Methadone

ABOUT:

My girlfriend, at the time, was hanging out with another dude just a few days after he slashed my tire. I wrote this song in a fit of rage in about half an hour. I knew this girl since grade school and had unrealistic expectations of being in a relationship with someone struggling with addiction. She is mad that this song exists and I don’t blame her.

LYRICS:

I’d rather be alone
Than take you to your methadone
Cherry syrup keeps you from feeling sick
Then you go and chill with your sugar daddy dick

I’ve known you for years and you’ve changed a lot
Your drug of choice is heroin and mine is not
Give me back my tripod when I come to drop your stuff off

Walking our dogs hand in hand
The public park suddenly turned into candyland
We lay on the grass, I watched you smoke
Nugget sniffed Sasha’s ass and I made a joke

Now I’m at home with my guitar
And I don’t give a fuck where you are
Give me back my tripod when I come to drop your stuff off

You can go down to the mission and score a balloon
Bring the happiness home and cook it in your spoon
Before you nod off be sure not to call me

I’d rather be alone
Than take you to your methadone
Cherry syrup keeps you from feeling sick
Then you go and chill with your sugar daddy dick

I’ve known you for years and you’ve changed a lot
Your drug of choice is heroin and mine is not
Give me back my tripod when I come to drop your stuff off
