Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They know what's bout to happen
Cause the devil done told em
I'm about to lose my mind
So it's time to go bruh
Go bruh
With a fully automatic
I'm a kill these habits
Silly rabbit
My brain can't have it
I'm steady going manic
And all my piers are starting to panic
Product of environment
God damn it
With dark days and dark nights
I contemplate in taking my life
Cause my brain just don't work right
All I ever wanted was a good life
But it seems like
I've been loosing this whole time
So fuck all with their hands out
Cause it never
Filled mine
I see them angels crying on my shoulders
They know what's bout to happen
Cause the devil done told em
I'm about to lose my mind
So it's time to go bruh
Go bruh
Yea
Said it's time to go
When it rains it pours
You Build me up with lies
To Tear me down some more
Sick of chasing your lies and foolish type of reality
Wonder why I'm running round
With things that I wish could be
My music now like a sad type of symphony
Filled with all the real pain that you built in me
My heart has lost all blood that would make it beat
Skins turned pale Warm Bodies need a zombie beat
My light has now turned to darkness I'm serious furious
Broken to pieces because I was curious
Walking on eggshells and now I am delirious
I am delirious
I see them angels crying on my shoulders
They know what's bout to happen
Cause the devil done told em
I'm about to lose my mind
So it's time to go bruh
Go bruh
