NEFFEX
Sober
[Verse 1: Josh A]
We got a problem in America
Too many people dying, yeah, but we don't really care enough
Addiction through the roof, but way too caught up in hysteria
Too busy on our phone to see the problems in our area
Man, I don't wanna preach but everything's been getting scarier
It's easy to ignore a problem 'til they got a barrier
Big Pharma's getting rich they're probably thinking it's hilarious
While people out here dying, man, it's feeling so nefarious
Been through it all myself, I wouldn't wish that on nobody else
Everyday was hell, but I was lucky that I found help
But most don't get a chance to overcome it and escape
And some just ending up beside a grave
Some just swallow pain and keep on carrying that burden
Inside 'em and they don't wanna let their family down
They suffer in silence, until their mental health's declining
But they gotta keep climbing
I'm writing this for ones that won't let all their problems
Define 'em, I see ya

[Chorus: Josh A]
So, can I get my soul back?
I'm sick of being someone I don't wanna be
'Cause I been such a letdown
I let all my friends down
I just want a way out of my darkest days
I just wanna know when all of my pain will just be over
'Til then I just wanna be sober
[Verse 2: NEFFEX]
I need something to get me out of this reality (Help)
Feels like a dream, no, a nightmare drowning me (Help)
I look around I feel like everyone surrounding me (Help)
Doubting me, anxiety is peaking, heart is pounding, please (Help)
I need a change in my life, from pain and the strife (Help)
It's draining me out, could blame my own lies (Hey)
I tell myself that I'm pretty much worthless (Help)
But that ain't true, just haven't found my purpose (That's right)
I got this, I could come back (Help)
I'm alive in this world, it ain't so bad (Hey)
I'm not saying that life's not hard (Hey)
You're covered in scars, but still you didn't fall apart (Hey)

[Bridge: NEFFEX]
So, don't give up on your dreams (Hey)
I know it may seem like your splitting at the seams (Hey)
But if you're the hero in this film
Everybody likes a comeback story to tell

[Chorus: Josh A]
So, can I get my soul back?
I'm sick of being someone I don't wanna be
'Cause I been such a letdown
I let all my friends down
I just want a way out of my darkest days
I just wanna know when all of my pain will just be over
'Til then I just wanna be sober
