[Intro: Venbee]

Dead in the gutter

Dead in the gutter

Dead in the gutter

[Verse 1: Venbee]

Back when I was fifteen, I got into the wrong crowd

Got myself in trouble just to make a silly man proud

When I was sixteen, I almost died

Swear my mum watched my life flash behind her eyes

When I was seventeen, I relapsed like ten times

And that last one led me on a downward spiral

Eighteen, picking up the drink

Felt kinda nice 'cause I didn't have to think

Nineteen, lockdown hit

Everything around me, it all wеnt to shit

Then I turned twenty, whеn did I turn twenty?

How the fuck am I twenty? Like what?

[Chorus: Venbee]

I should be

Dead in the gutter by now (dead in the gutter)

Should be six feet under

Don't know how I swerved the corner (dead in the gutter, dead in the gutter, dead in the gutter)

[Chorus: Venbee]

I should be

Dead in the gutter by now (dead in the gutter)

Should be six feet under

Don't know how I swerved the corner (dead in the gutter, dead in the gutter, dead in the gutter)

[Bridge: Ren]

De-de-dead in the gutter, dead in the gutter

Dead in the gutter

[Verse 2: Ren]

I was twenty-six, came back to the land of the living

Before that, I was sick in the body, unforgiving

Twenty-seven, so confused, still alive, but in pain

I would smoke, till I'm dumb, till I'm numb in the brain

Twenty-eight, let's get it straight, I put my paper to pen

And applied the pressure to the pages, tell the story of Ren

A story of a fallen angel amongst mortals and men

Tryna carve a place inside a space or stumble again

Twenty-nine, the world has changed, still I am sick

Still overmedicated, stress-related, cuffs on my wrist

Now I'm thirty

When did I turn thirty? How the fuck am I thirty?

[Chorus: Venbee]

I should be

Dead in a gutter by now

Should be six feet under

Don't know how I swerved the corner

[Chorus: Venbee]

I should be

Dead in a gutter by now

Should be six feet under

Don't know how I swerved the corner (dead in a gutter, dead in a gutter, dead in a gutter)

[Verse 3: Venbee]

I'm just such a hypocrite

Don't know how I live with it

Tell my brother not to smoke, I'm the one who hasn't quit

Really, I'm just winging it

Hoping it don't go to shit

Hoping I can find a place where I fit

[Chorus: Venbee]

I should be

Dead in the gutter by now (dead in the gutter)

Should be six feet under

Don't know how I swerved the corner (dead in the gutter, dead in the gutter, dead in the gutter)

[Chorus: Venbee]

I should be

Dead in the gutter by now (dead in the gutter)

Should be six feet under

Don't know how I swerved the corner (dead in the gutter, dead in the gutter, dead in the gutter)

[Outro]

Dead in the gutter

Dead in the gutter

Should be dead in the gutter

Dead in the gutter

Should be six feet under, don't know how I swerved the corner
