Quell the Shellshock by Aero Bolt [Verse 1:] Quell the shellshock instantly. Quell the shellshock, what a sight to see! My best friend killed right in front of me. What an unneeded lesson in gun safety. Quell the shellshock with the drink. Quell the shellshock, I can't fucking think. I would've died too, if it weren't for the pink, but run away from problems — all your brain does is sink. Accidental overdose is still suicide. I watched death throes and OD'd five times. Brooked depression as a form of self-expression. Hooked on something I forethought was numbing. Ignorant of what the shit would do. I knew — damn right — I was a motherfucking fool. The internet gave me all the tools, but I took no heed and let the Benadryl rule. 2021 I fleshed out a dream. Drive a big truck — that's the life for me. Haul oversize — six figures guaranteed. Then PTSD stole it away from me. When Seth died all I did was get high, but diphenhydramine makes you so seizy — think you're just delirious, up in the sky. One day your broken brain's getting EEG'd. While in my head I was back in the car. Grabbed the .38 next and shot Vince in the heart. When I look up my fiancée's weeping worse than when my mother saw me really seizing. I was in a bed thrashing at the ER. These last fourteen months really've torn me apart. Pseudoseizures and PTSD from the Benadryl and Vincent's idiocy. [Hook:] Bi Skutō auk skautai. Hertô mīną ne hailijaþai. In Bragnai brekai Frijōnd, ne fragebazai. Vincentius necārī dēbet. My Friend's a fool. God fucking damnit. Just had to pull a Pulp Fiction scene with thrice as much blood drenched across the seats! [Verse 2:] Man, I miss the hell out of you, Seth. A true friend beyond all the alc and dex. Only friend I talked to every fucking day. You were always there when I was in pain. You believed in me when I hated myself. Said "There's a reason [I] still be. The Earth kept [me] around.". You talked me down from loading those shells. All things were well when we'd hangout. You'd respond to pessimism with encouragement. "If you got a problem with the world why don't you go change it?" And even though you're gone I still hear you, dawg, from the back of my car telling me to keep on. I know — damn right — if I die soon My soul'd have to hide when you fly through. I won't let you down, my brother, I promise you. Both feet to the ground, all my best, I'll stay true. It took me so long to even process it. A whole fucking year til the memories were clear. Numb for a month til the worst set in. You ain't here now AND you'll never be here. Every single day will be the same. Every single week will be the same. Every single month will be the same. Every single year will be the same. You're dead, I'll never see you again. Gorefest, shot by our own friend. You're gone and my whole life's ahead. You're gone, I lost my best friend. For the rest of my life you'll never be here. Gotta pour out a drink while I shed a tear. If I never met you I'd be the dead dude. I swear I did my damndedest to try to save you! [Hook (literal translation):] I was also shot by the shot. My heart's not healed. I'm broken in the brain. Friend, you're not forgiven. Vincent should die. My Friend's a fool. God fucking damnit. Just had to pull a Pulp Fiction scene with thrice as much blood drenched across the seats! [Hook (singable translation):] That shot had me shot too. My heart ain't healed. Fuck you. My brain has broken, too. Forgive you, friend? Fuck you! Your negligent use deserves a hanging. Vincent's a fool. God fucking damnit. Just had to pull a Pulp Fiction scene with thrice as much blood drenched across the seats!
