Morphine

[Intro] Numb to the world, yeah, these pills make me float Can't feel a thing when I'm riding this ghost Mama's cabinet looking empty again Wonder if heaven feels close to this, damn [Verse 1] White bottle paradise, prescription's my vice Rolling through memories of cold hospital nights Mama's hands trembling, reaching for relief While I watched from the doorway, too young to believe Found her stash when I turned seventeen Now I'm swimming in that same morphine dream Marcus told me "bro, you're going too deep" But these demons inside never let me sleep, yeah [Chorus] Morphine dripping through my veins Beautiful poison numbs the pain Can't tell if I'm going insane Or if this is just my family name Beautiful poison in my brain Watch me float away again This medicine's my only friend Till the darkness meets its end [Verse 2] F*ck what they saying, I know what I need Every prescription's just helping me breathe System's broken, they don't understand Working-class bodies just breaking like damn Inherited trauma flows through my blood Mix it with opioids, turn pain to love Looking in mirrors, I'm fading to ghost Living on borrowed time, overdose close [Bridge] Sometimes I wonder if mama knew That her little boy would follow through Generation after generation Chemical dreams for medication [Chorus] Morphine dripping through my veins Beautiful poison numbs the pain Can't tell if I'm going insane Or if this is just my family name Beautiful poison in my brain Watch me float away again This medicine's my only friend Till the darkness meets its end [Outro] Just one more dose to make it right Just one more pill to sleep tonight Float away into the light Till nothing hurts and nothing's right
