Hard drugs under the sunshine, 
Like feeling sick with a ‘get well soon’ sticker. 
I’m gonna get what I said, 
Sicker, 
Sucks. 
I wonder why I’m even still alive, 
I feel like the ceiling and the room’s spinning. 
Life’s tough enough living, 
I blunder blind through the nights, 
When I feel like healing I come up with some new bad business. 

My momma’s face seems beautiful, 
Bet my dad was lying. 
Life felt better when I thought he was dying, 
Those were colder summers too you know, 
But nothing better than being happy in the darkest times. 

In my dreams I got feet that glide, 
Swinging like fruit, 
Spinning around, 
Weighted side to side. 
I wanna hang out slightly above the ground, 
My dirty soul flies high, 
Sprout wings, 
Eclipse the sky,
But the roof was the limit to my goals.
