Addicted Youth Lyrics by Hemlock Ernst, Kenny Segal

Back At The House

2019

[Hook: Hemlock Ernst]
I was addicted in my youth
I was addicted to you
I was addicted too
I was addicted in my youth
I was addicted to you
I was addicted too
(I was a fiend)

[Verse 1: Hemlock Ernst]
You know some people never make it out
And some people never make it round
I fell into the bottom tried to make it out
I barely made a sound

I had to change my life so I could change my ways
I had to make a life so I could make a change
Someone told me once that I was all to blame
I still hand it to em, but I never changed

I just left the party and them fifty bags
A bottle of old crow and bargain rags
Took five or six years til I was walking steady
But in the corners of my mind I’d still find confetti

But that’s the difference in the facts of life
And what you ask the knife
I got an answer that I didn’t like
I had a question didn’t ask it right
So I asked the night

Some people always sell us out
Some people always let us down
And I could never set it down
And I’m unsettled now
Don’t let it take you out

Cuz If a part of me’s a part of you
And there’s a part of me that’s beautiful
Does that make you beautiful too?
I think you think it do

———————

You know I used to play the blame game
But this ain’t no boo thang no same same
I was a dust head no foul play
Moving that white girl for spare change

I tried to go and change what I never had
Tried to make change outta pen and pad
Tried to maintain, fill the laundry bags and the grocery bags
Be less afraid of silence and the violent drag

Cuz life just has a way of taking prisoners
And too many locked inside the physical
So many locked we've become cynical
And too many cops are simply criminals

And that’s a metaphor but its a true story
And the problem with our thinking in this room forming
When the the first thing we thinks, “what can you do for me?”

But there’s a part of me that’s a part of you
And there’s a part of you that’s beautiful
Does that make me beautiful too?
I think it do

[Hook: Hemlock Ernst]
I was addicted in my youth
I was addicted to you
I was addicted too
I was addicted in my youth
I was addicted too (uh)
(I was a fiend)
(Before I became a teen)
(I was a fiend)
(Before I became a teen)
