about

This one's a rather fun song, but it also has a little bit of a "Don't do drugs, kids" message to it. I've been a medicinal marijuana smoker since July 8, 2015 for bipolar disorder, insomnia, and anxiety. I don't support recreational use though. And I don't like stoners too much. A lot of them just sit around and do nothing but get high all day. That's where the aforementioned message towards the end comes in; the line "I will never be like you" is a message towards those types of people. While being a medicinal user, I also want to be a productive member of society and work for the things I need.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
I look in the mirror and I hate what I see
An emaciated douche staring back at me
Lost too much weight and I want to get it back
So I inhale the herb and tilt my head back
The leafy Joker venom gives me what I need
It gives me the urge to get up and feed
Just get me back to my normal weight
Starving all the time fills me with so much hate

[Chorus]
I want to smoke a bowl
I want to light that green on fire
Take me back to Gotham’s asshole
Where I can burn a funeral pyre

[Verse 2]
4:20 in the afternoon
I hit the vape so I can eat something soon
I’m so baked; do you dare me to drive?
I gotta go to work and I’m fucking high
Wait a minute! My hotspot doesn’t work!
What am I going to do today, you fucking jerk?
Not a damn thing except drive home high
Will this be the day that I fucking die?

[Repeat chorus]

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
I hate myself and want to die
I’m sick and tired of living a lie
This is not the life I wanted
Fuck it all; I’m going straight-edge
Not gonna die in a wreck tonight
But get in my way and we’re gonna fight
I refuse to be the man that I hate
I can’t remember when I ate

[Outro]
I will never be like you

Joker Big Bear, California

We all can go insane with just one bad day. And I've had plenty of bad days. Then after going to the 2019 Harvest Crusade down in Anaheim and rededicating my life to Jesus Christ, I decided to use my songwriting to please God. I was tired of getting stabbed in the back so many times and playing in certain bands that never went anywhere. This project is me letting go of my past. Enjoy the ride. ... more
