Once Upon A Time In The Suburbs

(album: To Dream Beneath The Scorpion - 2023)

Am I losing my mind?
Am I losing my mind?
Maybe
Am I losing my mind?
Am I losing my mind?
Maybe

Once upon a time in the suburbs
The fog was thick and I was feeling twisted
I had a friend doing lines with a lover
And another was sick throwing up in the kitchen
We had Mac Dre on
We made a club out the living room, turn the bass up
We had Mac Dre on
Our sun was the moon, our day started at dusk

There was something about it that I think I loved, though
Something 'bout the fights in the street made the blood flow
Something about the lights from police when the sun rose
Seeing red and blue lights hit the blunt smoke
There was some kinda home in it
Like in the moment, drunk and stoned, we were owning it
Like we sunk so low we painted hell gold
And we faked like our wings weren't broken

Am I losing my mind?
Am I losing my mind?
Maybe
Am I losing my mind?
Am I losing my mind?
Maybe

Once upon a time in the suburbs
I found freedom in my cup of who gives a fuck
I was mending a mind full of gutters
With a dream I'd get inside through a doorway made of slime
We had Young Curt on
Get me fucked up, let's burn one
We had Young Curt on
'Till the sun's up, I'm another person

It's like I found suicide in the night
To grab another drink was to slide in the knife
To take another hit was a .9 to the mind
And I'd lie like boy, this the time of my life
So gimme that shot, yeah, I'm trynna get fucked up
Gimme a broad, yeah, I'm trynna get sucked up
I wanna be gone like one drip to the sea
'Till dawn, I'll forget that I'm me

Am I losing my mind?
Am I losing my mind?
Maybe
Am I losing my mind?
Am I losing my mind?
Maybe
