lyrics

Trigger my solo rapture
i've written the final words of the chapter
caught sleeping and i'm the last up
now my wick's burning faster
Warm words never mattered
i'm cold, i’m almost a cadaver
life's a bitch, switch off and go get plastered
she ain't kill me, but i wouldn't put it past her
god has never been an answer,
i've been lying to myself and to the pastor,
look around, i've just been passed up
all my peers are always flashier
the 2020s might be my last years
i'm not solely disappointing, i graduated into a disaster
tell me why, i'm slaving away when i never had a master
i'm sinking further down, i think i'm drowning
the idea that keeps on hounding me, that it's all bliss in the boundless abyss
succumbing to all the pressure, they tell me that life's precious
but it don't feel that way from the funeral procession

i went from heaven sent to hell bent within a sec
in the midst of my ascent i caught my feet in the cement
tormented at my assent, i feel i'm hardly worth a cent
if i ever said i was content, that's what i said not what i meant
can't amend this life, can't pretend i'm alright,
polite placebos, validation matthew christ
Can't depend on me at all, pallbearers down the hall, ready for me to fall into a coffin
well be my guest, at least i’ll finally get some rest
