Intro:

My condition is incurable.
They tell me that I need to take drugs, to numb the pain.
Its days like this that I just wish that I could rewrite my history
But I gotta live with my mistakes

Verse 1:

They say it goes away, they say it goes into remission,
I don't understand is there something I'm missing?
These feelings haven't ended and I'm still miserable,
My stomach is always empty yet it still feels full.

Why can't I wake up and still not fall asleep.
My feelings are confused; do I need more sheep?
Call Little Bo Peep and get the pills that I need,
But tell them to stop releasing when I fight to see!

What am I suppose to believe,
that drugs are helping me?!

Prozac, Zoloft or Lexapro?! Jeezs!
And Abilify, I mine as well go back to weed!
We're playing musical chairs and hoping it succeeds!

I keep losing though and have to lay underneath!
Depression is above, slowly crushing the seat!
If I can't escape this soon, it will suffocate me!
Is that the only answer for me not to breathe?!

Chorus:

They tell me my condition is incurabe.
They tell me that I need to take these drugs to numb the pain.
Its days like this, I just wish that I could rewrite my history
But I must live with my mistakes

Verse 2:

My outlook turns into a black and white film,
The days repeat as if I were in Pleasantville.
The dialogue and sound are down a couple decibels
And I fade in and out, even at Coachella festival.

I question friends if they ever feel like this,
But they seem susceptible, are they being serious?
Or are they telling me bullshit to keep me from talking,
About personal problems that remind us of Hopsin.

When I can't take it, I make a liquid concoction:
A combination of straight scotch, beer and a sobbing,
Lie on my bed and listen to a piano dropping, 
From the 92nd C to the lowest option.

Until I fall asleep from all of the toxins,
Hoping my dreams will show me the better options,
But only to be let down and continuously shocked then
by seeing nightmares, that always ends with my coffin!

Chorus:

They tell me my condition is incurabe.
They tell me that I need to take these drugs to numb the pain.
Its days like this, I just wish that I could rewrite my history
But I must live with my mistakes

Bridge:

I isolate myself,
I know I need help
But I'm too cool to pursue it
Too much of a lone man; a desperado, 
Who doesn’t need anyone to listen or follow,
But realistically underneath of my skin, I’m hollow!

I got thick skin, but it bleeds after a while
And I can’t swallow all this shit in alone
I wanna grab my phone, but I don’t even know who to call on
I’ve blocked everyone out that I don’t even have a friend to fucking call on!

Outro:

They tell me my condition is incurabe.
They tell me that I need to take these drugs to numb the pain.
Its days like this, I just wish that I could rewrite my history
But I just,
I just,
I just gotta deal with the pain.
