BLOODRUSH is track 3/4 from T R O P O - Vol 1. More soon
Depicting a tumultuous relationship with addiction, "BLOODRUSH" communicates the rush people seek to get through the day, without consideration of the consequences that follow. There is an acknowledgement of deep entanglement in what is a destructive cycle - feeling enslaved by the allure of drugs or other unhealthy coping mechanisms, as well as the casual culture surrounding them.

Lyrics:
It’s Gasoline and butterflies
It’s Cocaine mixed with summer wine (Addicted)
It’s sex inside a house fire, I’m burning up
They said it’s never meant to break you like that,
They said it’s never meant to make the good so bad,
Guess I’m a sucker for a broken romance,
It’s in the culture we’re dying in a slow dance
I fell in deep, a chemical love that I can’t trust
I used to breathe, now I’m just another slave to the blood rush
All my friends share the blame, been enabling each other’s pain
on our lips, every breath, can’t help wonder if we’re kissing
Wonder if we’re kissing death
And I know, I know, I’m picking poison
But it’s so, it’s so, hard to avoid when
I fell in deep, a chemical love that I can’t trust
I used to breathe, now I’m just another slave to the blood rush
I’ve forgotten I’ve forgotten how to breathe
I feel it in my skin it’s burning in my bloodstream
Always frustrated, agitated, on the low
But everyday it’s just a problem for tomorrow
I fell in deep, a chemical love that I can’t trust
I used to breathe now I’m just another slave to the blood rush
Now I’m just l’m a slave to the blood rush
I fell in deep, a chemical love that I can’t trust
I used to breathe, now I’m just another slave to the blood rush.
