Chemical Therapy

I need ways to escape my problems
They aren't always the best decisions
Once I see a way to catch a buzz
I develop tunnel vision
I know it isn't healthy
I know it isn't right
I know I shouldn't do it
But it's a constant fight
Some call it my demons
Coming out to play
But I need life enhancement
Every single day

Chemical therapy
The only thing that works for me
Pass that joint, get me a beer
Or I won't want to stay here
Cut me out another line
So I can try to ease my mind
I need powder, I need pills
Or I'll never feel fulfilled

I need another bump to think
And forget all my pain
Puking in the kitchen sink
What's wrong with my brain
My train is on a broken track
About to derail
I try to ride the straight and narrow
But I always fucking fail
I don't know why I can't be happy
When I don't have a drink or six
I'm far from a normal person
I feel like I can't be fixed

Chemical therapy
That's the way it's gotta be
Still waiting on another beer
So it can take away the fear
I could use that other line
Just so I can dull my mind
Even with powder and pills
I feel I'll never be fulfilled
