Eli Rhodes - Afterglow Lyrics

[Intro]
Numb to the world, but I still feel the pain
These pills make me float while I'm going insane
The afterglow hits when the high starts to fade
Another night lost in this chemical haze

[Verse 1]
Empty prescriptions scattered on my desk
Monster cans piling up, I can't get no rest
Mom's calling again, I let that shit ring
Can't let her hear me when I'm breaking down, breaking down
Writing these bars till the sun comes up
Chasing that feeling till my head's f*cked up
Marcus keep telling me I need to slow down
But these demons only quiet when I'm faded now

[Chorus]
Caught in the afterglow
Beautiful poison, let me go
Temporary heaven in these lows
Till reality hits and I'm back on my own
In the afterglow
Where my mind starts to overflow
With these thoughts I can't control
Beautiful poison takes its toll

[Verse 2]
Late night sessions, just me and these thoughts
Each line I write feels like prayers I bought
Synthetic salvation in orange bottles
Working class hero, yeah I'm living hollow
Every high shows me truth I can't face
Every come down leaves another trace
Of who I could be if I wasn't so weak
But this medicine's all that helps me speak

[Outro]
In the afterglow
Where everything moves slow
Till there's nothing left to show
But these words and this beautiful poison flow
