[Intro] Pills scattered on marble countertops Mom's secret, now it's my cross Suburban silence screams so loud White picket prison in this crowd [Verse 1] Breakfast with Adderall, just like you taught me Perfect grades, perfect lies, that's how you bought me Newton streets lined with ghosts in Mercedes Same script different dose, shit's getting hazy Empty orange bottles tell our family story Generation medicated, morning glory Straight A's can't fix what's broken inside Like mother like son, guess perfection's our ride [Chorus] Prescription ghosts in the medicine cabinet Living life through a chemical lens, can't stand it Mom, I found your stash, now I understand Why you always had that shake in your hand Prescription ghosts, yeah, they haunt us both Swimming through life in a pharmaceutical boat This ain't living, this is floating by Designer drugs just to help us fly [Verse 2] Three pills before noon just to feel okay Crushing expectations every goddamn day Your voice memo at 3 AM tells the truth "Baby, I'm sorry, I gave this curse to you" CEO mom with her perfect smile Popping Xans in the bathroom all the while Now I'm trapped in the same fucking game Different doctor, but the story's the same [Bridge] Success is our addiction Better living through prescription But who the f*ck are we beneath? These ghosts won't let us breathe [Chorus] Prescription ghosts in the medicine cabinet Living life through a chemical lens, can't stand it Mom, I found your stash, now I understand Why you always had that shake in your hand Prescription ghosts, yeah, they haunt us both Swimming through life in a pharmaceutical boat This ain't living, this is floating by Designer drugs just to help us fly [Outro] Still chasing dragons in orange bottles Still trying to be what they want us to be But mom, I see you now I finally fucking see
