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
