I caught a buzz off of a single Marlboro red, that ain't happened since 16

No thought behind the words I said, nothing's changed, 9 years between

I used to bank on counting up, now it feels like counting down

I'm taking 13 pills a day, 47th times the charm

Tried every other along the

Way, might get 'em tattooed up my arms

Tylenol to Tramadol, middle fingers to my shoulders

All I ever wanted was to fly but now I'm terrified of the space between me and the ground

Cuz no one's ever let me down

And I'm tired of

Pulling pebbles out of my face from falling flat on it, still the asphalt never moves and

Hoping prayers make their way up through the clouds, but they never do

While my lip keeps shaking

And the streets keep flooding

And the rain keeps comin' down

Might as well lie on my back, open my mouth and wait to drown

I've lost a little bit of weight

I feel alive when I feel the burn

I still believe it's up to fate

We get the future we deserve

Look in the mirror at an imposter, but now it goes both ways

I used to dream while wide awake but now I only get a glimpse of better days when I'm asleep

If I don't suffocate in water 2 feet deep

Because I keep

Pulling pebbles out of my face from falling flat on it, still the asphalt never moves and

Hoping prayers make their way up through the clouds, but they never do

While my lip keeps shaking

And the streets keep flooding

And the rain keeps comin' down

Might as well lie on my back, open my mouth and wait to drown

Get busy living, or get busy dying

Wring out your t-shirts while the water's rising

Mmm

Yeah I think I'm gonna stop

Pulling pebbles out of my face cause falling flat on it's left a thousand little scars and

Hoping prayers sent too late will keep me from selling all of my guitars

While the dream keeps dying

And the streets keep flooding

At least the asphalt is solid ground

Might as well lie on my back, open my mouth and wait to drown

Might as well lie on my back, open my mouth and wait to drown
