Twin Size Mattress- The Front Bottoms

“There’s an amount to take, reasons to take more” - these lines play over and over (”on repeat in the back of my mind”), haunting me every morning and night as I take the definitely unnecessary amount of medications prescribed to me for my ‘mental illnesses’, debating whether or not I should take an extra adderall today or an extra clonazepam tonight. I hate being on so many medications, especially because of the zero signs of improvement I have seen since I had started taking them.

However, later in the song I am brought to peace- “this is for the lake that me and my friends swim in, naked and dumb on a drunken night”- as I am taken back to some of the many unforgettable nights of me and my friends doing exactly that- drunkenly swimming in a lake, (well the Potomac River actually). I even drop my phone in the water at one point, breaking it instantly, but I do not even care because of the pure bliss I am already feeling at the time. I do not think that there is any level of sadness that cannot be cured through getting drunk and skinny dipping with two of your best friends.
