Madchild - Wake Up lyrics

Wake up in the morning and I drink my coffee
But now my girl knows I don’t like talking
Till I (Wake up)
She knows not to take it personal
Until I’ve had a cigarette
My mood is irreversible
That’s how it’s always been but
Things have gotten worse
Cause now for me to start the
Day I gotta pop a Perc
Started out for fun, it was purely recreation
But now my mind is on a permanent vacation
Lost my motivation, lost my inspiration
My mission every day is escaping from reality
Calling people back and paying
Bills a technicality
It doesn’t really matter cause I as
Long as I got twenty pills
A couple new movies and my girl
Comes to my house to chill
I even got her hooked for
A while when she asked, "How’s it feel?"
But she’s responsible, she passed that phase
Now people look at her like why
The fuck he act that way? I gotta (Wake up)

About three years ago we were doing
A show and we drank
Like usual cause we drink for
Every show and my homeboy asked like, "Hey
You wanna try a Percocet?" And I
Was like, "Okay, I’ll try it" He was like
"yeah you’ll have more fun" So I
Remember doing that show and it
Was just like BOOM it was like
Everything was so much brighter

You can ask anybody that does dope
The opiate is like utopia
It’s tough to cope with it
I quit for six weeks and do it for two months
The problem with that: I was
Just gonna do it once
One day turns to two into a week
Until I’m locked inside my house and
I’ve turned into a freak
Jump around my living room at
Five in the morning
With the music so loud you’d
Think that I was performing
And if that ain’t a warning
That I’ve gone too far
After shopping I can never seem
To find my car and it’s a shocking
That’s a fact and you’re
Walking forth and back
And you’re talking to your dogs and
Your dogs are talking back
And they are not even with you
They are back up at your place
Only to find you’re in your
Bathroom scratching at your face
And I’m trapped in outerspace
By then you’d figure it’s quit's
I fall asleep sitting up
With the cigarette lit, shit wake up

I started getting more like deep into it like
I’d do it for the weekends and
All of a sudden it’d be Monday I’d
Get high and then Tuesday I’d get
High and then I’d wake up in
The morning and say, "Fuck it
I’ll just keep
The blinds closed and get high from when
We wake up yo till six
Seven in the morning" And before you
Know it a month’s gone by

I’m acting like a clown but
Think that I’m debonair
I can’t dance but when
I’m stoned I’m better than Fred Astaire
With a voice like Sinatra, I really
Can’t sing looking in front of the mirror
Posing like James Dean
(Wake up) Come on, let’s get realistic
When I quit this shit I get real distant
And I don’t even look at my reflection
Sing? Shit I sound like a trombone section
Stoned I feel young, detoxed I feel old
Feels like my fucking heart’s
Gonna stop then explode
So cold I start shaking, my body is aching
Well that’s what I get for
Partying in the matrix
I got a problem let’s face it
While you listen to this
Song I’m probably wasted acting crazy
People looking at me like I’m a pyscho
Gotta give my a head a shake
It’s time to break this cycle
Need to (Wake up)

You know you think you got
That shit under control but
If I’m doing it every day how could I
Be having shit under control? You
Gotta be happy with
Life as it is with your mind clear
You know? It’s kind of
Crazy because even when
I think about like myself in the future
I think yeah I’ll have like a little
Secret room in my house and I
Can go escape for the night and get stoned
It’s kind of fucked up I guess
It’s like I’m incorporating getting
High into my
Future that’s probably not the best look
