[Intro]
Pill case open
Sink light buzzin
Hands still shakin
Heart keeps jumpin (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Missed one dose
Then I missed three
Now the walls crawl in
Like they know me
Doctor talk calm
Say, "You’ll feel strange"
Didn’t say my thoughts
Would break their chains
Every shadow sharp
Every word a blade
Every old hurt
Got a new upgrade
Mama on the phone
Hear it in her tone
She can tell my mind
Ain’t really home
[Chorus]
I been comin off the meds
Feelin like a loaded gun
Smiles sittin on my lips
Barrel pointed at someone
I’m a danger to myself
And anybody that I love
Don’t leave me on my own
Don’t trust me with my blood
I’m a danger, I’m a danger
When it’s drippin from my veins
When the filter fall away
You don’t wanna see my brain
I’m a danger, I’m a danger
When I’m dancin with the edge
Hold me tight or walk away
While I’m comin off the meds (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Teeth grind hard
I can taste steel
Every quiet thought
Tryna cut a deal
Voices in a choir
Singin all wrong keys
Tell me I’m a curse
To the ones I need
Texts I never send
Drafts full of rage
Love letters flip
To a wanted page
Catch my own eyes
In the cracked screen glare
Say, "You’re not well"
But nobody there (nah)
Door still locked
But I lost the key
Every safe habit
Tryna run from me
Friends talk soft
Like I might blow
I don’t even trust
Where my hands might go (go)
[Chorus]
I been comin off the meds
Feelin like a loaded gun
Smiles sittin on my lips
Barrel pointed at someone
I’m a danger to myself
And anybody that I love
Don’t leave me on my own
Don’t trust me with my blood
I’m a danger, I’m a danger
When it’s drippin from my veins
When the filter fall away
You don’t wanna see my brain
I’m a danger, I’m a danger
When I’m dancin with the edge
Hold me tight or walk away
While I’m comin off the meds
[Bridge]
If I call late night
And I sound alright
Listen to the gaps
Not the words I write
If I say, "I’m fine"
That’s the red flag wave
I’m beggin you to see
I’m not feelin safe (hey)
[Chorus]
I been comin off the meds
Feelin like a loaded gun
Smiles sittin on my lips
Barrel pointed at someone
I’m a danger to myself
And anybody that I love
Don’t leave me on my own
Don’t trust me with my blood
I’m a danger, I’m a danger
When it’s drippin from my veins
When the filter fall away
You don’t wanna see my brain
I’m a danger, I’m a danger
When I’m dancin with the edge
Hold me tight or walk away
While I’m comin off the meds (yeah)
