Impaired Judgement - Ugly Heroes

Boy: That’s really dumb

Girl: What?

Boy: Drugs, taking drugs

Girl: What do you mean?

Boy: You said drugs can hurt you, how do you know they can?

Girl: How do you know they can’t?

Boy: How do you know they can?

Girl: How do you know they can’t?

Boy: How do you know they can?

«Do what you wanna do»

We do this to forget

Every single day we’re dealing with that same shit

Only thing we know, try to take control

Can’t see it on our own

Damaging our souls

And so

Yeah, teeth are clenched

Bob Marley in the boat

Mama hates me

Rock back and forth in the fetal pose

Can’t speak English

My back’s so heavy

Mouth’s on the tank’s spout, take a lethal dose

Vomit in my hat

In my lap

Chase around a rat

It’s my cat?

Man fuck that

Seems bad

Yeah, middle of the street blasted

Cops throw me on the hood of the Caprise Classic

Chess with Jason

Chest brazen

He less patient

Steve King verse Wes Craven

Less saving

More God please, shaking soda wet

Scared to death and Gilbert Gottfried

Stopping at the green light, nap in the whip

Rear end a Pontiac, a fat gash on the lip

One last little sip of 'shroom tea

At a stranger’s front door

Must’ve grabbed the wrong room key

I told myself I’d never follow in the footsteps

And head straight into that liquor store

I used to wonder what she did it for

How could you hate your life enough to never straighten up

Was it that dad didn’t make enough?

Cash and you made it up

Some kind of sob story you wrote the ending for

You didn’t have the lives of others so you ended yours

And I know you didn’t mean it

How could you have seen

What you do would have you leave before I exited my teens

They say it’s running in my genes

We love to love what hates us

If life is nothing but a dream then I should wake up

Look at the damage that I’m doing

I’m managing and functional

But slamming cans of rum and Coke

My habits of an average 21 year old

Am I an addict or manic trying to fucking cope?

And I tell myself I shouldn’t

It’s always on my mind

So I head up to that liquor store to grab another pint

Because
