Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Making me go insane go mad
And I know that it's all part of their trap
But I really want to fall for all of that
Why am I drowning in hell
Like I ask you for real
I'm taking pill after pill
Flames consuming my limps
And sadness just strikes
While I can not find
A reason to get high
But I still do
And I'll be doomed
I'll be gone soon
Yeah, yeah
All these feelings (feelings)
Are inhaling, all my thoughts
And I'm consumed by the darkness
I be feeling like, I am heartless
All these feelings I tried to cultivate
Well it's hard for me
Well it's hard for me
Shit
You don't know what I been through
You don't know what I have done in the past
You don't know how I been fooled
I can not catch a fucking breath
Why am I drowning in hell
Like I ask you for real
I'm taking pill after pill
Flames consuming my limps
Yeah, I tried I tried
And sadness just strikes
While I can not find
A reason to get high
Oh my god
I'm trying to get out this mud
But uh what the fuck
Ah yeah I am stuck
Wait damn hold on
Why do I need to fall far
When do I hit the ground
I'm asking myself the most
Please take me away
Into a different space
Cause I don't want to
Want to endure all this pain
But I'm so damn drained
And all these memories fade
Why am I drowning in hell
Like I ask you for real
I'm taking pill after pill
Flames consuming my limps
Yeah, I tried I tried
And sadness just strikes
While I can not find
A reason to get high
