When they read you your rights
My dead head took flight
I took the night off and felt guilty about it
On the drive home I shouted
Fuck
Down and outta luck
Stuck
Trying to trust my gut
Lit a fire under my ass
But I only sat and burned
Waiting for my turn
Insanity defined
My best friend dropped a gem
That stays on my mind
Life is just a ride
Lost in America, trying to survive
Capitalism wants to kill everyone I love
Happiness is a warm gun
A hole in your head
A call from the feds
The burden piles
They’re still in denial And I’m still a child
100 miles and running
Comfortably numbing
Sun in and sun out
Life’s like boogie nights, if they took all the fun out
You’re strung up and hung up The first cut is so deep
You end up living on the street
Asking me for cash but I’m broke
Your face showed no hope
Nasty habits got you down
The weight of a frown
The first time I saw a sad clown
In the Wawa parking lot
It was dark and cold but your hell was hot
You made me lie to your sister
Your family was worried
I thought the next time I see you, you’d be buried
Sprinkled with fairy dust
The king of dreams, life as a teen shouldn’t be so rough
You got a girlfriend and knocked her up
Tried the pennyroyal tea
Everything ain’t what it seems
Praying to a god you don’t believe in to get clean
In and out of rehabs
The same scene rehashed
Love’s gonna get ya
Wheeled off in a stretcher
And your son looks just like you
I was done wanting to fight you
And whatever demon was inside you
I was done being lied too
I had my own issues and vices
I was done being your sidekick
We grew up and went our separate ways
And I’m glad we both were saved
