4 in the morning, my body depleted
No energy, external source needed
Chemical balance stained by addiction
Nobody noticed, social expectation
Entitlement rooted deep in the zeitgeist
Slave to the mermaid, her milk is overpriced
Don't talk to me til' I've had my coffee
It's not an option, living caffeine-free
Headaches and shivering, heartbeat chaotic
Overdose on ginseng, drown in taurine
Scraping out the grinder, morning narcotic
A constant reminder, hooked on caffeine
First I pop the tab
Then I spread my wings
Compulsion to stab
Enrage my heartstrings
The can drops with a clang
My blood pressure now peaks
Your head cracks with a bang
I've been awake for weeks
All you losers weak and overstimulated shut the fuck up. You suffer from addiction, dependence on a drug just to rise from your bed, imbibe bovine red
Nerds amassing in your lame-ass coffee shops attracting the worst. The air is choked with flannel and there's fuck-all to be discussed in the dull conversation amidst the congregation, no information worthy of retention
10 in the evening, my mind is a-jitter
Ignore the doctor cuz I'm not a quitter
Don't talk to me once I've had my coffee
I'm now a monster, stranger in my body
Skin stretched tight and pallid, muscles decay
Veins melting from acid, price of the bean
Dentine reduced to ash, eyes bleed frappe
Impending final crash, death by caffeine
