2 & 3

(album: Cherryland - 2023)

Finding purpose in a false start
To be human is a selfish thing
But I paint it like it's high art
And it rhymes, therefor it's what I mean
Sharing serotonin kick starts
When in truth it is a selfish thing
And I'm trying hard to sound smart
When we talk about the weight of better days
Vine street Saturdays
Pretending the worst-case was growing up
And losing the person I thought I was

My head's always in the way
My heart's screaming don't you stay
But I'll have one more
On the fire escape, though I can't see straight
She's my saving grace, my constant state
Maybe I should make a change
Wasting this would be a shame, so I'll have one more
If it were up to me it would always be between 2 & 3
2 & 3

Herein lies the reason I've been staying out until the good part ends
As if something new will happen between us and all our same old friends
Maybe I should fuck my life up, then at least I'd get a song or 10
But a house somewhere way up
Where I'll talk about the weight of better days
Sunswept Saturdays
Maybe the worst case is I'll get rich and spend all my money on shit like this

My head's always in the way
My heart's screaming don't you stay
But I'll have one more
On the fire escape, though I can't see straight
She's my saving grace, my constant state
Maybe I should make a change
Wasting this would be a shame, so I'll have one more
If it were up to me it would always be between 2 & 3
2 & 3

Don't say it's over, don't say that it's over now 'cause I found
That when I'm sober I'm always afraid they're finding me out
Sunday lay on the ground
Wine stain kissing my mouth
I guess your boy's gone down
Spiral

My head's always in the way
My heart's screaming don't you stay
But I'll have one more

Now I'm 2 nights out from an issue
It's one way to deal with an apocalypse
Got a number, call that deliverance
But I hate my phone so I'm breaking it
All that I ever do is assess the risk
Hey boy, shut your mouth and deal with it
I'm scared half the time I'll die from it
But here I go again drinking it down
