[Verse 1]

I'm reaching in the past for the dead

All this time falling through my hands

Tryna bring back what I can't

Tryna keep it all for my son

Somebody get this mirror from me

I'm starting to see my father

All of these memories ugly

Tryna keep 'em from my daughter


[Pre-Chorus]

I'm fighting ghosts, can't come to the phone

I'm not at home, I'm lost and alone

Lost and alone, you don't wanna see me alone


[Chorus]

Will you come out to the deep end with me

Where it's dark and my mind need fixing

Where the burden's too heavy to carry?

I got drugs that I just can't kick

Are you afraid of the deep end, baby?

Are you afraid that ya just can't fix me?

My head falls underwater

I got drugs that I just can't kick


[Verse 2]

I'm rеaching in the past for the dead

I'm rеplaying the things that were said

A table full of women seeing red

Let's put a little boy in charge of cleaning up the mess

Too heavy to shoulder the moment

Move Heaven and Earth and some oceans

Would you meet the new family opponents?

A brand-new storm and some locusts


[Pre-Chorus]

I'm fighting ghosts, can't come to the phone

I'm not at home, I'm lost and alone

Lost and alone, you don't wanna see me alone


[Chorus]

Will you come out to the deep end with me

Where it's dark and my mind need fixing

Where the burden's too heavy to carry?

I got drugs that I just can't kick

Are you afraid of the deep end, baby?

Are you afraid that ya just can't fix me?

My head falls underwater

I got drugs that I just can't kick


[Bridge]

I'm reaching in the past for the dead (Ooh)

Mm, nobody got a gun like mine

Better the murder, they fall behind

And have nightmares of these fires, don't know where I'm supposed to go


[Pre-Chorus]

I'm fighting ghosts, can't come to the phone

I'm not at home, I'm lost and alone

I can't break these chains alone, don't make me beg you


[Chorus]

Will you come out to the deep end with me

Where it's dark and my mind need fixing

Where the burden's too heavy to carry?

I got drugs that I just can't kick

Are you afraid of the deep end, baby?

Are you afraid that ya just can't fix me?

My head falls underwater

I got drugs that I just can't kick


[Outro]

Just save your breath for me

Don't even say my name

Don't save me
