Deja Vu Lyrics - Eminem

Artist: Eminem

Album: Relapse (2009)

[Verse 1]

As I fall deeper into a manic state, I'm a prime candidate for the gene

To receive the drug at a trait

Blood pressure climbs at a dramatic rate

I seem to gravitate to the bottle of nyquil then I salivate

Start off the night with "I think I'll have a taste"

Couple of sips of that, then I gradually graduate

To a harder perscription drug called valium like yeah, that's great

I go to just take one and I end up like having eight

Now I need somethin in my stomach 'cause I haven't ate

Maybe I'll grab a plate of nachoes and I'll have a steak

And you think that with all I have at stake - look at my daughter's face

Mommy something is wrong with dad I think

He's acting weird again, he's really beggining to scare me

Won't shave his beard again, and he pretends he doesn't hear me

And all he does is eat Doritos and Cheetos and he just fell asleep in his car eating three musketeers in the rear seat

[Chorus]

Sometimes I so feel alone, I just don't know

Feels like I been down this road before

So lonely and cold, it's like something takes over me

As soon as I go home and close the door

Kinda feels like deja vu

I wanna get away from this place, I do

But I can't and I won't

Say I try but I know that's a lie, because I don't

And why? I just don't know

[Verse 2]

Maybe just a nice cold brew, what's a beer

That's the devil in my ear - I been sober a fucking year

And that fucker still talks to me, he's all I can fucking hear

Marshall, c'mon, we'll watch the game, it's the cowboys and buccaneers

And maybe if I just drink half, I'll be half buzzed for half of the time

Who's the mastermind behind that little line?

With that kind of rational, man I got half a mind to have half a glass of wine

Sounds asinine

Yeah I know, but I never had no problem with alcohol

Ouch! Look out for the wall

Aim for the couch - about to fall

I missed the couch and down I go looking like a bouncing ball

Shit must of knocked me out, 'cause I didn't feel the ground at all

Wow! What the fuck happened last night?

Where am I? Man, fuck am I hungover and god-damn I got a headache

Shit, half a vicodin, why can't I?

All systems ready for take off - please standby

[Chorus]

Sometimes I so feel alone, I just don't know

Feels like I been down this road before

So lonely and cold, it's like something takes over me

As soon as I go home and close the door

Kinda feels like deja vu

I wanna get away from this place, I do

But I can't and I won't

Say I try but I know that's a lie, because I don't

And why? I just don't know

So I take a vicodin, splash, it hits my stomach then ah!

Couple of weeks go by and I need it like I'm getting high

Now I need just to not feel sick, yeah, I'm getting by

Wouldn't even be taking this shit if DeShawn? didn't die

Oh yeah, there's an excuse your loose pussy you use

There's new rules, it's cool if it's helping you to get through

It's 12 noon, ain't no harm self-inducing the snooze

What else is new? Fuck it, what would Elvis do in your shoes?

Now here I am, three months later, full blown relapse

Just get high until the kids get home from school homes, relax

And since I'm convinced that I'm an insomniac

I need these pills to be able to sleep so I take three naps

Just to be able to function through out the day

Let's see, that's an ambien in each nap, how many valium, three?

And that would average out to about one good hour's sleep

OK, so now ya see, the reason how come, he

Is taking four years to just put out an album, B

See me and you we almost had the same outcome ...

Cause that Christmas, you know the whole pneumonia thing?

It was belogna, was it the methadone ya think?

Or the hydrocodone, you hide inside your pornos

Your VCR tape cases, with Ambien CR

Great places to hide 'em, ain't it?

So you can lie to Hailie

I'm going beddy-bye with you baby

Goodnight Elanna!

Go in the room and shut the bedroom door

Wake up in an ambulance - they said they found me on the bathroom floor - damn...

[Chorus]

Sometimes I so feel alone, I just don't know

Feels like I been down this road before

So lonely and cold, it's like something takes over me

As soon as I go home and close the door

Kinda feels like deja vu

I wanna get away from this place, I do

But I can't and I won't

Say I try but I know that's a lie, because I don't

And why? I just don't know
