lyrics

Man, you’re dumb as hell, but i love you till the end
Breaking the terms of your probation again and again
Jumping that truck into the ocean
A local legend for sure

You were at times a tragic figure
A loaded gun with a hairpin trigger

Born trash, always gonna be trash
You can’t have a future because you’re caught up in your past
Born trash, always gonna be trash
I used to have high hopes
The ones I had a slipping fast

Brett:

Some luck you make but that’s some luck you had
The junk was good the fentanyl was all bad
The ones inside watching the world burn out
Won’t shake your hands - afraid to get germs on them
It’s crazy how quick shit gets normalized
One day you’re burying your friend
the next you’re fearing for your life

You were at times a tragic figure
Your band got big, but your habit got bigger

Born trash, always gonna be trash
You can’t have a future because you’re caught up in your past
Born trash, always gonna be trash
I used to have high hopes
The ones I had a slipping fast

Me:

King of the world
Top of my game
That’s how I felt
There’s something deeply wrong with my brain

Big plans gone up in smoke
I started pawning off everything that I own
Watching momma hold back tears as she learned
Her son was a criminal

I was at times a tragic figure
A loaded gun with a hairpin trigger

Born trash, always gonna be trash
You can’t have a future because you’re caught up in your past
Born trash, always gonna be trash
I used to have high hopes
The ones I had a slipping fast
