The first time I ever took a shot was in ‘04
“It’s only for a bit, not long term” is what I swore
But I reached a point in my life where I thought I needed more
So I flipped open my phone and called in for the quickest score

Still think back, to the many nights that
I’d look and see the neon signs from inside of my city flat
So let’s do the math; system is attracted
To everything that keeps my brain doing these constant backflips

A hat trick; three decades of seeing that it’s
Crazy, to live life so amazingly lazy like
Lost in a maze while your mind is so hazy, might
Be better to be grounded and stop being so spacey, right?

Just when I couldn’t take anymore chemicals
I fell back onto my bed and got a little bit skeptical
Like, “do I really need these lights to see?”
Technically not, cause I am naturally
So trippy, so trippy, so trippy

A promise made, a promise kept
I quit all of that stuff that prepped me for an early death
Cause I had reached a depth, deep inside my mind
Like a veil was lifted, I’m no longer living blind

But now adapted to being clean, the distractions
Of a former life are now officially retracted
I see indeed, that I am free
Never quiet about it or live silently

“Abide in Me, and I in you”
It spelled it out clear and made it a perfect truth
To get me on the right track, found again the right path
Now it’s all so simple, cause I feel like I am right back in it

Just when I couldn’t take anymore chemicals
I fell back onto my bed and got a little bit skeptical
Like, “do I really need these lights to see?”
Technically not, cause I am naturally
So trippy, so trippy, so trippy
