lyrics

“To all the people who said I wouldn't last,
Don't make me laugh, don't make me laugh!” - Lil Sage
I'd give a twenty one gunshot salute
With the toy rifle that you bought me but it won't shoot
And all is well because there's been one too many shots
The sterile robots want to talk to me about detox
Stop the presses. There's been an update delivered via a 1:30 AM phone call When an only half-informative source talks discreetly
“Meet me at the family room on the side of the Intensive Care Unit”
Immediately I carry a tune, but the sirens are so loud I can't hear my music
Keep free of negative thoughts. Everything'll be fine we all assumed
That it would go back to the way things were. That it would go back to normal soon Saw the moon in a way that I never seen it before when I looked up that night
Into the sky, wondering why, looking for answers. Guess I ain't asked right
I'm guessing most of y’all out there know exactly what that's like
(What that's like)
Now tell me, what's that like?
It's like a whirlwind of emotions that occurs when moms and dads fight
It's like when a girl grins, an emotion of hers that holds your arm and grabs tight
Hurl him into the ocean. One of them cold sweat heat-flash types
But extreme fluctuations and temperature changes have been known to crack pipes... crack pipes...
Crackpipes
Meet me halfway and I'll go that extra length just to help your strength Meet me at the AA meeting, needing to take more than 12 steps
Bring me to your hiding place so I can face your vice grip
I'll chisel every single monkey off of your back with this icepick
Come meet up with me on the sidelines when the game is over just to say hello Then afterwards, backstage, to let me know that you enjoyed the show
And go to Grandma's house for Sunday dinner. Sit at the head of table
Take away the fatal flaw you made the day before I seen you bleed
Meet me on Christmas Eve. We can fight but make up before you leave Make visits with the rest of those who rest in pieces of my dreams
Meet me at the fork in the road where the lost souls get indecisive
Meet me at the crossroads so I can have someone to walk into the light with
