Feelings numb

Feelings numb

Feelings numb

Feelings numb

Feelings numb

Vicious cycle of psycho

Naked pics on my iPhone

Spreading drugs on the table

Love the fact that I hate you

Pass a week 'til I'm passing out

Face is blue while I'm blacking out

Russian shots, am I rationale?

Sad as fuck now I'm happy

Dance through my home like Sherlock

Fuck me blindfold like Bird Box

Trash bag, my clothes got thrown out

Got bags under my third eye

All this because I'm numb

Acid all on your tongue

I can't stop getting drunk

Woke up like what the fuck?

Drugs, I just wanna have fun

I don't care that you're gone

Party until the sun because I love drugs

Feelin' too lit to cry

You don't want me, that's fine

Not gonna waste my high because I love drugs

Not gonna waste my high

I love drugs

You don't want me, that's fine

I love drugs

Feelin' too lit to cry

I love drugs

Feelin' too lit to cry

I love drugs

Head is spinnin', dread the feeling

Outside, inside, dad, forgive me

Lost the money, thoughts are running

No self-love, my stock will plummet

It's easy to get fucked up

It's crazy that I love you

I'm married to all my vices

It scares me to be self righteous

Might spin like car do donuts

I heal my pain from one puff

My trauma poured in one cup

My mama know I'm fucked up

All my problems are handmade

Self-hate cut deep, need Band-Aids

I can't stop getting drunk

Woke up like what the fuck?

Drugs, I just wanna have fun

I don't care that you're gone

Party until the sun because I love drugs

Feelin' too lit to cry

You don't want me, that's fine

Not gonna waste my high because I love drugs

Not gonna waste my high

I love drugs

You don't want me, that's fine

I love drugs

Feelin' too lit to cry

I love drugs

Feelin' too lit to cry

I love drugs

I love drugs (I love drugs)

I love drugs (I love drugs)

I love drugs (I love drugs)

I love drugs (I love drugs)
