High Forever

I meditate, do my breathwork and micro-dose I got this talent for makin' everybody close feel like they're not close Genetic predispositions tryna pull me into bad habits I turn my suffering into money, and that's a black magic You know, life is relentless, it's got ladders and shoots But look at my long, long branches and my short little roots Was listenin' to the album before the last album, the one everybody knows It was full of songs like this, I guess I haven't really grown You can't stay high forever You can't stay high forever When you hold too tight on to your own life It'll eat you up alive You can't stay high forever I was readin' Camus yesterday at my Michigan place My father's features are all over my face And when I go through my personal history I see victory mixed with liberty, mixed with misery Mixed with mystery, mixed with what my parents did to me, whoo! Maybe there's more trauma to unpack You don't see me the way I see myself, and that's what hurts so bad Tomorrow is a concept, nostalgia's a dead-end road I'm haunted by the ghost of my 20s, he's with me wherever I go You can't stay high forever You can't stay high forever When you hold too tight on to your own life It'll eat you up alive You can't stay high forever
