[Verse 1: thebreathingbackwards]

I was born from something different than I am now

'Cause what I am now, is like motion of the sand

How it fights with the waves creating friction

It's the struggle of a dream, within the rhymes and the diction

That I spit whenever I'm feeling down, escape in a safer sound

I always heard it takes less effort to smile than effort to frown

But I'm starting to think that every lie that I've heard is just adding up

Inside my chest, I think I've had enough

I'm impaired by all my fears

Isolated by my peers

Hung up on the shit I hear

From lips that only disappear

And ghost me when I'm feeling down

Break my body to the ground

Suffocate in sadness sounds

To fold the fomo in my frown

Overdose on Serotonin

Tolerance is overflowing

Only time will tell

But I got no idea just where I'm going

Lost up in the architechture

Of an ode to feeling better

Deep December sweater weather

808s beyond forever

I been gone for fucking years, it's been all over

Theres been nothing but contempt and aggravation in my shoulders

I feel it when I fall asleep, and every day I rise

There's no power left inside to try, so I say I'd rather die

But I'm so motherfucking scared that no one cares

So I'll lock myself in Brody's attic, adding knots to knotted hair

Bitch about my story, and how none of what I feel is fair

And sign it, "love, thebreathingbackwards:

Unimportant, unaware"

[Chorus: stairwell]

This day might be my last

This dark cloud will never pass

So cold I'll shatter like glass

Can you hear me?

This day might be my last

This dark cloud will never pass

So cold I'll shatter like glass

[Verse 2: yesterday]

Pickin' up the pieces

Cleaning up your mess

Yeah, I used to love you

Now you make me anxious

Talkin' like I'm toxic

Babe, I'm just depressed

Come through for the night

Lay your head on my chest

When the sun comes up

I might say you gotta go

Tell me how you want it baby

We can take it slow

Yeah, you're lying to my face

You don't think I'll ever know

If you're hoping for a chase

Put your faith in safer homes

Blowin' up my phone

Now you're asking for a re-do

I just want some dome

And that Gucci I can see through

Money ain't a problem

When you do it for the love

Keep my eyes on the prize

'Til I'm sittin up above

With a blunt in my mouth

And a knife on my tongue

Now my life's headin' south

And my legs are feeling numb

Yeah, my head's filled with doubt

Can't you tell that I'm dumb?

Put my life to an end

With an unloaded gun

[Chorus: stairwell]

This day might be my last

This dark cloud will never pass

So cold I'll shatter like glass

Can you hear me?

This day might be my last

This dark cloud will never pass

So cold I'll shatter like glass

[Verse 3: stairwell]

Never thought it would come to this

Feel the pain in my chest, put your nail in my wrist

Waking up's a struggle feeling like shit

Another new day, another plan to miss

I'm tired of taking ownership for all my missteps

I wanna feel something new, something deeper than this

Somethings I can't change, that's just a story that I say to make it go away

Don't you try to war off blame, you're the reason that I'm cold like it's the middle of the winter

I'm still fucked up from December

You can hear it in my timbre

I don't wanna remember

I'm shaken to my center

[Chorus: stairwell]

This day might be my last

This dark cloud will never pass

So cold I'll shatter like glass

Can you hear me?

This day might be my last

This dark cloud will never pass

So cold I'll shatter like glass
