Lyrics: 
I’ve been fighting this shit, longer than I’ve known ya 
I’ve been praying on moments that never seem to happen
Follow your steps, follow your words 
Say I never deserved the ones I love 
You got me out of here
Promised a life of ecstasy and roses 
Turned me around to sewage water and poison
Don’t know what I’m saying 
Don’t know why I needed 
To do what I’m doing 
On my knees and pleading 
Don’t know why the blood is coming out of me, rapidly 
I wanna go home but now this feels like a tragedy
Don’t wanna be here in the morning when the lights come on 
Mistakes of the night before waking up to my alarm 
You tell me everything’s fine, but it’s really not 
You got me on this tightrope that I can’t walk
(I can’t walk)
Don’t know how I’m losing versus all these feelings 
All the things your saying, tryna give it meaning 
Don’t know why the lights went from glowing to flickering 
It’s like a blink where everything goes missing
I’m breaking down the pillars you put up to save my shit 
Talking to rubble, arguing over whose listening 
And here I go, you should know 
You should know
I’m an introvert, except when I’m feeling like an expert 
Good luck stopping my mouth, words 
Come out like sucker punches
Outta nowhere, in the silence, outta mind 
Choose your poison, choose your life, I’ll choose mine 
Mixed opinions, about my brain, you’re outta time, you’re outta time
Don’t wanna be here in the morning when the lights come on 
Mistakes of the night before waking up to my alarm 
You tell me everything’s fine, but it’s really not 
I’m hanging off this tightrope that I can’t walk
