Pure Codeine

World moving fast, I'm moving slow
Watching the ceiling, watching it glow
Morpheus standing right in front of me
Offering choices that I don't need to see
Red pill for the truth, blue for the lies
But I got the purple right here in my eyes
Mixed it with soda, mixed it with ice
Paid for the numbness, yeah, I paid the price

Now everything tastes like sugar and chemical
My point of view is purely cynical
I chose the third option, I chose the haze
Navigating through the violet maze

Pure codeine, gravity is heavy
Hold the wheel steady in the Chevy
I saw the matrix, then I looked away
Doesn't matter if it's night or day
When you numb the pain, you numb the joy
Broken emotions like a plastic toy
It's all monotonous, it's all the same
Floating offline in a single-player game

Too much access, too much excess
Turning a blessing into a mess
Rich man problems, bored out of my mind
Leave the reality way far behind
People talking but the sound is dragged
My spirit is heavy, my body is lagged
Is it freedom or is it a cage?
Stuck on the sentence of the very same page

Pure codeine, gravity is heavy
Hold the wheel steady in the Chevy
I saw the matrix, then I looked away
Doesn't matter if it's night or day
When you numb the pain, you numb the joy
Broken emotions like a plastic toy
It's all monotonous, it's all the same
Floating offline in a single-player game

Red pill
Blue pill
Purple rain
Numb
