Synthetic Bliss by Blizzard Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I think I've got an addiction
I'm only happy when I'm smoking, taking drugs or drinking
It's the way I live my life, I wish it could be different
No half measures, I smash it until I'm twisted
I tend to pretend even to my real friends
I'll make an excuse like "Hell, it was the weekend"
And lately that does not feel right
Hiding it from everyone, I've gotta stop these lies
I remember when the weed had got a hold of me
Controlling me, I'd book a studio just to go to sleep
And then I fell into prescriptions
Couple, couple codeines so I can feel my body start drifting
I know I've got an addictive personality
Use drugs as a [?] to distance from reality
This is taking hold of my sanity
It's become a problem, I no longer do it casually
But man I love the booze
That's the most common thing I choose
Fighting with the urge to stop, I'll always lose
In for a penny attitude's what I use
When I hit the bottle I don't care about nobody's views
Contemplating rehab
Sometimes I think I need that
It sounds a bit extreme but in my future I can see that
I should see a counsellor, could really use the feedback
I've always had something I'm hooked on when I recap
Smoking like a chimney
Nicotine is in me
Lighting up in secret and you bet I'm feeling guilty
Don't know why I do this
Man I'm feeling stupid
Only got one life and I am not prepared to lose it
I'm sick of coughing every evening
Spluttering and wheezing
I used to put a 20 pack away
Like every day you'd hear me struggle with my breathing
And the funny thing is I ain't even got a valid reason
[Hook]
All I want is an escape
Never happy in a normal state
That's why I'm always getting off my face
Anything to help me minimise the pain
People tell me just to keep it clean
But it doesn't sit well with me
All I want is to be free
So this is how it has to be
Synthetic bliss is the only thing I need
[Verse 2]
I'm an addict for caffeine, double up my cappuccino
Makes me feel a buzz but I'm sure that is a placebo
It's awful for my heart, it's something that I need to veto
But when it's free at work I always find the urge to reload
(All I want is an escape)
I just can't describe the feeling
And you can probably tell I've got an addiction to eating
Takeaways were rare, it mainly started as a treat
Then it goes from once a month to four times every week
If I carry on I'll probably kick the bucket in my sleep
And all these fizzy drinks are really messing with my teeth
(That's why I'm always getting off my face)
Shit, it's getting peak
I've got the doctor telling me I'm morbidly obese
I've got trolls telling me I need to change the way I live
Get on weights and hit the gym
Maybe laying off the sniff
But I hate the fact of living, that's the way it fucking is
I won't be changing that for shit
Get off my case and let me live
Recently I've fancied psychedelics
I've read that micro-doses [?] for depression
It's a really useful method cosigned by many medics
And that nothing's more helpful than a [?] session
And my anxiety it heightens every second
Till I'm fighting suicidal thoughts despite my every effort
(All I want is to be free)
I'm dying to be better
Thinking that I should be sectioned for the sake of all my bredrins
Diazepam and Prazolam
Prozac, Lexapro, Paxils and Citalopram
I've been on Pregabalin, it keeps me at bay
And it's something that I need every day
But I can safely say it's doctor approved
I've got a prescription for that
So in a way it's the only good addiction I have
I'm gonna beat the others soon, yeah I'ma find a way
Yeah I'm addicted to the meds but they're the reason I'm alive today
[Hook]
All I want is an escape
Never happy in a normal state
