Recorded at Secret Studio in Columbus, Ohio

lyrics

The cocaine dealer across the street
makes more money
than anyone else in the neighborhood.
I think that says something
about the state of things.
Like maybe times are bad
for feeling good.

$53 dollars in my bank account.
If I ever get the opportunity to sell out
I’m gonna kiss it long and deep on the mouth
I’ve done the struggle so good
I made it look
like I was dancing.
While I was standing
on the side of your highways for hours at a time
thumbing for a miracle that would never arrive

I don’t want to be poor anymore
I don’t wanna be poor

I wanna try that expensive toothpaste
they keep on the top shelf at the grocery store
buy my mom a really nice birthday present
Not have to add water to the shampoo bottle anymore

I haven’t seen a doctor since I was 16 years old
I’m probably gonna die by catching a cold
Money may not buy happiness
But it does buy comfort
And a little bit of comfort could go a long way
In keeping the monsters of my mental health at bay

A zip lock bag full of dirty coins
To get me through a week
My cheeks go red with shame
As i pour it into the machine
I’ve done things that I’m ashamed of
for 9 dollars an hour
Sometimes it’s embarrassing
Just being alive

It’s been four years since we’ve been able to unlock the cars passenger’s side door
