We're an existential species
Love and money on our minds
If we don't get one or another
We get sad as you will find

And as you find
That these two items
Seem to make the best of us go blind
While the rest of us get high
and attempt to free our minds
But I got a feeling
That this world is more complex than it seems
We got common people
Always thinking they the next to succeed

I got hazy visions of women under the influence of weed
How bout we slow down time, give you a chance to believe

Cuz when my time is up
I don't want to be wishing for
Another chance at life
Wondering why I didn't do more

I spend my nights awake
Most times I'm in the bed by four
And if it were up to me though
I wouldn't go to sleep no more
But I need some rest
God damn it we all need to rest
Cuz everyone in this whole establishment
Seems to get upset
When things don't go the way
That they do on their favorite movie set
The nature of our business
Is not one that you can second guess
And if I confess my love
For what people deem as heresy
I just wanted to get a taste
of something that's been hidden from me

A little bite of that forbidden fruit dangling from the tree
And smoke it up the way that it was intended to be

And for a minute there
I thought that I had lost my mind
I'm looking down on Earth
Just like I left my life behind
I start to wonder
Why the world is just so fucking blind
And I feel that I'm a part of it
cuz who the fuck am …?

Time after time
Line after line
It's time I find
Some peace of mind
Dime after dime
I'm getting mine
I spend my days
Getting blazed
In various ways
It’s just a lackadaisical phase
What do you want me to say?

I’m in a stage of my life
Where things aren’t where they need to be
I need some change in my life
The worst has got the best of me
I don't need more fucking time
I'm sure I'll get there eventually
And in the event that I die
Make sure they bury me with
Plenty of coins
To pay these tolls for my roundtrip journey
Float across the River Styx and back
Kicked out cuz I was only really high
But not dead
I think I went to space instead
Chilled out upon my bed
With counterfeit Beats headphones on my head

Remember when I told you
Things could never be the same?
And then you shrugged me off
Cuz you refused to take the blame?

Yea, I know the difference
Between an old friend and a play thing
So let me stretch my mind a bit
and lift off to the astral plane

Time after time
Night after night
I try to find
Some peace of mind
With whatever comes through
When I light
Hey!
It's just my luck I would lose something I started to like
But now I'm wide awake for the first time in my entire life
