Drugstore Brand Video (MV)

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
