[Intro: Kevin Abstract]
I don't know where I'm goin'
If I gotta take the high road, I'm rollin'
[Verse 1: Matt Champion]
I ain't tryna get like all up in your head again, Montana, 'Lanta
Maybe I should just go mosey my ass over to your house
Bewildered by the sight of you up on the couch, so cozy
Lowly lit lights, rosy cheeks, oh, you so cozy with somebody else
Get nervous, my stomach churnin', burnin'
I'm beat, ready to knock some teeth out of his ass
Late night corner, we pass
Lick that Swisher, get red
Used to skip rocks 'round that bend
We don't go there no more
We don't see sun no more
Baby wanna raid the whole apartment like the FBI
Takin' everything, from pots and pans to fans to Goldeneye
Everything 'cept the dog
Everything in the drawers
Used to be so perfect, but it's never gettin' solved
[Chorus: Deb Never, Merlyn Wood, & Deb Never & Matt Champion]
I'm sure I'll find it
No one help me when my eyes go red
I'm sure I'll find it
No one help me when my, no one help when my
I'm sure I'll find it
No one help me when my eyes go red
I'm sure I'll find it
No one help me when my, no one help when my
[Verse 2: Merlyn Wood]
Do I matter? I'm ecstatic, I'm depressed
More like God's special mess, never had no halo
Trippy, I can barely hike it out of bed
Time bomb under it, persuading you to hop in
Mmm, options, runnin' out of options
Mmm, options, used to have options
Mmm, options, runnin' out of options
Mmm, options, used to have options
[Pre-Chorus: Deb Never & Kevin Abstract]
I don't know where I'm goin'
If I gotta take the high road, I'm rollin'
I don't know where I'm goin'
If I gotta take the high road, I'm rollin'
[Chorus: Deb Never, Merlyn Wood, & Deb Never & Matt Champion]
I'm sure I'll find it
No one help me when my eyes go red
I'm sure I'll find it
No one help me when my, no one help when my
I'm sure I'll find it
No one help me when my eyes go red
I'm sure I'll find it
No one help me when my, no one help when my
[Verse 3: Dom McLennon]
Used to fight all my night terrors, now I smoke through the dreams
The pressure put me into places where I'm stuck in the seams
They sealed my mouth and said the only way to breathe is to scream
Pop the stitches from society and fall to my knees
The machines weavin' our fate are gettin' harder to please
But I believe to an extreme
(That we all can find a way)
To anybody listenin' that's in between
(That we all can find a way)
[Verse 4: Joba]
Went to church for the hell of it, stumbled in drunk as shit
Been goin' through it again
Been talkin' to myself, wonderin' who I am
Been thinkin' I am better than Him
In times like these, I just need to believe it's all part of a plan
Lost a part of me, but I am still here
[Bridge: bearface]
Wash it out of all of me to feel the fire (Maybe I'll be gone for a minute)
But you know, you know that's a lie (No one help me when my eyes go)
Wash it out of all of me to feel the fire (Maybe I'll be gone for a minute)
But you know, you know that's a lie (No one help me when my eyes go)
[Chorus: Deb Never, Merlyn Wood, & Deb Never & Matt Champion]
I'm sure I'll find it
No one help me when my eyes go red
I'm sure I'll find it
No one help me when my, no one help me when my
I'm sure I'll find it
No one help me when my eyes go red
I'm sure I'll find it
No one help me when my, no one help me when my

From an interview on Sway in the Morning:
Kevin Abstract: Our friend Spencer Ford [came up with the video concept]. He sent us a little video treatment which kind of did in a unique way, like made a video of the treatment so when you’re watching a video you know how the video is gonna look before y...
Yes. Kevin Abtract Tweeted out the lyrics for the track, but the post was deleted very quickly after.
The formatting of the picture is very similar to the ones Tyler, the Creator Tweeted out for his album, IGOR. This most likely isn’t a coincidence; Abstract has been open to the fact that both Tyle...
They’re like this ideal band. I was nervous the first time I went over to their house. I wasn’t really sure. I could tell they were close before meeting them, just because I feel like they have such a chemistry online and in videos… It’s like watching a beehive. Everybody has their job and understan...
