lyrics

I keep tryin' to let this life escape me
But despite my efforts
I persistently subsist
Then I find me another.
I regret some of the stuff but then
She says that she doesn’t.
She don’t love me but Nothing has ever come close to better.
Equipped with checkers in this chess game of traps and pits
And little pleasures didn’t think I’d come to hate so quick
Like when they take your shit all the way down to their stomach
And you know you won’t recover and that’s even if you wanted.
Now I can scream all I want in my room but gonna get what?
Now the only options that I see come from the back of my trunk.
Now that my soul’s become icy I’m coldly packin’ my blunt
While I’m in the back of my empty mind till my time is done up
Bag up a lunch of captain crunch and I head straight for the hills.
At least my mom’ll never find me unless she takes off her heels.
I got a hunch baby baby more than that if you feel,
Life isn’t here to make you happy, it’s here to see if you’re real.

Im ready but I’ll never find my way out.
I made it down to hell but it said not now.
I tried to help out the ways that I could but shit I touch turns to an ashy cloud.
Loud, loud are the sins of my youth and the proud. I can find you anytime I want stop playin around there’s a million of you layin’ on the ground

If you ain’t got death then bring me beers.
Don’t need respect kid give me cheers.
Lookin through my empty glass but don’t see peers
Another night has gone to waste just like these empty chairs.

I’m just tired of my soul, dude.
There’s only so many times i can say I told you.
I don’t like this livin’; life’s a prison
How am I supposed to win when my damn game keeps quittin’ huh?
Cuz I was about to jump. I was just about to run, I was about to switch-face swish-faze dunk, but it was just all a setup and it blew in my face, now will I ever get back to it or rediscover my paces?
I’m Too small for my Asics, long forgotten the basics.
Just one more sip of the good shit and I’ll remember my ways, kid.
4 hours more and I’m still lookin at the door, reminiscin’ on the times when it was tryin’ to hold our storms.
