lyrics

I’ve tried caffeine.
I’ve tried weed.
I’ve tried therapy and speed.
All that I can find is
Nothing works as well the second time.

The similarity between hard drugs and famous quotes
Is that they’ll work for maybe like an hour, but don’t get long results.
They don’t.

We still chase the feeling
Never getting close, never getting a meaning.

We isolate ourselves. Hallelujah, human condition
And if things aren’t going too well,
We give in to all suspicion.
We do.

We still chase the feeling
Never getting close, never getting a meaning.
When’s it time to admit something’s wrong?

I’ve tried caffeine.
I’ve tried weed.
I’ve tried therapy and speed.
All that I can find is
Nothing works as well the second time.
I’ve tried pleasure.
I’ve tried pain.
I’ve tried eating yellow paint.
All that I can find is
Nothings gonna bring me peace of mind.

The crux to every mantra is they’re empty without action.
It’s no surprise that Mick Jagger
Can’t get no god damn satisfaction.
He don’t.

We still chase the feeling
Never getting close, never getting a meaning.
When’s it time to admit something’s wrong?

I’ve tried caffeine.
I’ve tried weed.
I’ve tried therapy and speed.
All that I can find is
Nothing works as well the second time.
I’ve tried pleasure.
I’ve tried pain.
I’ve tried eating yellow paint.
All that I can find is
Nothings gonna bring me peace of mind.

How long
Will you chase a reason?
You’ll spend eternity.

I’ve tried caffeine.
I’ve tried weed.
I’ve tried therapy and speed.
All that I can find is
Nothing works as well the second time.
I’ve tried pleasure.
I’ve tried pain.
I’ve tried eating yellow paint.
All that I can find is
Nothings gonna bring me peace of mind.
