about

written in 2015. started as a funny song about weed. slowly morphed into a sad song about weed. all in all it's a song about weed.

lyrics

I put a copy of Stuart Little 2 in my DVD player.
Turned off all the lights in my room
And I got super high.
Then I thought about all the people in my life.
And how I wish I never had to say goodbye,
but it all brushed through my head.
'Cuz I was super high.
I tried to write a song in my head.
But all of the thoughts that I had were dead
Just like the person that I had met when I looked in the mirror last night.

All of the moments and the memories we shared,
I have forgotten because I do not really care.
And all of the people that were important in my life,
well they're now dead, like my friends, my cat, and my ex-wife.
And all of the folks, I forgot what they said.
'Cuz there's smoke all around me and my eyes are bloodshot red.

To be or not to be, I think that was said by Bill Murray.
Or someone, I can't remember a thing.
But it doesn't matter, 'cuz I believe that I am truly nothing.
And I've spent all my money on these drugs,
that I don't even have enough to buy a gun.
Is this it?
Maybe when I perish I'll truly be someone.

All of the moments and the memories we shared,
I have forgotten because I do not really care.
And all of the people that were important in my life,
well they're now dead, like my friends, my cat, and my ex-wife.
And all of the folks, I forgot what they said.
'Cuz there's smoke all around me and my eyes are bloodshot red.
