[Verse] Twenty-seven milligrams I'm calling on to activate Lock and load my brain so I can force it to recalibrate At the counter where I daily stop again to calculate Another loadout just to get into my working state [Verse] The neuro static turns to focus so that I can navigate morning productivity means others judge me adequate In the evening they're shocked I'm insubordinate Is this me or am I only what pills orchestrate? [Pre-Chorus] Some preach "application over medication" Others "self-control and concentration" But they've never fought the war that rages When my synapses won't turn the pages [Chorus] Am I enough, make me enough Orange bottle, loaded chamber Swallowing this Russian wager Am I enough, make me enough Differently wired not confused And I will be the one to choose To take it [Verse] Friends feel I'm inauthentic say I overcompensate Sad I take a pill they say's intended to domesticate But I retain the creativity to innovate No self-sabotage I don't want to procrastinate [Verse] When I press the fret board the strings begin to resonate All the pathways clear I find my mind can still reactivate The studio can't be the only place that I can habitate I live out in the world where ideas ferment and fulminate [Pre-Chorus] They demand my "authentic self-expression" Then critique my "chemical repression" But they can't fathom the imposition Of a brain that will not stay on mission [Chorus] Am I enough, make me enough Orange bottle, loaded chamber Swallowing this Russian wager Am I enough, I'll be enough Differently wired not confused And I will be the one to choose To take it [Verse] I go deeper tolerance demanding that I escalate Thirty-five becomes the dose that I will need to concentrate Others clap at all the productivity I demonstrate Don't see me as second rate I made my choice to medicate [Verse] Terrified of when these drugs no longer actuate Just a product of my ever speeding metabolic rate If I go too far this pill is sure to incapacitate What becomes of me if the chemicals won't activate? [Bridge reprise] But sustainable creation needs more than only inspiration Can't maintain such elevation without added medication Hit the wall of limitation, and I seek remediation Chemical salvation to stop cognitive stagnation [Final Chorus - More intense] We are enough, We are enough Orange bottle, loaded chamber You are neither crutch nor savior I am enough, I am enough And we are going to raise this voice And I already made my choice To take it To take it To take it To take it [Fade out]
