"When you become an adult, it can be difficult to keep up your regular, day-to-day routine with a smile and thus, we might resort to new habits in place of functioning like a real-life person. Enter: coffee! For a while, I was relying on my daily dose of roasted bean juice to simply feel something and then realized I was not only burning a hole in my pocket, but also my brain in a sense. Once I figured that out, I made the idiot mistake of quitting cold turkey and subsequently caused myself to endure a week-and-a-half-long migraine, and yet... I was healing. I don’t knack on anyone who currently has a caffeine addiction like I once did, but through having one, I later learned how to live for the sake of living again rather than because I felt like I had to." - Sage Viscovi (Lead Vocals)
lyrics
Feel the burn of growing pains
With caffeine running through my veins.
Ruined by these mental stains,
You rub it and it still remains.
It used to make me quiver like the lips that drank it down,
But now that I’ve grown older, it’s my favorite way to drown
These hopes that live in my head.
The ones that have always been left unsaid.
Dreams now crushed into grounds.
Couldn’t quit if I tried, all the bitterness from inside
is the only fuel I need on days when I forget to breathe.
Plastic cups line the floor, can’t say if it helps anymore,
But it sure snaps me back to reality.
Feel the burn of growing pains
With caffeine running through my veins.
Ruined by these mental stains,
You rub it and it still remains.
Now here’s your wake-up call,
So swallow every moment before losing it all.
(Losing it all)
So meet me in my memories.
Through the steam, you can see them so blurry.
Losing all their vibrancy, forgetting who I used to be.
Hypnotized to this liquid,
Scalding hot, yet so truly insipid.
Hit the bottle for the irony.
Couldn’t quit if I tried, all the bitterness from inside
is the only fuel I need on days when I forget to breathe.
Plastic cups line the floor, can’t say if it helps anymore,
But the blood rush tells me that at least I’m not so weak.
Spilling all over this tabletop,
Watch it weep until its final drop.
Feel the burn of growing pains
With caffeine running through my veins.
Ruined by these mental stains,
You rub it and it still remains.
Now here’s your wake-up call,
So swallow every moment before losing it all.
