Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tryna overdose
I've been feeling bored
In the dark, I'm a bloody ghost
I can't fucking go, cut my throat
Tryna overdose
I've been feeling bored
I can't fucking go, cut my throat
Tryna overdose
I've been feeling bored
In the dark, I'm a bloody ghost
I can't fucking go, cut my throat
Tryna overdose
I've been feeling bored
In the dark, I'm a bloody ghost
I can't fucking go, cut my throat
Tryna overdose
Life loves to turn you to a bitch and fornicate
Addiction is a disease you can never satiate
Knowingly makin' yourself sicker
Poppin pills and chasin' it with liquor
Never seen someone with the flu
Askin' for a higher fever
Kids filming themselves OD
It's literal insanity
Losing all control of reality
Lying to your own psyche In your own voice
Telling you this is the right choice
I've been feeling bored
In the dark, I'm a bloody ghost
I can't fucking go, cut my throat
Tryna overdose
I've been feeling bored
In the dark, I'm a bloody ghost
I can't fucking go, cut my throat
Tryna overdose
I've been feeling bored
In the dark, I'm a bloody ghost
I can't fucking go, cut my throat
Tryna overdose
I've been feeling bored
In the dark, I'm a bloody ghost
I can't fucking go, cut my throat
Tryna overdose
I've been feeling bored
In the dark, I'm a bloody ghost
I can't fucking go, cut my throat
Tryna overdose
They telling me to smile
But I don't know happiness
All I know is narcotics
So now I'm just lethargic
One would think Dope would make me feel copacetic
But I'm addicted and I can't stop it
Shit is a menace
All my life I've had a morbid conscience
Flashback to Scenarios from my adolescence
Addiction talks to me in my own cadence
Like my brain fell victim to a parasitic sadist
