Looked down the hallway to the mirror noticed all those stretch marks from when I was 15 and I smoked too much weed. Those marks remind me of scars behind me. Now that I’m wiser I know it was just an opportunity to grow and be on my own but not alone. Those marks are mine and they don’t pay no fines. Ahhh I should’ve known better! I asked for sugar when I should’ve been making bread. I was afraid of my demons but now we’re hanging. Don’t want to be with you man, I want to be in the band. Now here’s a lighter toke, an antidote, for your ego's stroke. We are not prisoners just frays in the rope. Braid those frays, keep it all contained. I am a wise gal shoulda told you, woulda told you if you would’ve listened to me speaking about all my dreaming. Aw that’s okay, I only know my half of the half. Ahhh I should’ve known better. I asked for sugar when I should’ve been making bread. I was afraid of my demons but now we’re shaking hands. Don’t want to be with you man, I want to be in the band. I asked for honey when I shoulda been making that money. I wasted time riding shotgun with boys in their buggies. Deal me another hand, I wanna be in the band. Whatcha gonna do with those bees in your bonnet? Oh sweet Jesus, I think they’re hornets. Maybe you’ll get lucky and they’ll make honey. Give it to your monkey, it’ll be so nice 🙂 I asked for sugar when I should’ve been making bread. I was afraid of my demons but now we’re best friends. Don’t want to be with you man, I want to be in the band. I asked for sugar. I asked for sugar. I should’ve taken it, just like you took it.
