They say I'm running from reality
But they don't know my reality
Their brain got serotonin flowing free
Mine's a fuckin' drought, a scarcity

They drink to forget, I smoke to remember
Who I am beneath the chaos and the pressure
Neurodivergent, different wiring
What calms me down got them perspiring


You see a demon in the mirror
I see God looking clearer
Same plant, different brain chemistry
What's your poison is my remedy


Different chemistry, different needs
You take your pills, I take my edibles
You numb yourself to feel less
I expand myself to feel everything
We're not the same
Don't project your shame


Alcohol sedates the self
Stimulants make you someone else
Cannabis just amplifies
What's already deep inside

So when you say you hate the high
What you really hate is
Being alone with your mind
I learned to love that silence


You see a demon in the mirror
I see God looking clearer
Same plant, different brain chemistry
What's your poison is my remedy


Different chemistry, different needs
You take your pills, I take my edibles
You numb yourself to feel less
I expand myself to feel everything
We're not the same
Don't project your shame


I'm not saying I'm better
I'm saying we're different
You need escape, I need excavation
You need forgetting, I need revelation


Different chemistry, different needs
Your medicine ain't mine
My sacrament ain't yours
And that's fine
Just stop projecting what you fear
Onto what brings me near
To myself, to my God
To the truth in the fog


To the truth in the fog
Truth in the fog
