A folk rock tune all about a bad trip leading to existential dread wrapped up with some nice organ and well worded poetic lyrics!!

lyrics

When all the smoke that they pass around finally hits,
But you got nowhere to sit,
And the rising tide has you second guess,
What it is that you're trying to express,
Would you kindly be such a guest?
Help me, help me get it off my chest?
As im only trying to catch my breath
Just trying to catch my breath

And when all the words well they stop making sense,
But they use to float so lofty, and delicate from your lips,
As a sun that sets,
And you ask yourself, how did it come to this?
As you turn and try to retrace your steps,
But you just find yourself in a bigger mess,
And you just kinda have to deal with it,
Yea you gotta' deal with it

And when you're so disinterested that you can't even speak,
And your mind seems stuck on repeat,
And your tired eyes, peeled back, open wide, care for no one to meet,
As you're shuffled out into the crowded street,
Kicked in the teeth by society,
Force-fed the rules although it's plain to see,
The two-headed snake of hypocrisy,
Thats poisoned the veins of humanity,
Hard pressed to know what any of it means,
When faced with the ditch, or eternity,
And you just kinda really need some sleep,
Yea i could use some sleep
