"SUBSTANCE" lyrics

"SUBSTANCE"

Is anybody happy with life in the backseat?
Trying to master the art of detaching
Is anybody driving? Is anyone asking?
Is anyone grasping that nothing lasts?

Whoa
I know we're all fucking exhausted
Whoa
Am I in my head or have we all lost it?
So, I ask myself

Am I
The only one looking for substance?
Got high
It only left me lonely and loveless
Don't wanna end up in a casket, head full of maggots
Body full of jack shit I get in abundance
Am I
The only one looking for substance?

I don't remember last week, got my head scratching
But everyone's acting like nothing is lacking
Think we might be crashing, everyone's laughing
Time is just passing, yet, nothing lasts

Whoa
I know we're all fucking exhausted
Whoa
Am I in my head or have we all lost it?
So, I ask myself

Am I
The only one looking for substance?
Got high
It only left me lonely and loveless
Don't wanna end up in a casket, head full of maggots
Body full of jack shit I get in abundance
Am I
The only one looking for substance?

Am I talking to myself?
Is anyone out there?
Screaming at the walls
I can't relate at all, relate at all

Fuck the theatrics, what happened to classic?
Give me the real shit
Give me the magic
So, I ask myself

Am I
The only one looking for substance?
Got high
It only left me lonely and loveless
Don't wanna end up in a casket, head full of maggots
Body full of jack shit I get in abundance
Am I
The only one looking for substance? Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
