Brooklyn boy, born and raised, chopping lines
 
 hey hey, it's my birthday
 
 it's a toy I torched, a tarpit flame, a lockjaw night
 
 hey hey, it's my birthday
 
  
  dead end friends that make your stomach shake
 
 while your hissing head barrels down that blakened lane
 
 alone at last to figure how you got this way
 
 alone at last to figure how you got this way
  
 
 charcoal clouds spot and spray, they kill the sun
 
 hey hey, hear its back break
 
 so I can never tell night from day
 
 or right from wrong,
 
 hey hey, you're my headache
  
 
 your silver tongue it masks your hungry hate
 
 while your haggard heart whispers through its cracking cage
 
 you still can change, you have to know, you still can change
 
 I know, I know, for now I wanna be this way
  
 
 this was a choice, this was never a mistake
