Oxies and Roxies and Suboxies! Oh my! by Melodie Yvonne

Oxies and Roxies and Suboxies! Oh my!
Sometimes I think it’d be easier to die
But I just keep truckin’ along in this mess
Tryin’ to salvage each day and move onto the next

Oxies and Roxies and Suboxies! Oh my!
If I stop to think it’ll just make me cry
I’ve been living this life an I for an eye
Now I am trying to bury these terrible lies

My whole fucking life is just covered in piss
Like a hoe spraying GG’s mouth straight from her clit
I might as well jump in and get me a bit
’Cause I’m already writhin’ and drownin’ in shit

Oxies and Roxies and Suboxies! Oh my!
If I stop to think it’ll just make me cry
I’ve been livin’ this life an eye for an I
Now I am tryin’ to bury these terrible lies

I really wish that I could just die
But the money’s so good and it’s just one more time
Oxies and Roxies and Suboxies! Oh my!
At least I got friends here along for the ride

Oxies and Roxies and Suboxies! Oh my!
Sometimes I think it’d be easier to die
But I just keep truckin’ along in this mess
Tryin’ to salvage each day and move onto the next

Oxies and Roxies and Suboxies! Oh my!
If I stop to think it’ll just make me cry
I’ve been livin’ this life an eye for an I
Now I’m trying to stop or I think I might die

I just gotta learn how to swim one more day
Fuck Calgon, fuck me, and just take me away
Klonopin, Morphine, and Xannies, Oh my!
It’s not quite enough, but it’ll get me by…

Oxies and Roxies and Suboxies! Oh my!!!
