Chemically Imbalanced

I'm on the edge, one step and I'll be over

Unless I take those twelve steps, aimed at gettin' sober

That's the shit I told myself I'll handle when I'm older

And now I'm older and still got this devil on my shoulder

Bottle up my problems, like prescriptions I'm poppin'

All the liquor that I find myself drinkin' so often

Now these cards are dealt, told myself I don't need help

Numb myself to everything, and keep on runnin' from myself

Let's drink away the pain

Let's make another toast

Let's smoke another blunt

Until it's just a roach

So pop another pill

And drop another dose

I haven't lost it yet

But now I'm coming close

I'm just chemically imbalanced, on that shit

I'm just chemically imbalanced, lost, lost my grip

I'm just chemically imbalanced, one, one way trip

And now it's too late for turnin' back

And now it's too late for turnin' back

And now it's too late for turnin' back

And now it's too late for turnin' back

And now it's too late for turnin' back

Yeah, left here to battle this addictive personality

That's got me living in this alternate reality

Losing touch with what is real ever so gradually

'Cause at this point I need these chemicals to balance me

It's like I'm following a blueprint that the devil made

Since I first took my Ritalin in the 7th grade

The doctor gave me sixty milligrams, just a kid

Barely weighed a buck, it's like they used me as their guinea pig

Crazy teen (Crazy teen), medicated ADD

Doctor said take only one, but you know I was taking three

Blazin' tree and skippin' class, getting drunk and missin' math

Bangin' chicks without a rubber, crushin' pills up on the desk

Chemically imbalanced in this motherfucker, startin' shit

Still I was a smart kid, got myself a scholarship

Private school, wear their button-downs with the dockers

And the JanSport full of weed stuffed into my locker, yeah

Let's drink away the pain

Let's make another toast

Let's smoke another blunt

Until it's just a roach

So pop another pill

And drop another dose

I haven't lost it yet

But now I'm coming close

I'm just chemically imbalanced, on that shit

I'm just chemically imbalanced, lost, lost my grip

I'm just chemically imbalanced, one, one way trip

And now it's too late for turnin' back

And now it's too late for turnin' back

And now it's too late for turnin' back

And now it's too late for turnin' back

And now it's too late for turnin' back

See I was blackin' out weekly, livin' on repeat

Still in high school but the teachers could never reach me

Always was the fuck up with the chip on my shoulder

And a pocket full of anything to keep me from sober

See I was livin' like there's no tomorrow

Chewin' on a Xany bar, rollin' up the window

Smokin' blunts up in the family car

Bottles to the head, got detention on the reg

Never listenin' to what my parents said

I was always rollin' with an ounce or two

Every time I'm bouncin' through

Flippin' everybody off like Shady taught me how to do (Fuck you)

Always thinkin' that the more we burnin', the merrier

Just a kid from middle-class suburban America

And so many others like me, listen to me nightly

Happy that somebody else is feelin' what they might be

So, Christian, pop a pill, ooh, yeah, I bet you will

As if that shit don't make your problems any less for real

Let's drink away the pain

Let's make another toast

Let's smoke another blunt

Until it's just a roach

So pop another pill

And drop another dose

I haven't lost it yet

But now I'm coming close

I'm just chemically imbalanced, on that shit

I'm just chemically imbalanced, lost, lost my grip

I'm just chemically imbalanced, one, one way trip

And now it's too late for turnin' back

And now it's too late for turnin' back

And now it's too late for turnin' back

And now it's too late for turnin' back

And now it's too late for turnin' back
