Chase That Feeling

She's young, lithe, and homely

Wise by no means

Known one guy, she for his eyes and only

He's a lying phony, leaves crying, lonely

Separates the pain by staying high and thought she

Might just OD, high price to go free

This ain't livin', listen it's dying slowly

Ooh, it's got a hold on me

She can chase that feeling

Don't chase that feeling like I

Been looking for

Something that's good for the rich, yeah

The blind and the poor

Believe that I

Been looking for

Something that's good for the rich, yeah

The blind and the poor

Sometimes I feel we strive for a life of apathy

Callous deeds, other mindless acts of greed

Ain't jack for free, I think they'd try a tax to breathe

It's like we fight to remind us that we bleed

I take flight in the night from lack of sleep

'Cause peace of mind's the only time that we're free

It's got a hold on me

And I'ma chase that feeling

It's got a hold on me

We all chase that feeling

It's like they try to build you up to watch it all collapse

You try and climb out the pit, they'll try and claw you back

Like back in the factory, packing the shelves

It was hell 'cause the foreman was always harassing me

Like, how's your little old music thing going?

Now I'm like, how's your bitter old loser shit going?

And I'm right, and I'ma chase that feeling

It's got a hold on me

I'ma chase that feeling like I

Been looking for

Something that's good for the rich, yeah

The blind and the poor

I believe that I

And I'ma chase that feeling

Been looking for

Take that pain and replace that feeling

Something that's good for the rich, yeah

And I'ma take that feeling

Then stand so tall they'll have to raise that ceiling, man

From a young age, I was making my mark, chasing my start

Forever ain't enough, when you're state of the art

Fuck the haters, I done said it, never make it this far

It's the pavers that I'd tread to dedicate to my craft

I've tailored every thread to bear the shape of my heart

Treating every breath as my first and day as my last

It's got a hold on me

I still chase that feeling

It's got a hold on me

Yeah, I still chase that feeling

I ride the rails of a vinyl track

Fall into a trance and there ain't no climbing back

Sit and lose myself in all the hidden loops

They're like forbidden fruits, I'm like, can I get a bite of that?

Gin and juice, I get loose and I write a track

Shivers down my spine, feelin' more like a spinal tap

It's got a hold on me

And I'ma chase that feeling

It's got a hold on me

I'ma chase that feeling like I

Been looking for

Something that's good for the rich, yeah

The blind and the poor

I believe that I

And I'ma chase that feeling

Been looking for

Take that pain and replace that feeling

Something that's good for the rich, yeah

And I'ma take that feeling

Then stand so tall they'll have to raise that ceiling, man

At the start of summer

I'ma come to life and have the heart of a hummingbird

And I can hear the drummer

And she's so ugly, but I'm so in love with her

Wake up

Roll out of bed, throw on some roll on

Roll out to the studio, it's gotta hold on me

And I'ma chase that feeling

Chase that feeling
