I think escapism is necessary, and we all find our escape in different places, but some are just healthier than others.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The accompanying video shows the artist in different bathrooms at different parties, casually singing lyrics like \u201cI don\u2019t wanna do drugs anymore \/\/ If you saw me through the eyes of a bathroom stall \/\/ your skin would crawl\u201d and \u201cDamned if I do and bored if I don\u2019t \/\/ and I should get clean again but I won\u2019t.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a raw and real look at addiction and the way it can be the thing that makes you feel your best and your worst. With lyrics this honest and the excellent vocals to deliver them with, Baby Queen is an artist that you\u2019ll definitely be hearing more from in the next year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check out \u201cThese Drugs\u201d here!<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;
