Dose

Overdose

Take a hit of it

That one moment everything blurs away

The feeling is numb in every way

This hit has me on a cloud

Not above or below but high enough to stay afloat

Queasiness rolls in my stomach

This massive surge pulses and my brain feels like jumpin'

Escaping, away from the lights

The cameras and the action just take a moment for my rights

Another dose and who really knows

Anything can happen, anything can explode

My eyes are wide and they are bleeding to see

What's on the other side as I stare endlessly

This road just continues and many paths are hidden

So my choices will dictate just where I'm headin'

So I'll take this dose of life that I'm given

Keep on popping till I stop breathin'

Explore, create, and keep achieving

I'm on cloud nine, till my heart stops beating

So here I go, I'll plug my nose

Hope to breathe underwater

If I go under
