Anywhere Instead Lyrics by Chris Orrick

Portraits

2018

[Intro]
Goddamnit

[Verse 1]
I take my coffee with three sugars and some cream
Killin' myself softly with a pump of nicotine
Yeah, my heart's emotive and I'm cloggin' the machine
Gettin' up hungover, that's just part of the routine
Went to the doctor, said "your liver's full of fat"
"You better quit the booze." I said, "Well doc, how dull is that?"
My doctor does the Iron Man
I put the bacon in the frying pan
DM me recommended diet plans

[Pre-Chorus]
Was gonna kill myself by using exhaust fumes
Turns out the regulations made that shit too clean
So thanks Obama for the disappointment, now I just avoid it
Only time I ever die is in my dreams

[Chorus]
Most days I can't get out of bed before it's noon
Don't wanna leave my room, lookin' at my phone
Knockin' on the door, pretend nobody's home
Layin' in my bed, wishin' I was dead
Anywhere instead
Anywhere instead
So baby let's go sell my car and get away
Hop on the interstate to any different place
'Cause next time that you see me, might not be awake
Take what we need and give the rest this shit away

[Verse 3]
So take me to the universe where Chris is happy
So I can kill him out of spite, get a taste of what it feels like
Delete my hard drive, re-insert me in the Matrix
Had enough of this condition we call real life
'Cause in this rap shit, people treat me like Chip Baskets
But Louis had to jack it, so now I just skip past it
Speakin' of sad masturbation, losers on computers give me a bad reputation
After careful consideration, my name isn't Red Pill, I had to change it
I'm goin' by my born-name
So if you've got the time to waste to @ me 'bout it
Please hang your head in your shame, weirdos

[Chorus]
Most days I can't get out of bed before it's noon
Don't wanna leave my room, lookin' at my phone
Knockin' on the door, pretend nobody's home
Layin' in my bed, wishin' I was dead
Anywhere instead
Anywhere instead
So baby let's go sell my car and get away
Hop on the interstate to any different place
'Cause next time that you see me, might not be awake
Take what we need and give the rest this shit away
