[Chorus]

This is my death rattle

The best battle that I've ever had's been with depression, it has my head shackled

A happy kid to a stressed adult

I can hear my breath crackle, it's the cackle of a death rattle

This is my death rattle

The best battle that I've ever had's been with depression, it has my head shackled

A happy kid to a stressed adult

I can hear my breath crackle, it's the cackle of a death rattle

[Verse 1]

The reaper is close, you can hear the creak of the ghost screeching through both speakers

This dope beat is its host

With sneezes and croaks, my throat freezes and chokes while reeking of smoke

Even my nose bleeds and it's gross

What's eating me most is I haven't achieved shit

The addict in me's made the passionate me sick

But back as a clean kid, I imagined a mean crib for a shit sleeping pattern I happen to dream big

I've managed to rerig the hunger that went missing but I pen this in

I just wonder if friends listen

'Cause there's so many snakes, there's hundreds of them hissing

I give a hundred percent with under a cent given

The funds that I've spent spitting are bleeding me quite dry

And this life I am leading's proceeding to fly by

It's like time's speeding, it flees in the night sky

With my mic peaking, I'm believing I might die

[Chorus]

This is my death rattle

The best battle that I've ever had's been with depression, it has my head shackled

A happy kid to a stressed adult

I can hear my breath crackle, it's the cackle of a death rattle

This is my death rattle

The best battle that I've ever had's been with depression, it has my head shackled

A happy kid to a stressed adult

I can hear my breath crackle, it's the cackle of a death rattle

[Verse 2]

I used to say that I was destined for greatness, instead, I'm just accepting my fate has been tested for ages

I'm less than courageous

I just want to pester these pages until the day I rest in a grave and my flesh is infested with slaters

The estimate raises

Doom is impending, I'm due for an ending so I don't care whom I'm offending

Either heaven is moving closer or the moon is descending

My mood isn't mending depending on this booze I'm befriending

Lucifer's lending me a potion that boasters a hope token

I soak in that loathe floating alone in a gross ocean

Suddenly my devotion and focus are both broken, provoking my dome's omens

I've opened my own Trojan

My throat's closing, my ears have swelled from the smell

It appears that some tears have fell

I love my fam, friends, fans, and my peers as well

But fuck everyone else, I'ma see youse in hell, 'cause

[Chorus]

This is my death rattle

The best battle that I've ever had's been with depression, it has my head shackled

A happy kid to a stressed adult

I can hear my breath crackle, it's the cackle of a death rattle

This is my death rattle

The best battle that I've ever had's been with depression, it has my head shackled

A happy kid to a stressed adult

I can hear my breath crackle, it's the cackle of a death rattle
