Control

Have you ever signed away your freedom 
Let some papers control you 
Because that dumb decision made you need em
 
They say drugs can take you from you 
But that’s all fake news 
I just need drugs so I’m normal just like you 

But I don’t need them anymore 
The want is still there though 
The want to taste the spores 
I’ll be locked up I know though

I’m a minor 
Can you wrap your head around that 
I don’t even know myself 
At seventeen 
I want my life back 

I’ve been the youngest
At NA meetings at least 
They’re in their 30’s and 40’s 
I’m still in my teens 
I have even got the chips 
The highest was one month clean 
People can go thirty years 
I barely go thirty days without LSD 

That’s not all though 
There’s a lot more to this story 
And trust me when I say 
That there ain't a lick of it that’s boring
