lyrics

Open my eyes to a bloody nose
Sweat stained sheets stuck to my soggy clothes
I lost my keys wallet and phone
good thing a hangover feels like home

Well i wish every night could feel like this
Head thick with blissful ignorance
I can’t stop and I don’t care what i missed
God it feels so good to be an escapist

I’m not on some spiritual quest for truth
A care free good time is my only pursuit
When the sun goes down it’s my time to shine
If I don’t remember I must have had a good time

Oh, oh,
B Money gonna take the flow
Because the stage is the only place to go
To lose to yourself
Escape the trouble
Of a world filled with ordinary
Nonsense and rubble
I wanna find a way
I wanna find a magical escape
To ease my mine from rhythm and rhyme
Drop out of this grind
Know that there is a time
When we must all lose our minds
To Bacchic stumbles and ecstatic flying
I know that you're trying to save me
From my own dark destiny
But I know I won't let it get the best of me
Yea I know I won't let it get the best of me
Oh I know I won't let it get the best of me
