Escaping From My Problems

Roll it up, light it, let the smoke cascade
Lost in the haze when my pain starts to fade
The world's too loud, so I find my retreat
In the clouds where my soul and my demons meet

Pressure on my chest like a boulder won't budge
Life's a trial every day and the judge won't budge
So I twist up the stress, let the papers ignite
Watch my problems dissolve in the glow of the light

This weed, my parachute, jumping out of my mind
Free fall through the smoke, leaving worry behind
Green got me grounded while I'm floating away
Time freezes in the puff, I'm just pausing the day

Calling nature's anesthesia, numbing my pain
Each hits a paragraph, I'm rewriting my brain
Clouds thicker than my problems, yeah, they linger in the room
But the high's my cocoon, let me bloom in the blue

I'm escaping from my problems, rolling up my fears
In the smoke, I find silence, drowning out the tears
Life's too heavy, so I float in the haze
High above the chaos, lost in the blaze

I'm escaping from my problems, blowing them away
Green therapy, yeah, it's my getaway
Every pulse a step closer to peace I crave
In this world of smoke, I'm finally saved

This blunts my confession boots, sins into flame
Every exhales a prayer, hoping life will change
I'm a prisoner of my thoughts, got no key to escape
But this cush cuts the lock, I'm free from the weight

Eyes low like my faith, but the highs lift me up
Lost inside the fog, I let the green fill my cup
Sipping on serenity, breathing out regret
Every toque's a gamble, but I'll take that bet

They say I'm running from my problems, maybe that's true
But this leaves my sanctuary when I don't know what to do
Call it therapy in motion, it's the rhythm of the burn
While the world spins fast, I just let the chair turn

I'm escaping from my problems
Rolling up my fears in the smoke, I find silence
Drowning out the tears
Life's too heavy, so I float in the haze
High above the chaos, lost in the blaze

I'm escaping from my problems, blowing them away
Green therapy, yeah, it's my getaway
Every puff's a step closer to peace I crave
In this world of smoke, I'm finally saved

This strange name freedom, yeah, it's breaking my chains
A temporary fix for these permanent pains
I'm Picasso with the smoke, painting skies in my mind
Every cloud's a masterpiece, one of a kind

But the high ain't forever and the problem still stay
So I keep rolling answers, hoping they'll fade away
Am I running or am I fighting? I don't really know
All I see is the ember glowing while they answer go

It's a vicious little cycle, but it keeps me afloat
Like I'm sailing through the darkness on a green leaf boat
Storms rage in my soul but the wind's in my lungs
And the smoke writes the verses that the pain left unsung

I'm a poet in the haze letting metaphors fly
Every hit's a lifeline when I'm drowning inside
Call a joint my telescope looking out to the stars
Trying to navigate my trauma with these resins and scars

I'm escaping from my problems
Rolling up my fears
In the smoke, I find solace, drowning out the tears
Life's too heavy, so I float in the haze
High above the chaos, lost in the blaze

I'm escaping from my problems, blowing them away
Green therapy, yeah, it's my giveaway
Every puff's a step closer to peace I crave
In this world of smoke, I'm finally saved

Yeah, the world's still spinnin' and the pain's still there
But for now, I'm suspended in this sativa-scented air
Roll it up, light it, let the flame take control
Smoking to escape, trying to heal my soul
