James Dean Cotton - Gorilla Lyrics

I fell hard, anyone would
Doctor said "the pain would be good
And meanwhile, there's somebody you ought to know"

But it's so hard to get through the night
It's so dark, with only one light, like a
Monkey on my back, holding like he'll never let go

Everything changed in the blink of any eye

I draw the curtain so nobody sees
I ain't hurting nobody but me
Every minute's like a day, when there ain't nobody around
I keep busy, keeping that gorilla down

I been aching, and I'm not alone
In the church of oxycodone, and
I'm ashamed to say what I'd do for another lite
Wear a smile, while faking a cough, now
Doctor says, "I'm cutting you off." But
All I need is what I need to survive

Everything changed in the blink of an eye

I draw the curtain so nobody sees
I ain't hurting nobody but me
Every minute's like a day, when there ain't nobody around
I keep busy, keeping that gorilla down

No better, no worse, nobody's above
(No better, no worse, no better, no worse)
No better, no worse, like stuck in the mud
Swimming around in the dopamine flood

I draw the curtain so nobody sees
I ain't hurting nobody but me
But I'm down on the ground, like a dog, just digging around
I been busy, keeping that gorilla down
I keep busy
