[Verse 1]
Bm Em A Bm
This lighter don’t work, no
Bm Em A Bm
No flame to spark my goal
Bm Em A Bm
My Nike’es laced in dirt, oh
Bm Em A Bm
I've ended up treading on my own soul
[Verse 2]
Bm Em A
My headphones only working on the left side
A Bm
But I try, to live the right life
Bm Em
My eyes wide, and I strive
Em A
To stop my demons gripping, ripping from the inside
Bm Em A
This road is dark and I can’t find the batteries for my flashlight
Bm Bm Em A Bm
I’m blind eyed and I’m tiiiiiiiiiired
[Chorus]
Bm Em A Bm
Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Aah Aah
Bm Em A Bm
Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Aah Aah
Bm A F#m G
Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Aah Aah
Bm A F#m G
[Verse 3]
Bm Em A Bm
These drugs don't work
Bm Em A Bm
The pain it takes control
Bm Em A Bm
A blood-stained shirt
Bm Em A Bm
I feel like I'm always being chased by the devil
[Verse 4]
Bm Em A
I tried to talk but I can’t seem to get my spoken words right
A Bm Bm
And I t-t-t-t-t-t-try to keep my stutter light
Bm Em A
And this life it can be ish right, cut you like a flick knife
Bm Bm
Twist and make you sick riiiiight
Em A
And I think maybe I’ll be better off alone
Bm
So I redirect the calls from my phone
Bm Em
I learnt so many lessons from depression
A Bm
But in essence I’m just wishing that these bad thoughts were gone
[Chorus]
Bm Em A Bm
Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Aah Aah
Bm Em A Bm
Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Aah Aah
Bm A F#m G
Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Aah Aah
Bm A F#m G

Sometimes I bleed, sometimes I crawl, sometimes I slip, sometimes I fall
Bm Cm Am
Sometimes times my back is up against the wall so hard that the whole building could fall
Bm
Sometimes I bruise, sometimes I break
Cm Dm
Sometimes I’m true, sometimes I’m fake
Bm
Sometimes I’m hoping for a moment when the floor would just start opening and swallow me for goodness sake
Bm Cm Dm
And I think I’m gonna break cause I ache and it’s bait I’m awake in a world full of pain superman no cape
Bm Bm
And I’m pressing the breaks but the breaks they break and I’m driving my universe into a lake
Bm
And the weight, the weight of the world don’t wait
Cm Dm
We make mistakes when it’s all at stake
Bm
We cook our cake we eat our cake
Bm
Sometimes no time for double takes but
(Accapella)
N.C.
That’s just the way life goes sometimes
N.C.
But I don’t want to end up in the gutter being battered by my troubles
N.C.
face down in a puddle where the sun don’t shine
N.C.
So I’m coming and giving it back, upon the track and attacking ‘em
N.C.
Stacking up beats like I did with this one I pack it in
N.C.
And I’m praying, oh lord take this pain away

Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Ooooh oh Aah Aah

I'm blind eyed
[Sam Tompkins:]
This lighter don't work, no
No flame to spark my goal
My Nike's laced in dirt, oh
I've ended up treading on my own soul
My headphone's only working on the left side
But I try to live the right life
My eyes wide and I strive
To stop my demons gripping, ripping from the inside
This road is dark and I can't find the batteries for my flashlight
I'm blind eyed and I'm tired
[Ren:]
These drugs don't work
The pain, it takes control
A blood-stained shirt
I feel like I'm always being chased by the devil
I tried to talk but I can't seem to get my spoken words right
And I t-t-t-t-t-t-try to keep my stutter light
And this life it can be ish right, cut you like a flick knife
Twist and make you sick right
And I think, maybe I'll be better off alone
So I redirect the calls from my phone
I learned so many lessons from depression
But in essence, I'm just wishing that these bad thoughts were gone
(I'm blind eyed)
(I'm blind eyed)
(I'm blind eyed)
Sometimes I bleed, sometimes I crawl
Sometimes I slip, sometimes I fall
Sometimes my back is up against the wall so hard
That whole building could fall
Sometimes I bruise, sometimes I break
Sometimes I'm true, sometimes I'm fake
Sometimes I'm hoping for a moment
When the floor would just start opening
And swallow me for goodness sake
I think I'm gonna break 'cause I ache
And it's bait I'm awake in a world full of pain
Superman no cape and I'm pressing the breaks
But the breaks, they break
And I'm driving my universe into a lake
And the weight, the weight of the world, don't wait
We make mistakes when it's all at stake
We cook out cake, we eat our cake
Sometimes no time for double takes but
(That's just the way life goes sometimes)
But I don't want to end up in the gutter
Being battered by my troubles
Face down in puddle where the sun don't shine
So I'm coming and giving it back
Upon the track and attacking 'em
Stacking up beats like I did with this one I pack it in
And I'm praying, oh lord, take this pain away
