One little thing just to set me off Now I've got a week planned full of stressful thoughts Stressful thoughts and second thoughts About being here, can you please shut my door Got my mates tryna reach me on the phone But I just wanna be left on my own I think I've started seeing everything in monochrome And hearing every single thing in monotone My hands are numb, my ears are starting to bleed My ankles are swelling and so are my feet Bottom half of my body doesn't even read I guess it's no wonder that you can't stand me Expect big things from his mind complex I avoid eye contact, cause I'm on edge Every day wishing that I'm on meds But I'm high and I'm buzzing like a pylon's neck My heart's picking up and I'm starting to combust I can't find a map and I'm always in the rough I don't have a brother, what the f*ck There's no hope for me when I have to blow the dust Off the mic, just to survive the night, I might cry Rarely ever comply and wish to die Thing is, nobody would miss my life So baby come over here, this is your kiss goodbye How the f*ck can you put out a song With nothing except your suicide tape on Man, it's easy when I've got my cape off Lie it on the floor, where it belongs Tryna find some kind of tactical wand To get my mind out of this headspace for one Minute, I just don't fit in, and I think I'm getting Livid I can't finish something that's not written So what is talent when you've got no one to share it with Weight of the world, I carry it Holding a hatchet, never gonna bury it Standing at the windowsill and I'm staring at Any by-passer walking down the street And if he looks back at me then he's obviously got beef What the f*ck did I do to start a scene Shit that just me, overthinking Alcoholic drinking, sensation of sinking Sweating down my cheek and involuntary blinking Say you love me, well it's not very convincing This is how i feel, let it sink in Life is great on this empty couch The ringing in my ears is forever loud Everybody listen, settle down Is what I shout to myself in this empty house I'm starting to combust I can't find a map and I'm always in the rough I don't have a brother, what the f*ck There's no hope for me when I have to blow the dust Off the mic, just to survive the night, I might cry Rarely ever comply and wish to die Thing is, nobody would miss my life So baby come over here, this is your kiss goodbye Medical, psychological compression I think I'm showing signs of onset depression All my friends are saying go on, kid, get 'em But I've got no family, so now I'm just stressing Suicide. Nah, I'm just messing And I know I'm going hell so there's no point in confessing I'ma always be the kid no one ever ends up getting And I think I'm suffocating in this hole that my leg's in Mr. Blackburn, he's gonna die young He looks me in the eyes, disappointed, why son You'll never get it, dad, I'm just not like them I wanna slit my wrists and die in Saigon My tea's gone cold, time to open the curtain This room's full of people but I'm the only person Who's wordless and worthless without a service Sweating and shaking, f*ck I'm so nervous Take a deep breath, just try not to panic Go outside on your own I'm sure your mates will allow it But I can't move my legs, my heart's going sporadic So turn into a functioning, controllable addict I just exhaled but I didn't breathe in I'm on so many drugs stuck to the ceiling Lungs are deflated I think that they're failing Vision's gone blurry, I think that I'm leaving Nope, I'm still alive Fingers crossed still wishing to die Put on anaesthetic by some paramedic Man, I told you you'd never get it, yo this shit is just pathetic
