lyrics

[Chorus:]
I get so high (x3)
And I don’t know why (I know why)

Got a blue dream in a glass jar
Helps make life a little less hard
Now I need a Bic to find my spark
To shed a little light on my dark
I’m Elliott Smith in my deep parts
Half right into a false start
Driving figure 8’s in a cruel farce
Exactly how this art stays sparse
Color me with hues of dark blue
While the mannequins come to jack you
Won’t fall in love if I don’t have to
That’s life staring out of the rear view
When you choose to let the past haunt you
That’s how a bedroom becomes a tomb
And I promise I won’t be high by noon
But I plan to rise alongside the moon

[Chorus]

When I asked for truth they gave me 80 proof
When life threw a curveball I lost my groove
White flags in the air, I’m calling a truce
Because I’ve got nothing left in me to prove
Said I’m alright so I believe it
Put it to the universe so I achieved it
Spreading good karma, so I received it
Not a saint, but I’m trying, better believe it
The way these fears are coming true
I transcended art to become a recluse
The way I see it I’ve got no excuse
The Frank Lloyd Wright of my own abuse
Keep actin' acute when all I am is obtuse
I'm Kunta Kinte trying to show my roots
All of this time spent tryin’ to serve a purpose
Smoke inhalation got me seein' that I'm worth it

[Chorus]
