it all that which you please

Take one more hit

It’s all a tease

 

Now you’re back to everyday

You wish it never went away

You try to eat, but it tastes plain

Take one more hit

It helps some way

 

What’s this? Again, another pill?

You take it in moments at your will

You anxiously wait, you get the chills

Take one more hit

You feel the thrill

 

Your body shakes you can’t stand still

You’ll talk for hours right until

Your tangent minds forgets to think

Take one more hit

Your eyes don’t blink

 

The light’s they trail from here to there

The colors combine and stick to the air

Your eyes roll back but you fight to stare

Take one more hit

Your nostrils flare

 

Then tomorrow comes you try to eat

But something’s wrong you body’s weak

Your head just throbs in so much pain

Take one more hit

You feel more sane

 

It soothes your brain, relaxes your mind

And you sit there and wonder how people are blind

To the good things it brings, it just grows from the ground

So you take one more hit

And start looking around

 

Your eyes are blood shot and you stare at one thing

You’re so high to the point you don’t hear your phone ring

When your friend shows up, you have one more stop

He says stick out your tongue

You feel two little drops

 

Now all of the lights are reflecting your skin

You can feel them vibrating from within

With inside your mind, within your soul

Take one more hit

Now you’re thoughts take a stroll

 

Your cheeks they hurt from a permanent smile

And your eyes will be huge for more than a while

You get up and leave cause your walls start to breathe

So you take one more hit

What should you believe?

 

You try to look up at the sky

But then the stars fall in your eyes

They dilate straight into your mind

Take one more hit

Time passes by

 

So many things are left to do

Countless knowledge you never knew

You have the world for your dreams to pursue

So you take one more hit

But then who are you?

 

Nothing's how it was before

You’re on your knees, you grab the floor

“This world is **** can’t take no more!”

Your mind is lost what is this for?

 

Your precious life it makes no sense

You wonder if it’s all pretense

So many thoughts it’s too intense

Take one more hit

Now your aura’s immense

 

You feel your body levitate

You think and now appreciate

The little things that we create

Take one more hit

Now you start to debate

 

So you lay your body on the floor

And you close your eyes to see no more

But behind your lids are colors and shapes

You take one more hit

Still there’s no escape

 

You open your eyes and what do you see?

A road to a world in which you can lead

A new life, a new purpose without all this ****

Now you know what to do

So you take one last hit

As you walk down that road and say

 

“My knowledge is me, and my life’s what I do with it”
