take something Lyrics

All these pangs of fear that work up to my chest

When I remember times I haven't been my best

I sleep for fifteen hours but I get no rest

Dreaming of all the times I've made a fucking mess

If I could take something that would help me forget

A life lived too long, too full of regret

I would take two & I'd be nicer to you

A thousand micro cuts that open every night

On all the parts of me that never see the light

So self-indulgent: made-up snubs & perceived slights

I play old songs for hours but I never write

If I could take something that would help me erase

A life lived too long, too lacking in grace

I would take three & I could chill, finally

If I could take something that would help me retire

A life lived too long, too uninspired

I would take four & I would be more adored

I would take five & I would fight to survive

I would take ten & I would try it again
