As explained in an article by Consequence of Sound, this song explores a time in Zac’s life when, after his wife and unborn child’s death, he overdosed three times in a month.
*“I remember the first time I overdosed. I was just like, ‘What the fuck happened?’ and my drug dealer was like, ‘You were...
I wake up in the morning and I feel it in my knees
Toss and turn inside my bed
And all the shit that's in my head
Kickin' and I'm screamin' that I got a disease
Anything to get a fix
And hurry up, let's make it quick
I just wanna feel
I just wanna feel
I just wanna feel
Something real
Baby it's a problem that I can solve myself
Come on man, just lend a hand
Tell me what my five year plan is
I know
Yeah, I know
Yeah, I know
I have to go
I have to go
I have to go
I have to go
Now I'm stuck waiting in a parking lot again
We can do this in the car
Or we can do this at the bar
Doesn't matter to me, I just wanna get that blend
Yeah I'll take another drink
And throw up in the kitchen sink
Drown all the voices that are stuck in my head
Tried to do the therapy
But that didn't work for me
Really gonna try not to overdose again
Consider what I'm up against
And I don't think it's gonna hurt deep
Yeah, I mean
Yeah, I mean
Yeah, I mean
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I'm just gonna crawl back inside my bed
I'm just gonna stay stuck inside my head
And I just wish that I was dead
And I just wish that I was dead
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
