[Intro]
[low vocal register]
Alarm ring, same gray ceiling
Kettle scream, same old feeling
Background voices like a crowd in my head
Saying "get up, get up" while I lie in this bed
[Verse 1]
Bills on the table, all caps, red letters
Phone full of numbers, ain’t making it better
I scroll, I scroll, who’s faking it best?
Smile for the feed, then break in the rest
Mom said pray, doc said "take these"
Friends said "call if you’re down on your knees"
But the line stay busy in my own damn skull
Like a halftime show that just won’t dull
[Chorus]
Life sucks sometimes, that’s facts
Whole world sitting on my back
[background voices: "too much, too much"]
I breathe in slow, let the bassline catch me
Let it hit my chest like it’s therapy
Life sucks sometimes, that’s real
Hard days chewing on my will
[background voices: "hold on, hold on"]
I ride that low-end till the pain moves past me
Sub in my ribs like it understands me
[Verse 2]
Boss say "smile," I just show teeth
Clock on the wall doing laps on me
Rain in my shoes, can’t keep them dry
Laugh too loud so I don’t just cry
Cousin on the corner, chasing that rush
Said he hates his life but he loves that hush
When the world go quiet, just a hum in his veins
I get the same calm from the kick and the bass
Sax in the back like a late-night sigh
Keys drip slow like they learning to cry
I close both eyes, let the chaos bend
If this day won’t change, I’ll just ride through the end
[Chorus]
