Name: Psilocybin
Duration: P00H05M07S
Description: This song was written about many things going in my life at the time. With the exception of the "sticks or stoned" line, I didn't include any lyrics about using drugs because I didn't want my parents to know that I was experimenting, so I named the song "Psilocybin," the psychoactive ingredient in magic mushrooms, to give my new-found drug usage a nod without incriminating myself.

about

This song was written about many things going in my life at the time. With the exception of the "sticks or stoned" line, I didn't include any lyrics about using drugs because I didn't want my parents to know that I was experimenting, so I named the song "Psilocybin," the psychoactive ingredient in magic mushrooms, to give my new-found drug usage a nod without incriminating myself.

lyrics

i know that you needed me
i wish i could need you more
you think i would want it all
but i wish i could just start off small
but you know how life can treat you bad
and you know how life can bring you down
i know you wanted that baby back
she'll never see her daddy again

I WISH SOMEBODY WOULD SET ME FREE
I WISH I WAS NOTHING LIKE ME
I WISH SOMEBODY WOULD LISTEN TO ME
I WISH SOMEBODY WOULD SET ME FREE

and inside is where it's kept
sticks or stoned doesn't mean a thing
i know i could have it all
i only wish i could just start off small

I WISH SOMEBODY WOULD SET ME FREE
I WISH SOMEBODY WOULD LISTEN TO ME
I WISH I WAS NOTHING LIKE ME
I WISH SOMEBODY WOULD SET ME FREE

and it seems i was wrong
just one step will get me gone
and it seems i could try

I WISH SOMEBODY WOULD SET ME FREE
I WISH I WAS NOTHING LIKE ME
I WISH, I WISH, I WISH, I WISH
BUT WISHES DON'T COME TRUE
NO, THEY NEVER DO
