"Overdose" lyrics
The first thing that came to mind
Was Fentanyl laced inside
Last year I got a call
Thought I was too old to cry
But when I heard my uncle died
Oh my it was fireworks
It hurts
More than the words can describe at first
And I am sure
It could have been me too
Dead in the dirt
Cause I was 16-years-old high on Percs
I'm going numb numb numb
From these drugs I'm on
All the pain they cause
Not ok at all
Gotta run run run
Run so far away
From this place
Can't escape these walls
I don't got no one
I don't got no one
To save me from myself
I just need some help
No one to call my friend
I get high for days on end
Sometimes I sleep past noon
Other days I don't leave my bed
They whisper "I see you"
Them demons in my head
Them demons in my head
Want me to become dead
I used to be a healthy guy
Before I OD'd on what the doc prescribed me
Xanax pills they can stop anxiety
But I popped too many
And I lost sobriety
Look at our society
Medicated to the gills
Opioids and these prescription pills
Addition kills
Open up and swallow
As I down the whole bottle until it refills
I'm going numb numb numb
From these drugs I'm on
All the pain they cause
Not ok at all
Gotta run run run
Run so far away
From this place
Can't escape these walls
I don't got no one
I don't got no one
To save me from myself
I just need some help
They say the good die young
And the bad die old
Sometimes life can be so damn cold
I'm on the floor in a ball of pain
While I call your name like where'd you go?
Where'd you go?
Where'd you go?
Save me from myself
I just need some help
I'm screaming where'd you go
I'm screaming where did you go
Somedays the sun don't shine
Sometimes I'm on my own
No one to call my friend
When I been feeling low
I'm screaming where'd you go
I'm screaming where did you go
I'm going numb numb numb
From these drugs I'm on
All the pain they cause
Not ok at all
Gotta run run run
Run so far away
From this place
Can't escape these walls
I don't got no one
I don't got no one
To save me from myself
I just need some help
They say the good die young
And the bad die old
Sometimes life can be so damn cold
I'm on the floor in a ball of pain
While I call your name like where'd you go?
Where'd you go?
Where'd you go?
Save me from myself
I just need some help
Was Fentanyl laced inside
Last year I got a call
Thought I was too old to cry
But when I heard my uncle died
Oh my it was fireworks
It hurts
More than the words can describe at first
And I am sure
It could have been me too
Dead in the dirt
Cause I was 16-years-old high on Percs
I'm going numb numb numb
From these drugs I'm on
All the pain they cause
Not ok at all
Gotta run run run
Run so far away
From this place
Can't escape these walls
I don't got no one
I don't got no one
To save me from myself
I just need some help
No one to call my friend
I get high for days on end
Sometimes I sleep past noon
Other days I don't leave my bed
They whisper "I see you"
Them demons in my head
Them demons in my head
Want me to become dead

While I call your name like where'd you go?
Where'd you go?
Where'd you go?
Save me from myself
I just need some help
