Mike Posner - High Forever Lyrics

I meditate, do my breath work and micro-dose
I got this talent for makin' everybody close feel like they're not close
Genetic predispositions tryna pull me into bad habits
I turn my suffering into money, and that's a black magic
You know life is relentless, it's got ladders and shoots
But look at my long, long branches and my short little roots
Was listenin' to the album before the last album, the one everybody knows
It was full of songs like this, I guess I haven't really grown

You can't stay high forever
You can't stay high forever
When you hold too tight on to your own life
It'll eat you up alive
You can't stay high forever

I was readin' Camus yesterday at my Michigan place
My father's features were all over my face
And when I go through my personal history
I see victory mixed with liberty mixed with misery
Mixed with mystery, mixed with what my parents did to me (woo)
Maybe there's more trauma to unpack
You don't see me the way I see myself, and that's what hurts so bad
Tomorrow is a concept, nostalgia's a dead-end road
I'm haunted by the ghost of my twenties, he's with me wherever I go

You can't stay high forever
You can't stay high forever
When you hold too tight on to your own life
It'll eat you up alive
You can't stay high forever
