[Intro] [Verse 1] Dreaming of my alarm soundin Had the weekend off and still recoverin Pop some pills so I can keep functionin Stuck in a loop of just surviving [Pre-Chorus] [Male and female duet] I’m awake but don’t feel alive In my head I’m alright, my heart says otherwise [Chorus] [Male and female wordless vocals answer each hook] Is it a prescription or addiction? A lifeline or contradiction? Investment or manipulation? I can’t keep going on like this [Post-Chorus] [Layered voices] On like this, on like this I can’t keep going on like this [Verse 2] I’m so tired, can you take the wheel for a minute So I can close my eyes and ask for some wisdom My kids see pure confidence on the surface But inside my chest it’s like I’m being invaded [Pre-Chorus] [Male and female duet] I’m awake but so paralyzed I radiate safety to them, but I could never let them realize [Chorus] [Male and female wordless vocals answer each hook] Is it a prescription or addiction? A lifeline or contradiction? Investment or manipulation? I can’t keep going on like this [Chorus] [Full band, stronger harmony] Past a threshold, there’s numbness Inside of a blender with no forgiveness Don’t have the cards, can’t bluff and win How the hell do I beat the system? [Bridge] [Instrumental] I’m not asking to be carried far Just trying to get to shore before being swept out by the tide I’d do that for someone else if I could After I’m through this, I would [Pause] [Nearly whispered] Why is it so hard to ask for a line? [Final Chorus] [Full band, male lead with soaring female octave responses] Is it a prescription or addiction? A lifeline or contradiction? Investment or manipulation? I can’t keep going on like this [Final Chorus] [All voices, biggest guitars, sustained final notes] Past a threshold, there’s numbness Inside of a blender with no forgiveness Don’t have the cards, can’t bluff and win How the hell do I beat the system? [Outro] [Layered voices] On like this, on like this I can’t keep going on like this
