Avenue - 40 Mg

40 milligrams, a night, oh

I don't got no time to waste time
Go to work and play up at the same time
Yeah she a baddie but I heard she kinda fake like
Hard to get until I grab her by the waistline
Nosebleed, she never waste lines
FaceTime, cocaine white on the face time
Now her face is brighter than the daylight
Redder than the blood on my hands, I'm tryna save lives
Redder than these flags avoid the bull I'm the matador
My life the type of Messi with no ballon d'ors, so
I got my first taste of the praise and now I'm back for more
It's really all I'm asking for, to get what I deserve, uh
I know my worth
If I manage to work up the nerve for it, I can work for it, come in first for it
Stay up for a week pass out and wake up in a hearse for it,
I would give away my life, to the game
Wait in purgatory to get reimbursed for it, ooh
I need an advance, I'm so off the wall
I'm not scared, I'm just taking precautions
Overthinking often, I can't sleep
Then I daydream, then I wake up
For the same thing, I'm exhausted
Can we press pause, turn it off like a faucet
Hear the droplets, torture in the dark, been outta order since the start
Birth to college
Hide, hide, hide, put my head in the ground like an ostrich

40 milligrams of anti depressants a night, oh
Can you hold my hand, when it's shaking way too much to write
And I can't understand when we say everything is alright, oh
In and out of my conscious, until I'm unconscious for good in this cycle
Palm Springs
Maybe I been worried 'bout the wrong thing
Ima keep pretending 'till I end up on the ground like the fall leaves
Out of energy I need some coffee, tryna
Go through heavens gate with the wrong key
Surrounded by the demons suffocating tell 'em get the fuck up off me
Nothing is free, but nobody told me life was so costly

Oh
Say it ain't so
Spend 8 hours in my thoughts, then I wonder where the day go
As a kid I thought we lived to be a hundred
Now I think I'd be happy, to make it to 28, though
And I'm waiting for my day, tryna find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
The grass is always greener on the other side
That's a myth, that's a lie
Ima get there and I'll be like Coraline without the rain coat
God letting down tear drops
When it's running down my face will you be here or not, I fear not
Foot stuck on the pedal I can't steer or stop
Tryna speak to you, ya never in earshot
Feel like my ears are shot, I listen way too much
And when I talk, get no answer for my prayers or my questions
Stack the problems like its Tetris
It don't fit right
Think about an early stage in this life
When I didn't need the meds, 40 milligrams
40 milligrams, when I didn't need to meds, 40 milligrams
When I wasn't lacking rest, 40 milligrams
When I wasn't afraid of death, 40 milligrams
Now I'm thinking 'bout the end
And I'm dealing with the stress, 40 milligrams
40 milligrams
