[Verse]

And drugs are cool at seventeen, by now I might just overdose

Better choices pressuring, but I'm too fucking sober though

Moms I'm in the mezzanine, how set you'd be

If I was one who stole the show

You're not here for lecturing, I hold my own

Clouded mindset, blurred perspective

Doubt my conscience heard the message

Found my eyesight through detection?

Are you blind yet? I could question

And every night I wake up in a casket made of gold

Mistress made of plastic on her mattress made of stone

I find her attractive, it's too bad she has to go

Back home to her dad's house, I'm a bastard and he knows


[Chorus]

My mother thinks I'm crazy, my brother thinks I'm nothing

My father thinks he'll save me and they'll laugh when he doesn't

To assure me my safety, I stay far from the public

And I do this shit daily and do not try to rush it

My sister asks me "Brother, why you being so quiet?"

I can't tell her I'm fucked up, I tell her I'm just tired

Been up two nights on substance and that explains my mindset

Why the family loves us and why my drugs expire


[Bridge]

And why my drugs expire

How come my drugs expire

I can't feel love; too tired


[Chorus]

Yeah, and my mother thinks I'm crazy, my brother thinks I'm nothing

My father thinks he'll save me and they'll laugh when he doesn't

To assure me my safety, I stay far from the public

And I do this shit daily and do not try to rush it

My sister asks me "Brother, why you being so quiet?"

I can't tell her I'm fucked up, I tell her I'm just tired

Been up two nights on substance and that explains my mindset

Why the family loves us and why my drugs expire


[Post-Chorus]

And why my drugs expire, and why my drugs expire

I can't feel love; too tired, I'm stuck inside my mindset
