lyrics

I wanna sell you a drug that you'd like to take.
I wanna slide on my back on a frozen lake.
I wanna take a shot, courtesy of you
and where you're going to.

I wanna smoke 'til my eyes turn blue and grey,
soak in sun 'til my skin starts to peel away.
To decay like the paint on a pallet step,
buy a bag burn it back 'til there's nothin' left,
courtesy of you,
and where you're going to.

I have been told they are trying to save me.
I kinda think that's a little bit cocky.
I kinda wait for the rain and the fog
but it's a little too late to be so concerned.

I wanna take you some place that you've never been,
take a picture and post it and tag your friends,
blur the portrait from smoke blown into the lens;
make you mad, make you sad, make you make amends.
Courtesy of you,
and where you're going to.
