[Intro]
Inhale... hold it... let it kill me gentle
Smoke curls, world blurs, nothing left to settle
Ganja promise freedom, but the chain just tightens
Puff by puff, I’m gone, fading into silence
[Verse 1]
Roll another coffin nail, spark it, watch the cherry bleed
Ash on my tongue like the taste of every deed I never did
Memories rot in the tray, gray flakes of yesterday
Friends turned ghosts, I ghosted first, now I’m the one who drifts away
High but the floor still drops, ceiling closing in
Lungs blacker than the thoughts I keep on pulling in
They said it frees the mind, nah, it just locks the cage
Same four walls, same war, turning another page
Of nothing
[Chorus]
Smoke it slowly, let it take me lowly
Weed in my veins, but the pain still owns me
Free? That’s the lie I keep on breathing
Puff after puff till there’s nothing left worth grieving
Slowly... slowly... fading out the frame
Ganja was the escape, now it’s just the flame
[Verse 2]
Blunt force trauma to the hope I used to carry
Paranoia blooms like resin, thick and extra scary
Eyes red as the regrets I drown in cloudy vision
Every hit a small submission to the great division
Between who I was and this shell that keeps on coughing
Lighter flick, another tick toward the box I’m boxed in
They said elevate, but gravity’s got a tighter grip
Pulling me beneath the smoke where broken dreamers slip
Into the void, paranoid, voice destroyed
Joint after joint, I anoint this self-inflicted wound
[Verse 3]
Midnight ritual, paper crinkles like dead leaves
Fill it with the green, pretending it still relieves
But the high peaks quick, then crashes like a wave
Wakes me in the same grave I dug to feel less enslaved
Mama’s voice echoes faint through the haze and the hurt
“Boy, put that down,” but the ground already swallowed her words
Now I’m talking to the smoke, asking it to take me home
Wherever that is-anywhere but this endless alone
[Chorus]
Smoke it slowly, let it take me lowly
Weed in my veins, but the pain still owns me
Free? That’s the lie I keep on breathing
Puff after puff till there’s nothing left worth grieving
Slowly... slowly... fading out the frame
Ganja was the escape, now it’s just the flame
[Verse 4]
Laced thoughts race, chase the dragon made of hemp
Every session’s a confession that I’m already spent
Coughing up my future in clouds of regret
Bet I’d quit tomorrow, but tomorrow never gets here yet
Bank account on E like my energy depleted
Dreams deleted, feelings anesthesized, repeated
Cycle spins, vinyl skips on the same sad groove
Move? Can’t move-roots of kush grew straight through
My boots, glued to the spot where ambition died
Now I just get high to hide from the low inside
[Bridge]
[inhale... long pause... exhale shaking]
It was supposed to set me free...
But the only thing that’s burning is me
[Verse 5]
Last roach in the tray, glowing like a dying star
Flick it away, watch it fade-same way I fade in the dark
No more lighters, no more papers, no more lies to spark
Just the echo of the high and the permanent mark
On lungs that gave up, on a mind that caved in
Ganja swore it’d liberate-turned out it’s the cage I’m chained in
Slowly... slowly... the smoke clears at last
Nothing left to inhale, no future, no past
Free.
[Outro]
Slowly... (slowly...)
Free... (free...)
Nothing... (nothing...)
Gone.
