"Downers" lyrics

"Downers"

I can't smell the flowers
Felt empty now for hours
Lost my powers
I can't smell the flowers
I'm sick of all these towers
Think I done too many downers

Hard to see the value in these half-hearted encounters
Can't deal with the truth so we just change the world around us
To feel and smell just like we want it to
Fuck what we're meant to do
Can't hang 'round, be no fool
Wasting time just getting high

Getting high to get by
Clear my mind
Yeah, blue skies
All this time I've been flying
From up here

I can't smell the flowers
Felt empty now for hours
Lost my powers
I can't smell the flowers
And I'm sick of all these towers
Done too many downers

Stuck inside a space I have created for
Myself to be round no one else
I'm working on my spells
To get me out of here
Oh, yeah, your words are wisdom
Oh, yeah, you keep on giving
But now there's no forgiving
And, yeah, I'm over thinking
Some days I am just sinking
Static, nah, I ain't driven
Talking but I ain't listening

I can't smell the flowers
Felt empty now for hours
Lost my powers
I can't smell the flowers
And I'm sick of all these towers
Done too many downers

I can't smell the flowers
Been hanging out for hours
Where's my powers?
And I'm sick of all these towers towering over me
Feeling fucking lonely
Like no one even knows me
Not even my own homies

Getting high (Getting high)
To get by (To get by)
Clear my mind (Clear my mind)
Yeah, blue skies (Yeah, blue skies)
All this time (All this time)
I've been flying (I've been flying)
From up here (From up here)

I can't smell the flowers
Felt empty now for hours
Lost my powers
I can't smell the flowers
I'm sick of all these towers
Too many downers
I can't smell the flowers
Felt empty now for hours
Lost my powers
I can't smell the flowers
I'm sick of all these towers
Too many dow-downers
