about

Title/hook is a reference to Jimi Hendrix, and also I recorded this while peaking on acid

lyrics

So nervous I shake
I'm hurried I'm late
Stare at the world while I
Worry it's fake
Can't see through the smoke
That fills up my room
Don't know what to do
As I'm lowering to the
Floor with the angst
So much more as of late
And I sort of just wait
For a glorious break
One fleeting moment
Where there's more than just
Hate
Already on my third Xanax today
Gaining some weight still
Wasting away
Wasting each day with
Drugs and some games
Name was Voltaire but it's Mud
For today
All too aware of too many things
Don't know what I know
But I know what I mean
No dead bread boxers
No hokey beliefs
Just about ten dollars
And folded receipts


Not necessarily stoned
But manageable
This stuff's effect
On my mood is fuckin
Tangible
Drugs derived from plants but the
Food is mostly animals
I won't stop or I can't
Who the fuck even cares anymore



Like
Fuck Eminem buy my EP
He already made it
I'm on the brink
Someone just push me
I'm close to the edge again
Locked in the studio
Smoking my medicine
Don't feel ok don't know
That I ever did
I know that I'm wrong I can
See all the evidence
But my brain doesn't make
The right levels of elements
Not quite broken or damaged
Just hella shit
I don't practice anything
What I got is not relevant
I'll just hit the bottle go right to the
Bed again
Outgoing shy
Talk a lot but
Reticent
Every single microsecond an hour long
Or five some days
I say we slow it down
Let the world fly away


Not necessarily stoned
But manageable
This stuff's effect
On my mood is fuckin
Tangible
Drugs derived from plants but the
Food is mostly animals
I won't stop or I can't
Who the fuck even cares anymore
