[Verse]

I'm walking out the darkness, and I barely made it

Hope this reaches all the people who cannot escape it

I was just like you, I was young like you

I was tryna numb the pain I was afraid of facing

I was tryna run away from the hurt

I didn't know what I would do if living felt any worse

I tried the pills and the therapy, and none of it worked

I know it kills, but I want you to know that you ain't the first

Your people can't relate if they ain't felt it themselves

It feels like everything they say when you complain doesn't help

You're sinking deeper every day; when you're awake, you're in hell

You think you changed along the way, but now it's too late to tell

It's like you were rolling with the thunder and fell

'Cause when the lightning started crashing, I guess you did as well

Your demons kicking down the door, they're never ringing the bell

They just keep tapping on the windows till they fall out the cells

I know you're feeling defeated, you try to keep it a secret

Your weakness got you believing you need a doctor for treatment

But taking pills ain't convenient, so you keep looking for reasons

To go and flush 'em down the drain and find the faith to keep breathing

You lay and look at the ceiling all night when you should be sleeping

But you've been knee deep in pieces of dreams and failed achievements

You keep repeating the moments when you were beaten and broken

And now you're bleeding emotion, you just want someone to hold you, well, me too

'Cause I've been standing on the edge, trying not to jump

I only say it so you know you aren't the only one

The only thing that killed the pain was smoking weed and getting drunk

Before I knew it, I had drank a case a day for eighteen months

I was sleeping with a beer by my bed

“Last Call” was all that I could hear in my head

I know there's too many of us drinking to try and forget

But who the fuck are we gonna cheers if we drink till we're dead?

And when you finally get sober, you find the friendships are over

'Cause you don't have nothing in common if you're not getting loaded

You called 'em brothers, you called 'em family, you called 'em your blessings

And now they call, and you ignore the phone, and that's called depression

They try to tell you your misery is not an excuse

And you just wish they could spend a day tryna walk in your shoes

Just know you're not alone, I feel the same way as you

It isn't you against the world 'cause I'm fighting 'em too

It's like you're losing control until you drive right off the road

And then when the vehicle rolls again, you get thrown out the holes in it

Then you notice all of your bones are broken and all of your clothes are wet

Soaking with gasoline, light a smoke and explode with it

Till the day that we're ghosts, you'll never be on your own

'Cause I'll be standing in your corner till you need me the most

I was put on this planet to lift you up when you're low

And you have done the same for me, so I'll be keeping you close, I love y'all
