In joy and sorrow
3.7 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm lost and I own it mash the gas, can't control it
I'm still stuck in the moment it's deep within, can't condone it
I drown in my sorrows it's a hard pill to swallow
That's why I'm downin' the bottle I won't drown in my sorrows
Sitting on the edge of the bed I'm so numb in my legs
And my heart's in my head I suppose that I'm dead
That's why I stay off the meds I'm down in this bottle
Cause hennything possible this life shit get hard
But I try to be responsible push my thoughts down
It's next to abdominal I'm missing my mom, this shit isn't tolerable
When I'm off of the drink I see a dash of your light
You tell me I need help Now I'm mad that you right
Tossing and turning I'm having bad, bad nights
That's why I keep going I'm moving fast in my life
I will go where you go It is so beautiful
Claustrophobe in these four walls So afraid to be alone
I'm lost and I own it mash the gas, can't control it
I'm still stuck in the moment it's deep within, can't condone it
I drown in my sorrows it's a hard pill to swallow
That's why I'm downin' the bottle I won't drown in my sorrows
Gotta step up and be the man But my thoughts keep spinning round like a ceiling fan
I wish that I could be a lost boy, go to Neverland
Gotta turn my whole life around, call it rebrand
I'm tryna give this shit my all, but I just need a chance
I ain't say I need no handouts, take your fucking hand
I'm the type to build a whole house with no floor plans
That's why I'm hard to understand
Hard to understand
Hard to understand
I'm lost and I own it Mash the gas, can't control it
I'm still stuck in the moment
I drown in my sorrows
It's a hard pill to swallow
That's why I'm downin the bottle
I won't drown in my sorrows
I won't drown in my sorrows




Drown in my sorrows
Drown in my sorrows
