Poppies - VERIDIA

I’ve been slow motion trippin', oh no

I been taking toxin to fix my problems

But this don’t work for me

Don’t need your sympathy

(Aching more every day)

I’ve been slow motion trippin'

I keep myself medicated

To sleep away the pain

Double dose til' I am dreaming sweetly

But I need a change

Even if I am asking for it

Even if I beg, no matter what I say

Don’t bring me poppies

I’ve been suppressing feelin'

I been realizing the worst is in my head

I can’t escape from me

Give myself some empathy

(Nothin'll change until I change)

I been, yeah, suppressing feelin'

Sorrow’s a butcher

I was up for the slaughter

But the deeper it carved

That hole in my heart

The more joy I could contain

So, bury the old me

And if you bring poppies

Throw them to the earth

I need this rebirth

I am ready to love myself

I keep myself medicated

To sleep away the pain

Double dose til' I am dreaming sweetly

But I need a change

Even if I am asking for it

Even if I beg, no matter what I say

Don’t bring me poppies
