lyrics

When I was 18 I did LSD
with my roommate & my high school friend & some girls we were seeing
I felt pretty normal then everything changed
I battled it internally but I felt kinda strange

So I went for a walk, & I picked up some chalk
I wrote “nothing is permanent now”
Then I burst back in the door
& I fell to the floor
I cried “no” I cried “no” I cried “no”
“It makes perfect sense now”

Then all semester I’d do it again
I spent every weekend tripping out with my friends
It felt pretty funny then everything changed
The world I had trusted began to feel strange

I couldn’t believe that all of these things
I took for granted, I no longer relied on
I felt fogged in the head, so I took to my bed
I cried “no” I cried “no” I cried “no
Nothing makes sense now”

Cuz I wanted to know things that the world didn’t tell me about
When I was 17

When I was 18 I did myself in
My trust in perception was worn pretty thin
I cried for adjustment; I tried to find God
I found rhyme & reason in the unspeakably odd

The truth of it all is without trust you fall
Into spaces that exist in our minds
At some point you have
To clear out your own path

You cry “yes” you cry “yes” you cry “yes”
“It all makes sense to me”
