lyrics

I've laid in a bed with a woman
who belongs to my best friend
I've pondered for several weeks and months over it
but my tongue stays tied down
I've been straight before,
but my brain thinks I'm better on the drugs

I've questioned my stomach with chemicals and regrets
it answers back with a growl
The world says I'm turning,
My mind thinks I'm learning how to finally settle down
I've been straight before,
but my brain thinks I'm better on the drugs

Lost track of time down by the creekside
watching my mind float away on a lily pad
set on a path with no map
and I'm not sure if it's ever coming back
I've been straight before,
but my brain thinks I'm better on the drugs
