[Verse]
Spinnin’ down the drain, no brakes on the ride
Nightmares in the rearview, demons hitchin’ a ride
Heart heavy, steel boots on a paper-thin bridge
The edge whisperin' secrets, I’m hearin' every pitch
Rain don’t stop, streets floodin' my mind
Hunger in the belly, empty fridge full of time
A shadowbox champ, swingin’ at ghosts
Toast to the struggle, broken glass, no toast
[Chorus]
When life takes a turn for the worse
Feels like the blessing’s a curse
Spit pain, let it burst
This the fire, this the thirst
[Verse 2]
Momma said the sun gon’ shine, still waitin'
Clock hands movin’ slow, patience evaporatin’
Neighbors blast sirens, lullaby of the block
Ambulance harmony, death don’t knock
Snakes in the garden, hiss turn to melody
Friends turn phantom, love lose its remedy
Chains on my neck, feelin’ tighter than the stress
Life’s a test, every answer just a guess
[Chorus]
When life takes a turn for the worse
Feels like the blessing’s a curse
Spit pain, let it burst
This the fire, this the thirst
