LYRICS:
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

LYRICS:
Oh, I feel like I made it outa hell
Like I’d been living in somebody else’s shell
It was like no choice I made was my own
It was like my mind was a slave
to somebody else’s hopes
So this is me setting me free
This the scene where the sunshine - it covers me
And to anything or anyone who’s cut me deep
I’ll say this with a gun up to your cheek

I’ma press undo
On all you’ve said
On all this blood
I’ma reclaim what you took
With every breath
Left in these lungs
I’ma let myself live good
(Live good)
(Live good)
(Live good)
I’ma let myself live good

I’m not what you say
I’m a bouquet
I’m a soufflé with a fade
I’ve gone Dufresne through the mud
And yeah, I’m Bruce Wayne with the pain
but if you’re playin’
I can be a villain with a cape on - woo!
I don’t got a limit to my name
I’ma kill it like I’m living in a dream as I’m making it up
‘Till I’m in a villa with a maid sippin’ lemonade
I’ma turn pain into pay and a view

I’m feeling my light
I’m feeling awake
You can’t take what’s mine
I don’t think about you
I’m feeling my light
I’m feeling awake
You can’t take what’s mine

So I’ma press undo
On all you’ve said
On all this blood
I’ma reclaim what you took
With every breath
Left in these lungs
I’ma let myself live good
(Live good)
(Live good)
(Live good)
I’ma let myself live good

I’ma let myself live good
I’ma let myself live good
I let myself live good

Live Good

LYRICS:

No one gave me shit
I worked for this
At this point I’m just
done with encouragement
You say talented
I say calluses
I’m tasting my blood just pronouncing it
Since Fairfield days
The beats I made
I may have quit drinking but dream the same

I was told this the moon
Like good luck, Mr. Rocket Shoes

And they ask me why you workin’
All days of the week
To get somewhere you’ll never reach

I’ve been wishin’ for better so long
I guess I’m sick of wishing in by bed alone
If those wishes were weapons
Their full metal jackets are stuck
So fuck wishin’, I’m here with a gun
Jiminy Cricket never made me anyone
All my clips are full of bitterness
And I’m coming for you
I’ma bloom like a wicked magnolia

I’m not stoppin’ this
Just the opposite
I won’t drop when most people need oxygen
Since the green Lexus
Since the weed excess
Since the drink was my treatment for depression
Man, my lips been blue
Fuck what stitches do
I’ll put red on this mic like it’s ’92

I was told this the moon
Like good luck, Mr. Rocket Shoes

And they ask me why you workin’
All days of the week
Toward something you’ll never be

I’ve been wishin’ for better so long
I guess I’m sick of wishing in by bed alone
If those wishes were weapons
Their full metal jackets are stuck
So fuck wishin’, I’m here with a gun
Jiminy Cricket never made me anyone
All my clips are full of bitterness
And I’m coming for you
I’ma bloom like a wicked magnolia

Until I’m taken by weeds
My will is my leprosy
Instead of wounds that scrape the sheets
I’ve got no turn back in me
So set glass beneath my feet
Take the last breath that I need
To meet what glows beyond my reach
I’ll become a tragedy

There’s is no hell that spells retreat
Fuck your gravity
This to the grave
This to the grave

Lyrics:
Oh, I can see the ocean
Oh, I can see these chains fall off of me
Oh, I can feel the breeze
Oh, it's like change has called for me

I feel like I've done some healing, baby
These scars they're all sealing, baby
See I don't trip about much that's a waste
I think about the love I can make
I think about frosted flakes
I'll scream it out loud now-a-days
Life's got sprinkles, cupcake

Everything's sweet
Everything's sweet
Everything is
Sweet like chocolate cake
Sweet like chocolate cake

I'm feeling this emotion
It feels like my winter's passed
I feel the sunshine at last
I used to be hopeless
But those days is done
I'm hearing your feet won't fail you son

I feel like I done some healing, baby
It's like I've got no ceiling, baby
Yeah, I got a limp and fractured face
And with a fat lip I'll say, shit
Tat it on my fucking face
Nothing you can do to me sticks
I can make sugar out of bullshit 

Everything's sweet
Everything's sweet
Everything is
Sweet like chocolate cake
Sweet like chocolate cake
