Drugstore Brand Lyrics

It's hot as hell in NY tonight

Got a rickety fan, just borrowing time

It's doing its job

'Bout as well as my life

Is doing for my peace of mind

I am among the luckiest ones

Cause I'm getting up every day

And making shit up

For a couple of bucks

Gettin' the man mostly paid

Though I gotta say that I thought it'd be different by now

Though I know it's my fault

I spent most of my 20s

Hating myself and wondering how

To find peace in the journey and let the dream change

Without expectation and nothing to make of my plans

And feeling like I'm just the drugstore brand

Well I've never been properly seen

Properly diagnosed

But I wonder sometimes if a PHD

Might say I'm lonelier than most

Don't know if I care, if I'm too cavalier

Mostly feels like an excuse

Cause some folks got God

And some got a pill box

Same prescription different use

Though I gotta say that I hoped it'd be different by now

Though I know it's my fault

That I don't learn my lessons right when they come

I save 'em for later

It might be self righteous that I want my favor to know

If the road really rises to meet her

In spite of my best laid plans

And feeling like I'm just the drugstore brand

The wisest of men say that you can

Change the worst of who you are

So how does one know what's to stay and go

With what's been working so far

I got a few tricks, I'm grateful for it

So without a crystal ball

How can you be sure if what you're signing up for

Is really any better than

Settling for just the drugstore brand
