Illbert - Stress Relief lyrics

[Verse 1: illbert] Ugh, the only stress relief I got Was smoking pot, and thinking suicidal thoughts Thinking a lot, too much, my mind was torture Inspiring me to serve up lyrical hor d'oeuvres Tell me your order, I'll write it with a pencil Bring you your food along with some utensils All you see is my tarnished silver spoon glistening I'm spouting invisible wisdom, motherf**er are you listening? I'm whistling, lips pursed between each verse The worst is yet to come, my best is first I'm blessed but cursed with an unquenchable thirst To live a life different from the version I rehearsed With a burst from my pen I'll send you to the nurses As far as insurance I'm sure the psych ward reimburses But what's worse is my mind's hurtin' from this burden Absurdist voices in my head, I can't even get a word in Edgewise I'm paranoid, got red eyes and scared of noise Put me in a padded cell so I can't share this joy Beware this boy, I'm structurally unsound This is a one-way street, you better turn the f** around, now Unless you want to turn out like me With chemical imbalances and dependencies My bedroom reeks with the smell of Febreze and weed Cause of a need to be stress free like Candide Now I'm relieved [Verse 2: illbert] I've been to dark places, with no light through the window Climbed out of hell, now I'm living in limbo Define life as comedy, mock me I'm a wannabe Make no mistake for modesty cause I feel this way honestly There are positive times, like when I'm writing rhymes Of the sublime kind you'll find inside my mind It's implied by the lines I memorize That my brain's fried, that shouldn't come as a surprise I'm early to rise, wise, but not healthy Or wealthy, or stealthy, my mind is melting I'm the wicked witch, green with envy Nobody has the right advice to lend me Your ears, friends, Romans, countrymen When you give me all those things I'll be done hunting them I'm on a short-staffed football team called the punting ten If you don't get my jokes, say something then There I present a prime example One of ample chances I have to ramble on Cause I am the master and commander That's MC with an alternative timbre Don't tamper with me cause I'm the only evidence Of my residence here in the present tence Current events help me remember common sense My apathy is just a form of self defense Now I'm less tense
