_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] I'm not gonna wait just to see what's next.
I [F#m] go hard because today could be my last breath.
We do [Bm] life and we can relive it.
_ We only get one chance.
If [F#m] you blink, then you might just
miss it.
_ _ Many people come [G] and go, they all just visit.
Don't ever expect nothing different.
Just [Em] listen as I paint this image that you'll all [F#m] revisit.
Yeah, my glass half [D] empty, but I still
might [Bm] sip it.
I was traumatized.
_ _ What would you have said when you was [F#m] looking in my mama's eyes?
Nothing.
Yeah, I might have said I was [G] okay, but I'll probably lie.
So this pain is how I harmonize.
Making impact, [Em] that's what I personify.
And yes, I'm making music that you [F#m] cannot just define by
numbers on my Spotify.
[Bm] All of this pain, I just want to be happy.
Mom almost died the same day
that she had me.
[F#m] Driving to the hospital, she's swerving crash badly.
Doctor said I was a miracle
while looking at my daddy.
[G] I was zero when I first dodged death.
I was six when the devil told me
watch my step.
Couldn't [Em] sleep.
I was scared to go inside my bed fighting [F#m] demons.
I was hearing things
[D] inside my head.
So [Bm] back to the doctor, he didn't have a diagnosis.
_ So my whole damn [F#m] life, I felt
lost while fighting psychosis.
Talking to myself, hoping nobody would notice.
[G] Mom said pray every
time I heard the voices.
Life or death, every day I swear I made choices.
[Em] Life in my hand, trying not
to lose focus.
Playing [F#m] basketball [D] religiously to drown out the [F#m] noises, man.
[Bm] Let me explain that
it's like laying on train tracks.
Grabbing guns, contemplating blowing your brain back.
[F#m] Eyes closed,
shut, watching everything fade black.
People stepping over you, you feel like a placemat.
[G] Fuck.
And let me make it clear.
God is the only one that I've ever feared.
But you [Em] start to get
paranoid and look over your shoulder when these [F#m] people have been hurting you for [D] so many years.
So I [Bm] had to escape.
If you listening, I know that you relate.
It's that feeling that you [F#m] get like
your life and existence was all just one big mistake.
I felt trapped and I [G] couldn't find space.
I went and got lost in the things I'd create ever since I was a kid.
People [Em] hated and they judged
everything that I did.
So I went [F#m] into my mind and [D] created the abyss.
Man, I [Bm] swear I did.
How the hell
y'all think I make all these hits?
It's because [F#m] I've been broken, beaten, dragged, laughed at, scorned,
burned, and kicked.
So [G] I get to read in this endless pit of hurt and pain from all that shit.
And that's [Em] the only reason that you people come here.
Oh, for [F#m] God's sake, even though that Dax
exists, this [Bm] is how it feels to drown.
This is how it looks when you lost and you can't be found.
The
abyss [F#m] was a place I'd visit, but I went so much that I'm gone and I'm stuck here now.
This [G] is not
music.
This is not dope.
This is me begging y'all to throw me a rope.
So I can [Em] try to climb up the
place where I came in my life [A] when I spiraled and first [D] lost hope.
Let [Bm] me explain.
_ I've been Dax so
long I get PTSD [A] when somebody says my real name.
_ But I guess that's the [G] price you pay.
I didn't
want it to be like this, but I [Em] guess it is what it is [F#m] inside _ [Bm] the abyss.
