Better Off...

[Chorus]



Everyday battling thoughts of how much better off I'd be dead

The only painkiller really a bullet through my head

Everyday battling thoughts of





[Verse 1]



Psychopathic rage

Caged

Accomplished nothing up to this age

Phase? Nah this my final stage

Just to see how I deal with it

Ain't that some shit



Saw [name omitted] as my shoulder to cry on but I nearly physically feel him drowning

Around in a cesspool of my blood and his own

Home we made one outta this music thing

Kings we'd never consider ourselves shit too many insecurities

Blurring these, lines between realistic and pessimistic

Be logistic

If I was any different from the next real homie doing it

Proven it, stats show, I'm nothing special

Gold medal to [name omitted] for making it this far in the race

Pace slowed down by me being ball and chain



[Verse 2]



Yeah, moving on to [name omitted]

And maybe I feel the discomfort when talking to you

Problems get brushed off nowadays shit I never wanted the truth

That I'm really falling apart

Foundation been shaky from the start

And maybe asking too much to place all this on the shoulder of my two best friends

But I need a fucken raft just to see me through this end



[name omitted] said something that really resonated with me

About how she claims to love but doesn't know me really

And it got me to thinking about how many people would be crying at my funeral

Know less than her so would sadness for a stranger be suitable

Like if I grew a pair and threw myself in front of a fucken bus

Skydive with no parachute to cross that off the bucket list

Too in touch with my emotions, call me a bitch, levitate from the noose to test my neck game

Suicide or riding it out if god is real I'm going to hell all the same





[Chorus]



Everyday battling thoughts how much better off I'd be dead

The only painkiller really a bullet through my head

Everyday battling thoughts of





[Verse 3]



Mentally wrote about a dozen notes to say my goodbyes

Wouldn't want anyone to wrongly feel guilt with their misguided cries

I mean nothing to no one, let's just have that shit clear

You only want me alive for comfort or coz you think survival's better, it's unfair

I'm the one who has to put up with these thoughts in my mind

While catering for your false need for me to survive

Even if it's by some crazy accident or a robbery gone wrong when I die

Just know I've been praying for it, my destiny's on the other side
