Afterglow

[Intro] Numb to the world, but I still feel the pain These pills make me float while I'm going insane The afterglow hits when the high starts to fade Another night lost in this chemical haze [Verse 1] Empty prescriptions scattered on my desk Monster cans piling up, I can't get no rest Mom's calling again, I let that shit ring Can't let her hear me when I'm breaking down, breaking down Writing these bars till the sun comes up Chasing that feeling till my head's fucked up Marcus keep telling me I need to slow down But these demons only quiet when I'm faded now [Chorus] Caught in the afterglow Beautiful poison, let me go Temporary heaven in these lows Till reality hits and I'm back on my own In the afterglow Where my mind starts to overflow With these thoughts I can't control Beautiful poison takes its toll [Verse 2] Late night sessions, just me and these thoughts Each line I write feels like prayers I bought Synthetic salvation in orange bottles Working class hero, yeah I'm living hollow Every high shows me truth I can't face Every come down leaves another trace Of who I could be if I wasn't so weak But this medicine's all that helps me speak [Outro] In the afterglow Where everything moves slow Till there's nothing left to show But these words and this beautiful poison flow
