lyrics

hey what's up
it's been a long time with no talk
and I've got a couple things to say,
like I know it's not nearly fair,
the ways that we've made each other pay
or the way, I wake up every day
in control of my body and most of my brain
and most of the days I feel okay
it isn't fair, the things you gotta let them do to you
it isn't anything but tragic, the things you gotta take
call it selfish, we want to take you alive
if not happy, then whole
for now
I wanna see you see 25

I've been smoking every day to keep a foggy lid on the edge of my brain because when I don't the things I say get people scared and they drift away, do you need help? Well I don't know, dude. I thought getting fucked up in your twenties was just like something you were supposed to do.

I don't talk like I used to, I don't speak to the people I used to, I still get high the way we used to, but I don't do a goddamn thing anyone tells me to. Something bad is coming, but good things follow close behind, my friend assures me. If you don't get yours, we can share mine.
