Everyday Apocalypse
Iamjakehill Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I should've been dead like 17 times
It seems like it
I got a lump in my throat and a heavy chest oh god I feel like shit
Another day wasted stuck inside my fragile mind
Picking at my bones with a rusty knife
All the fucking time

But I'll be alright

I'll be just fine if I can manage to get over this everyday apocalypse
Running from the radiation I can't find no shelter

I've never been afraid to disappoint
I used to pray but what's the point
I lost my faith at 21
Can't feel the rays from a blacken sun
Yeah I got a little older man I feel so pessimistic
My mind is fucking with me I'm just waiting for the next trick
I never thought I'd hate myself but let's get realistic
I will never change until I get muster up ambitions
To be something different than who I am now
One day I'll make it to the top and finally see through the clouds
But until then this building I'm in is a wreck
It tips and it crumbles 'til there's not much left but
I'll be alright
I'll be just fine
If i can manage to get over this
Everyday apocalypse
Running from the radiation I can't find no shelter




Manage to get over this everyday apocalypse
Running from the radiation I can't find no shelter
