[Verse 1]
This lighter donât work, no
No flame to spark my goal
My Nikeâes laced in dirt, oh
I ve ended up treading on my own soul
[Verse 2]
My headphones only working on the left side
But I try, to live the right life
My eyes wide, and I strive
To stop my demons gripping, ripping from the inside
This road is dark and I canât find the batteries for my flashlight
Iâm blind eyed and Iâm tiiiiiiiiiired
[Chorus]
Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Aah Aah
Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Aah Aah
Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Aah Aah
[Verse 3]
These drugs don t work
The pain it takes control
A blood-stained shirt
I feel like I m always being chased by the devil
[Verse 4]
I tried to talk but I canât seem to get my spoken words right
And I t-t-t-t-t-t-try to keep my stutter light
And this life it can be ish right, cut you like a flick knife
Twist and make you sick riiiiight
And I think maybe Iâll be better off alone
So I redirect the calls from my phone
I learnt so many lessons from depression
But in essence Iâm just wishing that these bad thoughts were gone
[Chorus]
Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Aah Aah
Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Aah Aah
Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Aah Aah
[Verse 5](palm muted chords)
Sometimes I bleed, sometimes I crawl, sometimes I slip, sometimes I fall
Sometimes times my back is up against the wall so hard that the whole building could fall
Sometimes I bruise, sometimes I break
Sometimes Iâm true, sometimes Iâm fake
Sometimes Iâm hoping for a moment when the floor would just start opening and swallow me for goodness sake
And I think Iâm gonna break cause I ache and itâs bait Iâm awake in a world full of pain superman no cape
And Iâm pressing the breaks but the breaks they break and Iâm driving my universe into a lake
And the weight, the weight of the world donât wait
We make mistakes when itâs all at stake
We cook our cake we eat our cake
Sometimes no time for double takes but
(Accapella)
N.C.
Thatâs just the way life goes sometimes
N.C.
But I donât want to end up in the gutter being battered by my troubles
N.C.
face down in a puddle where the sun donât shine
N.C.
So Iâm coming and giving it back, upon the track and attacking âem
N.C.
Stacking up beats like I did with this one I pack it in
N.C.
And Iâm praying, oh lord take this pain away
Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Aah Aah
Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Aah Aah
Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Aah Aah
I m blind eyed
