Notes

The lyrics of the song Drug Test are;

You may have left your mistake with breakfast
Watching the sun go down
I've been lying awake till dawn now
I'm not ready to face that
I'm not ready to face that thing today

(chorus)
I wish I was high
Brighter than nothing
Smarter than nobody
I've wasted away

I think of the things that matter
And I think of the things that don't
Whatever it is no matter
I hate feeling the way i feel
I hate feeeling the way I feel today

chorus

I see myself with headphones on
I'm listening to Wake of the Flood
I'm listening to Wake of the Flood
now I'm high

chorus
