Lyrics

What am I supposed to be
When you decide that you've heard enough of me
From the pathways in the past that I was lead down
I'm burdened by the choices I regret now
Sink deeper, flirt with the reaper
Chirpsing the worst of the parts that complete ya
You're beat as the climb gets steeper
Hand felt stacked but you can't beat the dealer
Weeks drag while your knees grow weaker
Eager to wind the hands back, repeat it (repeat it)
Do you deserve it?
Was it all worth it?
Stop, stare death in the face and say"Perfect"
Will I earn freedom in life?
Or will I just work 'til I die?
But when I'm out cold on the floor
And the former and the latter don't matter anymore
Am I still gonna want more?
Knackered and bored
Unsatisfied 'til I'm locked up in a morgue
(So flip a penny in the well) So flip a penny in the well
Ignore the butterflies in your belly as they fell
For the lies that you sell saying"things are going well"
Put the cap on the bottle and bury it as well
I'm chasing this
But if no one cares
If I break myself
Is it worth it?
They say no need for the brave face
Nothing to be ashamed of
But I can't shake
The thought of being replaced
I can't face it
Am I any less of a man
If I can't move on from the place I began?
Bend backwards, breaking your back
Just tryna keep everything you built on track (on track)
No trust for a helping hand
Things can't move forward if I keep looking back
(Keep looking back, keep looking back)
I'm chasing this
But if no one cares
If I break myself
Is it worth it?
Cut by a double edged sword
When the thing you adore turns into a chore
Stuck with a life that I could've ignored
But would've been gutted if never explored (explored)
Just pray things pick up tomorrow
Try not to waste all the time that I've borrowed
It's happening again just saying I'm fine
Then lose another fight to the beast inside
I'm chasing this
But if no one cares
If I break myself
Is it worth it?
