Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I know where, just how to keep myself in line
Cause what I seen, this shit all happens in my mind
I know what I've seen, you stay so lost in
Toxin, the creatures in my room
I've lost it and I know this shit ain't true
But it's alright, cause I know you see it too
So come and dance with these creatures in my room
You see the horns on my head, that's cause of you
I don't know what I do that pushes everyone away
Night and day, I spend them wanting my life to be erased
And I spend them trying to tell myself that it's okay
Even though I know I'm dyin either way, and anyway
Take me in my sleep and make sure I don't have to see another day
Halfway in a grave by now
I been to hell a couple hundred thousand times
And I know you don't ever keep yourself in line
Bae how I love your scars, but you gon' tear down mine?
And I know I'm a star and for you I'm too bright
I been to hell a couple hundred thousand times
So I know where, just how to keep myself in line
Cause what I seen, this shit all happens in my mind
I know what I've seen, you stay so lost in
Toxin, the creatures in my room
I've lost it and I know this shit ain't true
But it's alright, cause I know you see it too
So come and dance with these creatures in my room
These creatures in my room
Woah woah woah
