Withdrawals - Tom MacDonald

The doctor said to talk to him

If I wanted to get off my meds

But I never called his office in

Poured the bottle in the garbage can

I’m stuck in this apartment and

I’m anxious like the cops are here

I tried to call, like, all my friends

None of them are answering

Is this the moment where I can’t control it?

Got no appetite, I guess the party’s over

I can’t sleep at night, and I keep rolling over

'Cause my skin is itchy and the paranoia

Got me worried, sick, and it is so annoying

I been throwing up, it looked like motor oil

But I chose to quit, and now I can’t avoid it

The right things to do are the hardest choices

Is this the moment when I need a donor?

Liver failing from the liquor pouring

All the room is spinning, it ain’t vodka, soda

What is almost killing me is being sober

Talk about pitfalls

Surrounded by brick walls

This is what kids call

Withdrawals

Deleted every number from my phone, I’m staying home

Really wish that I was drunk with all my friends

I’m gonna beat it or I won’t and overdose

Really wish that I was high with all my friends

I decay from therapies

My arrogance embarrassing

It isn’t fair to tear with this

Addiction place my parents in

I’m scared repair will never fix

The voluntary negligence

The wear and tear my errors did

They almost had to bury me

Is this the moment where I screw up and relapse?

Waste all my money on rehab

Can’t take a pill from the doctor to relax

Lash out in anger whenever I react

Feel like a weak man, I don’t wanna be that

Living every day to get a buzz on the weekend

I’m in the deep end, fighting with demons

Tryna stay clean, I just really need a reason

My bones are shaking and my hands and feet

I see my rib cage, but I can’t eat

I still wake up panicking, so I can’t sleep

I just sit in the bathtub and try to breathe

Talk about pitfalls

Surrounded by brick walls

This is what kids call

Withdrawals

Deleted every number from my phone, I’m staying home

Really wish that I was drunk with all my friends

I’m gonna beat it or I won’t and overdose

Really wish that I was high with all my friends

I’ve never felt this bad before

I don’t know if I’ll make it

Don’t have the strength to get off the floor right now

But I’m hoping and praying

My whole life I wanted more

This might be the end

But now I’ve had too much fun, it’s over now

I loved what I hated

Deleted every number from my phone, I’m staying home

Really wish that I was drunk with all my friends

I’m gonna beat it or I won’t and overdose

Really wish that I was high with all my friends

Deleted every number from my phone, I’m staying home

Really wish that I was drunk with all my friends

I’m gonna beat it or I won’t and overdose

Really wish that I was high with all my friends
