High and Grounded

[Verse] Coffee keeps me steady like a clock in my hand Sip it for the battles where I take a stand But the smoke calls my name when I start to sink Lighting up the chaos I can't overthink [Chorus] Wish I was high where the sky ain't so low Floating past the questions I don't wanna know Coffee for the straight lines I walk in the sand Weed for the waves I can't command [Verse 2] Mornings feel like battles with a shield of steam Fighting off the whispers of a half-failed dream Evenings turn to haze where the rules don't apply Trading all my worries for a paper-thin high [Chorus] Wish I was high where the weight doesn't stay Let the smoke write my story in a cloudy ballet Coffee for the lines I keep sharp and planned Weed for the nights I can't understand [Bridge] There's a middle ground I keep trying to find But it's either caffeine's push or the smoke unwinds Torn between the focus and the reckless sway A tug of war that carries me day by day [Chorus] Wish I was high where the noise melts away Drifting past the anchor of a ground-bound fray Coffee for the moments I think I command Weed for the truths that slip through my hand
