Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All these demons are for real, and they all surround me
They wanna see me dead, yeah, they wanna see me dead
All these voices in my head, they just wanna see me dead
I have mental issues, feels like I am drowning
All these demons are for real, and they all surround me
They wanna see me dead, yeah, they wanna see me dead
All these voices in my head, they just wanna see me dead
I cannot escape all this madness in my brain
It's like I'm laying on the track just waiting for the train
All these voices in my head bring only thoughts of dread
Make me wanna take the gun, put it right up to my head
I cannot escape, I cannot evacuate
Every single day, it feels like I'm going insane
Please help me escape, please help me evacuate
I can't take this anymore, I'm bout to go insane
Bout to go insane
Hahahahahahahahahaha
Ah
I have mental issues, feels like I am drowning
I have mental issues, feels like I am drowning
I have mental issues, feels like I am drowning
I have mental issues, feels like I am drowning
All these demons are for real, and they all surround me
They wanna see me dead, yeah, they wanna see me dead
All these voices in my head, they just wanna see me dead
I have mental issues, feels like I am drowning
All these demons are for real, and they all surround me
They wanna see me dead, yeah, they wanna see me dead
All these voices in my head, they just wanna see me dead
Feels like I am drowning
And they all surround me
All these voices in my head
They just wanna see me dead
Ah
