Eli Rhodes - Morphine Lyrics

[Intro]
Numb to the world, yeah, these pills make me float
Can't feel a thing when I'm riding this ghost
Mama's cabinet looking empty again
Wonder if heaven feels close to this, damn

[Verse 1]
White bottle paradise, prescription's my vice
Rolling through memories of cold hospital nights
Mama's hands trembling, reaching for relief
While I watched from the doorway, too young to believe
Found her stash when I turned seventeen
Now I'm swimming in that same morphine dream
Marcus told me "bro, you're going too deep"
But these demons inside never let me sleep, yeah

[Chorus]
Morphine dripping through my veins
Beautiful poison numbs the pain
Can't tell if I'm going insane
Or if this is just my family name
Beautiful poison in my brain
Watch me float away again
This medicine's my only friend
Till the darkness meets its end

[Verse 2]
F*ck what they saying, I know what I need
Every prescription's just helping me breathe
System's broken, they don't understand
Working-class bodies just breaking like damn
Inherited trauma flows through my blood
Mix it with opioids, turn pain to love
Looking in mirrors, I'm fading to ghost
Living on borrowed time, overdose close

[Bridge]
Sometimes I wonder if mama knew
That her little boy would follow through
Generation after generation
Chemical dreams for medication

[Chorus]
Morphine dripping through my veins
Beautiful poison numbs the pain
Can't tell if I'm going insane
Or if this is just my family name
Beautiful poison in my brain
Watch me float away again
This medicine's my only friend
Till the darkness meets its end

[Outro]
Just one more dose to make it right
Just one more pill to sleep tonight
Float away into the light
Till nothing hurts and nothing's right
