Name: Hell is Dull
Duration: P00H03M04S
Description: This song was written when I found myself compulsively going back to certain behaviors and having to jack up the intensity of the experience in order to continue enjoying it. I started to miss the simpler moments and wondered if I would be able to go back to them or whether I was condemned to continue searching for a bigger stimulus.

lyrics

Seems like once I get a taste
Then the flavor starts to fade away
Just as soon as I get high
I’m no longer satisfied by it

I keep pushing the limit
I get a little carried away
I can’t seem to help it
Nothing hits the way it should

Hell is dull
The devil tells me I’m no fun
Cuz when he pokes me I just shrug
I must admit that I feel numb

I get bored with what I have
I need something more extravagant
If I’ve had it once before
Then I want a higher dose, honey

I have got a blister
On my trigger finger
Honey, hit me harder
I can’t seem to give it up

Hell is dull
The devil tells me I’m no fun
Cuz when he pokes me I just shrug
I must admit that I feel numb

Hell is dull
The devil tells me I’m no fun
Cuz when he pokes me I just shrug
I must admit that I feel numb

Hell is dull
The devil tells me I’m no fun
Cuz when he pokes me I just shrug
I must admit that I feel numb
