about

I wrote this song during standardized testing at school. I had just finished my first essay, and was supposed to start on my second essay, however, fuck ISTEPs and fuck essays, I do what I want. Like copious amounts of adderall...

lyrics

The dilation of my pupils changes with my mood.
Vasoconstriction of my veins keeps me from my food.
I've lost 20 pounds of body weight in just two weeks.
I've lost 20 tons of self respect in reality.
And man this binge can't last forever,
a man's gotta eat,
but who said fasting had to be a religious feat.

Depression was my condition. Drugs were my solution.
Now addiction is my affliction.
And theres no solution in the empty space of a small,
orange bottle topped in white lace.
With a sticker saying do not misuse or abuse these tabs of self pity.
Your white lace is no longer pretty.
Your orange hue, no longer enticing.

And though those lines were all lies, and I'm writing this song high.
No dehydration can keep me from crying over,
miligrams closer to dying.
A whole gram closer to death.
At least theres no whiskey on my breath.
Just dirt in my urine, and chemicals in my brain.
And though I think you're all insane.
The codeine can't numb the pain from
when my mind's blind eye and tattered heart
catch a glimpse of my own insanity.

Tabs of self pity, no longer so pretty.
Tabs of self pity, no longer so pretty.

Depression was my condition. Drugs were my solution.
Now addiction is my affliction.
And theres no solution in the empty space of a small,
orange bottle topped in white lace.
With a sticker saying do not misuse or abuse these tabs of self pity.
Your white lace is no longer pretty.
Your orange hue, no longer enticing.
