lyrics

Scared

Why ya?

Memories is medicine
But Past make me reticent
I really need me Ritalin
or better yet some mescaline
If you’re scared then say that you’re scared

Cause future’s always tentative
And present’s always relative
Like birthdays with my
Missing presences was felt, scared
They say these the cards dealt, scared

But life ain’t a game
And I show ain’t a spade
And I show ain’t a slave
And we show ain’t the same
But I wonder?
What makes a card different besides the number?
Or between a Club and a Clover
Looking four luck in them L.A. summers
I remember my Ma in Dumb and Dumber
I remember near death in a Rover
I remember when she got sober
Then copped the same one in October
Same color, same color

Can’t smile at the past when I see it
Mistake my past as seen it
Cause what was ain’t what it really seem
Maybe pain is what I really mean
Or maybe gas what I really need
Too bad it turned me to a fiend
For weeks, dazed

With my Momma on oC-enia

I don’t know, no
Where to go, go
Protect my soul
Before I’m ghost
I’m gone, I’m gone
I was lost but I’m found, I think?
