Southern California Heat Wave Lyrics

Uncertain of this path I've been led down

The heavens are loud yet I'm lost somehow

Patiently waiting for the next excuse

On why I can't do what I'm used to doing

I'm grasping onto what's left of me

Alas hopeful path narrowed into a lonely street

An empty cold da sak with no homes to retreat

I'm incomplete, tired at defeat

There's no more hope to reap

Keeping faith feels beneath me

And I'm hardly at peace

When it's all that I need

Release my heart from its cages

Feeling useless, dumb, complacent

I was smoking dope in his basement

Getting high on complications

Ruined my life

Home life's vacant

Think I need a vacation

A little pre-suspection

Recollection

On how was I elected

Cause I can't take it

For this life

Cause I'm barely hanging on

In this life

I'm trying to make it on

And they say to keep strong

And keep faith

They tell me to keep weighing my gains

I'm just tryna keep my cool

In this Southern California heat wave

I'm just trying to keep it chill

Chill

Chill

Been through this before

I know how to deal

Deal

Deal

Mmm

Tell me to keep strong

And keep faith

They tell me to keep weighing my gains

I'm just tryna keep my cool

In this Southern California heat wave

So chug it down

Chug it down for me

I'm drowning out in all this Hennessy

Cause that's all that there's left of me

I don't know what I'm drinking

But I can't stand thinking

This pain I can't seem to ignore

A quick sip turns into a bottle

A quick sniff turns into a pipe

And I don't know if I deserve my life

Someone take away this right

Cause I can't take it

For this life

Cause I'm barely hanging on

In this life

I'm trying to make it on

And they say to keep strong

And keep faith

They tell me to keep weighing my gains

I'm just tryna keep my cool

In this Southern California heat wave

I'm just trying to keep it chill

Chill

Chill

Been through this before

I know how to deal

Deal

Deal

Mmm
