Toxic
Josh and Steve Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The clock strikes twelve
I need four more hours and twenty more minutes
'Til I can be myself
I need a new outlet
It's starting to get in my head
Contemplating things I should've never said (yeah)
The thought of you gives me chills
I wanna show you the real me
So we can catch some feels
Don't trip
Relax
Take a hit
Feel the lift
Take you to cloud nine
'Cuz that's my vibe (yeah)
Every day feels the same
I think I am going insane
Drinking just to numb the pain
But I can't take all the blame
To see you smile and touch your face (yeah)
In your arms where I felt safe
But every good thing comes to an end
Lying alone in my bed
Thinkin' bout what you said
I be stuck in my head
Tryna forget
About you
You (yeah)
Flippin' through the pages of this book of life
Stuck on chapter nine
Don't know what I wanna do with my time
Smoking the days away
Trying to ease the pain
It's all got me feeling insane
Don't wanna feel this way (alright)
In my head again
Thinkin' about the past times
Like it was last night
I don't wanna fight
Just take me back to all the good times
Good days
Back when it was all a vibe
(All a vibe)
Yeah
I'm over it
Over all the toxic shit
Don't fuck with no petty bitch
You don't even know what you did to me
So fuck love
Fuck trust
I'ma get fucked
Drink until I'm drunk
Fuck until I'm numb can't get enough (yeah)
Heartache
Heartbreak
I'm healing just for my sake
Feelin' like I'm climbing up a mountain
Never think I'm gonna feel the same
But oh well
I guess that's the price you pay
When you're in love but they don't feel the same

Abandon All Hope.
Even when I liked JK, I got the feeling that these folks could be cruel to people that weren’t in their inner circle…but it looks like I was too generous even with that assessment.

@cam lee not a good reason to bully someone

The fact is that Jkfilms was the glue that kept most of the friendships and the more it dwindled the less they needed each other.
