Wake Up - Madchild

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 quits

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
