[Em] This a warning for the ones who say they aren't afraid
Lately I've been [F#m] coming from a darker [Em] place
I've been [F#] dealing with depression, I'm more dangerous than [Em] ever
I've been drinking again and never felt better
I swear to God that I'ma burn a bridge and piss on the flames
Mix the ass with some whiskey and spit [F#] it all in they face
[Em] My new girl probably flip if you got something to say
She reminds me of myself when I would [F#] drink everyday
I [Em] used to feel like how I felt was just a temporary phase
But now I feel like the feelings are fucking feeding off fame
And I don't plan to slow down or give it a second to breathe
I push the pedal past the breaking point of picking up speed
In 2016, I swear I [F#] came apart at the seams
I [Em] was scared of the dark and [F#] therefore afraid of my dreams
But [Em] I rebuilt what came [A] apart with iron, alloy [N] and beams
I'm flying a plane into my legs and I won't fall to my [Em] knees
Haven't taken any pills to calm me down for a month
I'm on the edge and I'm waiting for [F#] any reason to jump
[Em] Don't take it lightly, I'm excited [F#] when they throw in the punch
I got [Em] a list of different strategies to bury these [F#] bumps
[Em] Very rarely do I carry out a weight of a grudge
But I've been barely ordinary since the prairies and drugs
My imaginary friends in camouflage with some guns
And I've been fairly military but my army is one
They've been passive aggressive with [F#m] how they deal with my message
They lack [Em] the passion and reckless nature of truthful expression
They ain't made of what I'm made from, they've been bruised up and dented
They don't understand the underheaded, ruthless obsession that I was born with
[F#] Slam like the door sticks, closet [Em] full of skeletons so heavy
Couldn't move them with a forklift
Your bitch probably fell in love cause you forced it
Now she bump my records while you deep inside a porn binge
I woke up with a buzzing in my head, I don't wanna leave the comfort of my bed
A dozen missed calls from a dozen of my friends
And my day just started but it's coming to an end
Already getting [E] dark, wake up with the [F#] stars
I don't even know [Em] how I got home after hours
[F#] Yeah, I did [B] eight months sober and I hate that it's over
But the weight on my shoulders started [Em] breaking my heart
I started out with one or two [F#m] and then I moved to three or [Em] four
And then I realized that [A] I was back where I had been [Em] before
At a [F#m] van's gone missing from the bottle
Tell [Em] my doctor they were stolen but I know that they were swallowed
Everything I [F#] ever did was always done with open [Em] throttles
All the way or nothing, non-commitment is a broken promise
And I know that that's a problem in itself
But you're living or you're dying or you're crying out for help
Yeah, it's been a week [F#] since I felt like meat
[Em] I've been starving but I just can't [F#] eat
I'm [Em] exhausted but I can't find sleep
[F#m] It's been harder than it's ever been
[B] The darkness hasn't ever dimmed, the light's so bleak
[Em] I never understood what they meant [F#m] when they said
That they were [Em] just the shadows of men that they had [F#m] been before they were beat
[Em] Now I know that [Bm] everything I heard was [Em] for real
When I'm looking in the mirror at [F#] a shell of [Em] myself
I think that stress is a contributing factor
To being twenty-eight and feeling older than dad does
The wrinkles on my face spreading faster and faster
If the good die young I hope I'm one of the bad ones
The day is long, stay [F#] strong and try again tomorrow [Em] though
Even if you're running out [F#] of reasons to ignore the phone
Even if you're running out of gas, go and borrow more
[Em] Your demons knocked the hardest when you finally chose to close the door
[F#] This is not the way my parents [Em] raised me
I hope they realize that [F#] I didn't fail one of their babies
[Em] This is the result [F#] of a declining social climate
[Em] That's original design was [F#] keeping people trapped inside [Em] it
Liquor and violence, we [F#] suffer in silence [C] until we embrace one another
And find our [N] collective defiance will topple the giants
I just try to smile through the crying
Cause I know that someone somewhere is feeling way worse than I am
And that's true
