LYRICS:

[HOOK 1]
Lately I’m grinding a lot
Just like my dad i’m a soldier
Steady I work for my spot
I don’t need help I need closure

I don’t tell no one my plot
Been that way since I got older
I know success isn’t bought
You hustle and work til it’s over 

Ever since I left the west I haven’t been the same
Called my older sister say I’m different and I’m changed
Nothing that I do feels right it’s driving me insane
So I shut my eyes wake up make every same mistake

[VERSE 1]
I been going through it I don’t think they understand
And I’m losing hope like I’m swimming through quick sand 
Keep my head above the water looking out for land
Think I need another savior or a helping hand, like

No matter what, I’m losing focus
Been hard to stand, when you feel hopeless
I’m losing touch, in my emotions
My bones are sand, my mind’s an ocean

these feelings I feel,, they weighing a mil, i’m feeling em still, like king of the hill, my body was killed, and now it is floating

Anxiety real,, nauseous I feel, my bottle refilled, 
I’m taking a pill, right straight to the gill, and that’s how I’m coping 

Time is running out like my prescription on the couch
Everyone around, only looking for some clout
I thought the one was found, thinking that she’d held it down
But now I swear I’m headed up I’m looking to the clouds, cause

[HOOK 2]
Lately I’m grinding a lot
Just like my dad i’m a soldier
Steady I work for my spot
I don’t need help I need closure

I don’t tell no one my plot
Been that way since I got older
I know success isn’t bought
You hustle and work til it’s over 

Ever since I left the west I haven’t been the same
Called my older sister say I’m different and I’m changed
Nothing that I do feels right it’s driving me insane
So I shut my eyes wake up make every same mistake

LYRICS:

[PRE-HOOK]

She say that she love me, but she never did
Never got a warning, she just up and dipped

[HOOK 1]

She say that she love me, but she never did
I knew she was lying the moment left her lips
Never got a warning, she just up and dipped
I'm still feeling helpless I can’t live with this

She say that she love me, but she never did
I knew she was lying the moment left her lips
Never got a warning, she just up and dipped
I'm still feeling helpless I can’t live with this

[VERSE 1]

Okay pop, then I choke, lately my life been a joke
I’m always so nauseous I don’t know what I don’t know
I can’t seem to get a grip or figure how to cope
Like how she say she love me then she left me for my bro

That’s how I knew, it wasn’t you, all I wanted was the truth, yeah yeah
Fiending hard on demon youth, yeah yeah
All the hurt you put me through, I don’t wanna hear from you, never happy when I do 

Why you have to play me like you thought of me as nothing but a joke,
I’m still picking pieces from this heart that you broke
Insecurity is taking over and I know,
That I’m on my own because I’m anxious and alone 

Why, do I even, try?
keeps me up at, night
insecure all the time

[HOOK 2]

She say that she love me, but she never did
I knew she was lying the moment left her lips
Never got a warning, she just up and dipped
I'm still feeling helpless I can’t live with this

She say that she love me, but she never did
I knew she was lying the moment left her lips
Never got a warning, she just up and dipped
I'm still feeling helpless I can’t live with this

LYRICS:

[HOOK 1]
Lately I haven’t felt like myself
I take my pills never mind my health
The doc said they’d work saying that they’d help
But I still feel worse yeah I feel like hell

Lately I haven’t felt like myself
I take my pills never mind my health
The doc said they’d work saying that they’d help
But I still feel worse yeah I feel like hell

[VERSE 1]
Most of the time I wonder if I’ll make it
The problems that I have always leave me anxious
I don’t wanna die but my life won’t face it
Stuck inside my mind and my body can’t take it

The doctor gave me pills for the pain in my body
I throw up every night and every day like it’s my hobby
Forgotten and alone like my life is just a copy
Remember nights I cried when the mirror didn’t want me

Tell me do you really know how I feel?
I don’t know the difference for what’s right and what’s real
I don’t know the cure to this nausea that I feel
It’s been 3 whole days since I had my last meal

Anxiety makes me feel so worthless
I just stay in bed cause I’m always hurting
“You’ll be okay” yeah I’ve already heard it
What did I even do to make me deserve this?

[HOOK 2]
Lately I haven’t felt like myself
I take my pills never mind my health
The doc said they’d work saying that they’d help
But I still feel worse yeah I feel like hell

Lately I haven’t felt like myself
I take my pills never mind my health
The doc said they’d work saying that they’d help
But I still feel worse yeah I feel like hell

Really?
Sure! We’ll sing, and play games, and mother will cook your favorite meals.

What’s that?
Well, it’s a surprise.

LYRICS:

[hook]
thanks for nothing
i’m sick of all the suffering
i feel the anxious thinking from my brain into my stomach
you make me feel like loving isn’t nothing but a substance
i wish i saw it coming got no choices i’m a puppet

i still look at your name on the corner of the page
from the letters that you wrote me when we went our separate ways
when it ended
i’m sick of seeking vengeance
i’m sick of seeing waterfalls from my eyelids when i’m restless

[verse]
i don’t recall where i went wrong
i lost it all i lost our love
i think we both knew all along
i’d be the one who’d write a song

about the things that we gained
the memories that we made
of all our pointless conversations
all the pictures that we saved

inside the coffee shop
where we both sat and talked
where i began to fall in love
and you began to think too much

you wanted me i wanted you
but things were too good to be true
cause i lived six hours away
that wasn’t something you could do

i’m wishing that i never cried and that my phone you never called
i’m wishing that i held your hand i’m wishing that i spilled it all
i should’ve spilled it all
by the waterfall

[hook]
thanks for nothing
i’m sick of all the suffering
i feel the anxious thinking from my brain into my stomach
you make me feel like loving isn’t nothing but a substance
i wish i saw it coming got no choices i’m a puppet

i still look at your name on the corner of the page
from the letters that you wrote me when we went our separate ways
when it ended
i’m sick of seeking vengeance
i’m sick of seeing waterfalls from my eyelids when i’m restless
