[Chorus: SkyDxddy]

I've dealt with worse than you

I've felt what it's like to lose

I'm not scared of what is out there

I've seen the worst in my nightmares


[Verse 1: GAWNE]

Can't escape Hell, twenty-three years in this jail cell

No bail help, I've prayed, yelled

But remain stuck like a hangnail

Walking on eggshells

Fuck, every day I just take L's

My whole life's been a nightmare

Where every day feels like a lightyear

So, remember me? PTSD, the memories

Mentally, there's no coming back from Hell, I'm trapped

Like Alcatraz in a penitentiary, take your pick

Life's a game, oh, life's a bitch, but it don't matter to the referee

When death is the only penalty, so, rest in peace


[Chorus: SkyDxddy]

I've dealt with worse than you

I've felt what it's like to lose

I'm not scared of what is out there

I've seen the worst in my nightmares


[Verse 2: GAWNE]

Look at all the times, all the nights that intensified

Every day that I spent inside, barely getting by

Used to lay on my bed and cry, a pathetic guy

Not chill, so, I pop pills, how many times till I'm getting high?

Suicide's been on my mind, yeah, I wanna die

But I don't wanna make my momma cry

So, I try to hide it, I tell and lie, I scream and yell

That I don't need help, I said I'm fine

But dead inside, all my life I live petrified

Left paralyzed by anxiety and depressing times

All my life, all my life, I pray to god, pray to God

To go way up high, far away from that Satan fire

Darker days, even darker nights, from flames, I rise

[Bridge: GAWNE & SkyDxddy, SkyDxddy]

Days are getting longer, the nights are getting cold

So, I pray to God that the Devil is never taking my soul

Yeah, the days are getting longer, nights are getting colder

I've seen the worst in my nightmares


[Verse 3: GAWNE]

Yeah, I've seen it all, All the lows, mountain tops that are way up high

All the peaks that I'll never reach, the few mountains I could never climb

There was a time mortal men, born again, so, we pray to god

And pray the lord, our soul to keep

There comes a day when we lay and rise

I can't rise from the bottom, why would I bother

When you so depressed that you can't even get outta bed

If I'm being honest, I'd rather be dead than alive

Sometimes, I scream at the sky screaming, "I don't want it", all my life

All my life I've defined them odds, when the doctors told me I was gonna die

I crawled outta bed then rose, I rose to the sky, why? I don't know why

I don't know why, someone give me a sign

All the times that I fell, all the pain that I felt, how the fuck I'm alive?

When every night was like hell, but all I ever do is try

Fuck, am I losing my mind? Not even closing my eyes

Too many nightmares 'cause I've dealt with worse than you

I've felt what it's like to lose, but don't get it confused

Even when I'm on the ground, and I'm down for the count

I'll fight back up and I'll knock you out

'Cause it's been one hell of a ride, God

I've been through fire, I went through the flames

Every night but I rose to the top, bye

It's from the flames, I will rise


[Chorus: SkyDxddy]

I've dealt with worse than you

I've felt what it's like to lose

I'm not scared of what is out there

I've seen the worst in my nightmares


[Outro: SkyDxddy]

I've dealt with worse than you

I've felt what it's like to lose

I'm not scared of what is out there

I've seen the worst in my nightmares
