SUBSTANCE Lyrics by TOMMYHENDERS

2020

INTRO:
Nobody save me, nobody save me
Aye aye
Nobody save me, nobody save me
Aye aye
Nobody save me, nobody save me
Aye aye
Nobody save me, nobody save me
CHORUS:
I won’t feel alive unless I take another hit
I don’t feel alive unless I down the bottle quick
I can’t feel alive unless I get to freak my shit
All these tendencies and memories that stay repressed
VERSE 1:
Could’ve been a happy boy, I could’ve been a king
Could’ve, would’ve, should’ve but mama look at me
Made a promise with myself that I would leave me be
Wouldn’t try to take my life until I paid my fees
All those payments are due, I pay my payments in full
I couldn’t focus in school, yes I just drippity drool
These drugs, they fuck up my life
These drugs, they tend to entice
I’d make these drugs be my wife if I didn’t find someone nice
Yeah, my girl is a goddess
I treat her tenfold, like profit
I broke my number one promise
I cannot be here that’s honest
Tattoos on me for moments
Where I don’t feel like I know me
When I’m dissociating nearby in your local Walgreens
My bestfriend seen a lot of shit
Times of low and times of bliss
Overdosing on a bench ‘cause I just need another whiff
I couldn’t settle all of my scores, I cannot help but be a bore
When I’m sober, I’m it’s whore and when I’m high it’s love galore
I don’t sleep well at night
If I don’t have something right
Something I flick and I light
Into a whole different life
Bodies on top of bodies
These people fill in my lobby
They scream and cry that they want me
I scream and cry that it’s funny
Used to write to subside me
Now I beg you to try me
Drown in the tub, that’s my psyche
Drown in these drugs to confide in
Ain’t no love on this island
Ain’t no running and hiding
Take my shovel and dive in
Under the ground I am thriving
If it wasn’t for timing, I’d be locked up somewhere mourning
I’m sorry mama forgive me, did my best to avoid it
Need this shit just to cope with all the trauma that flows in
Empty words and unfocus, in the bathtub I’ll be floating
CHORUS/OUTRO:
I won’t feel alive unless I take another hit
I don’t feel alive unless I down the bottle quick
I can’t feel alive unless I get to freak my shit
All these tendencies and memories that stay repressed
