Sober

Time moves slower when I get sober

I never did want you back, but whenever I leave you’re pulling me closer

Stuck in the moment

My lens seems out of focus

How can I be mad at it? This life of mine, I chose it

I keep on calling you

Even though I don’t need ya

We used to link almost every day

Now I think we need breathers

Put my trust in this filter

But it won’t fill the void that you left

Was just a boy when we met

You helped me stop the noise in my head

My parents never did like you

Maybe they judged you way too quickly

My backpack smells like teenage spirit, I bet if I’m there you’re with me

I know I could turn to the drink these days, this rum ruining my kidney

Amnesia or purple haze, it’s all the same when you kiss me

Time moves slower when I get sober

I never did want you back, but whenever I leave you’re pulling me closer

Stuck in the moment

My lens seems out of focus

How can I be mad at it? This life of mine, I chose it

I keep on calling you

Even though I don’t want you back

Swear I’m better without you

Only a matter of time till I relapse

I tried to pass off as nonchalant

But you controlled how I felt

You seemed right when things went wrong

That’s just the cards I was dealt

I’m folding

Lick it and fold it

When we ran out of them silvers

Cardboard all in this filter

Had me yearning for something realer

I got disassociation issues

Around the same time that I met you

Ten for lunch, but I’ll buy this food

'Cause that’s the lengths that you push me to, I’m done

Time moves slower when I get sober

I never did want you back, but whenever I leave you’re pulling me closer

Stuck in the moment

My lens seems out of focus

How can I be mad at it? This life of mine, I chose it
