LYRICS

Suicide's on my mind but not the sad type...
Suicide's on my mind but not the sad type...

I wanna kill the part of myself that don’t work no mo'
The part of my skull that ain’t paying rent no more
Like Herman’s head gotta get em out of my brain house   
These thoughts shape-shifters wearing a blue blouse 
A grey cloud follows me wherever I goes drought
No rain except the pain growing in my mouth 
I fell inside a mirror after eating some booms
Started feeling kinda funny everything is cartoons
In the gut of a reindeer chewed and consumed
Pissed out onto the earth baby womb in a shroom   
Reborn unicorn but my heart stilled scorned
That’s when I faced the evil ego eagle monster with horns 
Talons shred through me, now my insides in her palms
Then I woke up face down kissing the lawn 
My head stinging ringing, God sound the alarm
Wish I had a magic relic holy grail or a charm 
To help this monkey brain understand what is going on 
All I see is red dawn with a napalm sky 
Voices in my mind screaming telling me I should die!
Or am I misinterpreting the messages from the other side?

Suicide's on my mind but not the sad type...
Suicide's on my mind but not the sad type...
Suicide's on my mind, yeah...but not the sad type baby
Suicide's on my mind, yeah...but not the sad type

I wanna live my life without the lies and foolish pride
These devils trying to drag me down and take me for a ride
Each day I’m hearing voices boomin’ from the other side
My inner monologue on repeat talkin’ suicide (repeat x2)

VERSE 2

Second verse, just as trippy as the first
Curse all our enemies with megahertz bursts
Flashing five, two, eight, while cruising in a hearse
We don’t really know why Los is obsessed with death 
The things that he wants usually manifest
But his way of being fills his body with stress
So noisy in here from the breath of his air
We are the voices from the other side we want out of this sphere
(Why?)
Cuz blunt-smoke makes his vision unclear
Pollutes the atmosphere plus stomach flooded with beers 
We’ve been waiting for years through the blood and the tears 
And ocean of fears sweating out of Los ears
To break free from this mold and shed this flabby body
Find a higher purpose instead of hopping hobbies
He came a long way though from sniffing blow in a lobby
Who the hell is this now?
(It’s the soul named bobby!)

Suicide's on my mind but not the sad type...
Suicide's on my mind but not the sad type...
Yeah!

Suicide's on my mind but not the sad type...
Suicide's on my mind but not the sad type...
Suicide's on my mind, yeah...but not the sad type baby
Suicide's on my mind, yeah...but not the sad type

I wanna live my life without the lies and foolish pride
These devils trying to drag me down and take me for a ride
Each day I’m hearing voices boomin’ from the other side
My inner monologue on repeat talkin’ suicide (repeat x2)
