Lyrics

You thought the smoke made you older
It just made it harder to breathe
You thought the stage would save you
It almost buried you
Cigarette packs in my backpack pocket
Smoked at fifteen cuz it was iconic
Asthma lungs but I wanted the buzz
Just another kid acting tough
Actin' on stage under theater light
Memorized lines just to feel alright
Applause hit deeper than oxygen
Performance came before confidence
Tried to look mean, tried to look grown
Fought through nights when I was alone
Thought rebellion meant respect
Didn't know it'd put me in debt
Running from a ghost
That was chasing me
Didn't know the version
I'd grow up to be
Dear me, you survive this
Even when you feel lifeless
Even when your life twists
And you can't breathe
Dear me, don't lose it
Don't let the day choose it
Past ain't the proof of it
You still lead
Home bathroom with a locked door
Told myself I've done worse before
White lines cutting through doubt
Said one more time won't count
From chasing highs for a thrill
And trying to make my chest sit still
Pulse too hard, my smile lies
Control slips in thin disguise
Called it focus, called it drive
Truth was I was barely alive
Every I'm fine made me a liar
Every promise a long expire
I thought I was untouchable
I wasn't
I thought I was untouchable
I wasn't
I thought I was unstoppable
I wasn't
Dear me, you survive this
Even when you feel lifeless
Even when your life twists
And you can't breathe
Dear me, don't lose it
Don't let the day choose it
Past ain't the proof of it
You still lead
One summer they screamed my name
One rap song sparked my fame
Faded fast, quick parade
Spotlight bright but paper-made
Thought that meant I finally won
Thought the fight inside was done
But charts don't cure what pride hides
Applause doesn't help you heal inside
Life finally hit me crystal clear
I'd been chasing powder for a year
In that empty room, something broke
Not the dream, the smoke
I put the powder down and picked the pen up
Put the past down and held my head up
Stopped trying to die impressive
Started trying to live aggressive
Dear me, you survive this
Your falling doesn't define this
Getting up is how you climb it
You still breathe
Dear me, stay breathing
Stay building, stay leading
The kid you were is healing
Through me
Keep on moving
Stay a fighter
Take the pen
Become the writer
Keep on moving
Stay a fighter
Take the pen
Become the writer
