  • One week off my medicine
    higher than I've ever been
    I could use a sedative but I'm not gonna take one
    Wonder when it's gonna end
    lowest that I've ever been
    I could use a sedative but I'm not gonna take one

    Ran out of refills, wait for the headaches to start
    take the 9 back to the Mission and it's getting dark
    before my phone dies I call my therapist
    walk to the CVS and talk shit to the pharmacist
    Cold sweats and my appetite is gone
    Smoke an eighth to the face to replace what I've been on

    One week off my medicine
    higher than I've ever been
    I could use a sedative but I'm not gonna take one
    Wonder when it's gonna end
    lowest that I've ever been
    I could use a sedative but I'm not gonna take one

    been overthinking, every thoughts a re-run
    overexplaining all my feelings to everyone
    it's putting distance between me and the ones I love
    there's a static on the line and I think they cut me off

    They think I'm stable but I'm noth

    I hate feeling like myself
    Only SSRIs help
    Heaven knows it hurts like hell
    without my little blue and white pills Writer/s: Jason Hayes, Nick Long, Tyson Evans
