There's a pressure on my ears I can't see straight, it's a maze There's a laugh by my side I don't get, I'm in a daze Don't worry little brother I'm not sick, it's just a phase Mommy's fingers twine through mine Through the window, and the bars I feel the calloused palm And below it, brush the scars It's alright my daughter A year isn't very far I'm so tired of this place I need a beer, a bong, a toke I need some sweet liquour Some weed to hit or smoke This way I don't have to think That's better, now I get that joke Officer I'm not drunk I'll pass the test, and walk the line Don't worry precious baby Mommy's gonna be just fine The drugs have taken over And the darkness, starts to shine I'm about to fade away Friends and family, they don't care Hey mom sorry to pry Do you have some pills to spare Reemember to take just one Or badly, you will fair I tip back the plastic bottle And fly away, into the air
