When I imagine myself on acid
I take steps backwards
If time comes to lap itself
Being dazzled by the round
Of silent thoughts who had the crown
Don't-don't-don't-don't let life pass yourself
When I imagine myself on acid
I take steps backwards
If time comes to lap itself
Being dazzled by the round
Of silent thoughts who had the crown
Don't-don't-don't-don't let life pass yourself
I could've got a job at McDonald's, but I like curly fries
That's a metaphor for my life, and I like taller guys
Could've got a deal if I wanted, but I like ownership
And I like making shit, and I like selling it
Could've peaked when I was in high school
But I had bigger plans
Could've took the time out my to find you
But you ain't understand
You gotta leave for them to find you
Cause what would you demand?
When everyone out to define you
Without a circumstance
Anybody got Harry Styles' phone number?
Okay, I called him and they said I got the wrong number
I was trying to be popular when I was younger
Dreaming of better days
I don't see my mom no more remind me
Of bad weather days
If you got a problem with me, try some other guy
I let you know I'm a dog, I ate the cat alive
But really though, I'm alone 'cause I don't stick around
And yes, I know it's my fault, so put your finger down
I would keep this shit pent up if it weren't for my mom
If it weren't for the job, yeah I know it's a lot
Guess it's not every month
Should've opened up my mouth more
Show them what my fist for
Let 'em get a fistful, caught up in the lust man
Bred from the legs of straight killers on west end
Black eyes, bloody sheets, damn where yo' fist at?
You should get a new crown, maybe some more things
I love it when the people go wild for me
I love it when the people go wild for me
I love it when the people go wild for me
Keep it wild for me, wild, wild for me
I love it when the people go wild for me
I love it when the people go wild for me
I love it when the people go wild for me
Keep it wild for me, wild, wild for me
Baby, I been trippin' off, go tie me up and send 'em off
And I been on mission for it, I just want my own apartment
I just want a space with my old best friend
Lock me in your cellular, won't elevate again
Baby, I been trippin' off, go tie me up and send 'em off
I been on mission for it, I just want my own apartment
I just want a space with my old best friend
Block me in your cellular, won't elevate again
I'm a shit head son, and I'm bad at growing up
I'm a shit head son, and I'm bad at growing up
My life ain't been the same
Since my dog died, since my girl left
I quit drinking and drugging and still can't get ahead
Been at a loss for words
It seems I'm destined to fall apart when I'm depressed
It's all a test, scream at God from my bedside
I glue my hands together, life's got me hog-tied
There's no applause in the game of life, I just bought a car
And a new house, here's the cost to prove it
I spin a little wheel when I'm feelin' moody
And that's like all the time, try not to mind the clock
Because my heart is ticking I smoke a pack a day
And I wish I didn't, having some trouble quittin'
I have a couple vices, we had that show on Viceland
I was hardly in it, most the time I'm hidden
Anxious and patient
And always wanting something different
I hate the way I'm feeling
I'm sick of chasing feelings
Baby, I been trippin' off, go tie me up and send 'em off
And I been on mission for it
I just want my own apartment
I just want a space with my old best friend
Block me in your cellular, won't elevate again
Baby, I been trippin' off, go tie me up and send 'em off
I been on mission for it, I just want my own apartment
I just want a space with my old best friend
Block me in your cellular, won't elevate again
