Lyrics:
I didn't mean to hurt you
When I hurt myself
It's just an empty voice screaming out for help
No I didn't mean to scare you
But I couldn't see
That when I went to hell I was taking you with me

When I close my eyes
I'm climbing in the dark
Trying not to fall apart
Sometimes I get so high
Falling is the only out I see
and I don't wanna take you down with me

(Take you down
Take you down with me)

This life is like a razor
When it cuts I bleed
But it's in my hand and I'm doin' it to me
Sometimes it's like an ocean
And it gets too deep
There's no way now you could rescue me

When I close my eyes
I'm fighting in the dark
Trying not to break your heart
Sometimes I get so high
Falling is the only out I see
And I don't wanna take you down with me

You need to let it go now
Before you drown
I know that you won't understand
But you need to let go of this hand
Cause I'm going down
And I don't wanna take you down with me

Letter:

Yo Fam,

I've been wanting to share something super personal for a while and just wasn't exactly sure how to do it. I'm at the point now where I've heard countless stories from you. Some of you have said my music changed your life, helped you through depression, addiction, a lost loved one, the list goes on. Honestly, I feel bad because you don't know how much that truly means to me, because I've been there too... In the depths.

Six years ago I overdosed on heroin. I struggled with opiate addiction from a young age. I was trapped in it, had no passion, no direction, and truly hated myself. It was such a dark time for me and my family because when it gets bad enough, hope begins to dim and there's no escaping reality. I'm not telling you to preach or say how I found some magical cure or that everyone needs to live like I do. I'm the biggest advocate for people living their own lives and spreading their own love in their own ways. I'm just sharing my story and relating because music saved my life too. With everything that has been going on with my career, I always keep reminding myself of that. My main goal with music is to try and help people overcome their struggles and also enjoy the moment.

With all that said , 'Take You Down' is about my struggles with addiction and what it can do to families and loved ones. It's more specifically about my mom, and how no matter what, she never gave up on me and always continued to see the good even though all I was doing was messing up. To anyone struggling like I did, not just with addiction but anything in life, I hope you guys can find peace in your struggles and know that anything can be overcome. I've been clean since that overdose and I owe that to finding my passion and being surrounded by the most loving people I could ever ask for. Thank you for always listening and being open. Thank you for sharing your own stories and your love of music with me. Love you all forever :)

Lyrics:
Lay my soul out bear by the river
mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm
Let my bridges burn and deliver me
mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm
Bring my soul back from the rhythm of the chains that got me here
It ain’t fair
No, it ain't
mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm

Mercy, mercy, mercy
I’ve no luck with the man upstairs
Help me, help me, help me

Won’t you pray
'cause she don’t hear me like she hears you pray
So just pray for me
Won’t you pray
'cause I’m too far from heaven when I pray
So just pray for me
oh, won't you, won't you pray for me
oh, won't you, won't you pray for me
oh, won't you, won't you pray for me
oh, won't you, won't you pray for me

Mercy, mercy, mercy
Help me, help me, help me
Mercy, mercy, mercy
Help me, help me, help me
Mercy, mercy, mercy
Help me, help me, help me
Mercy, mercy, mercy
Help me, help me, help me
Help me, help me
Help me, help me
Help me, help me

Won’t you pray
'cause she don’t hear me like she hears you pray
So just pray for me
Won’t you pray
'cause I’m too far from heaven when I pray
So just pray for me

oh, won't you, won't you pray for me
oh, won't you, won't you pray for me
oh, won't you, won't you pray for me
oh, won't you, won't you pray for me

LYRICS: 
Flame still burns
Kerosene
Rise and fall
As I breathe

All these pictures on the screen
It’s almost like they’re real 
And I think that I’d do anything
If it meant I didn’t feel
What I feel
And I feel way too much
Truth is NO ONE GIVES A FUCK

That’s why I don’t try
That’s why
I stay high
I know that you’re never gonna hear me
I know that these words’ll go to waste
That’s why
I don’t try

Tried my best
Doors still closed
Love is deaf
For all I know

Sometimes it gets so hard
And I don’t wanna fight
And everyday that passes by
Feels like it might
Be my last
And I feel way too much
Truth is NO ONE GIVES A FUCK

LYRICS: 
Won’t you let me
Love the Lonely
Out of you... Out of you

If you only loved yourself 
don’t take it out on someone else
ohh ohh
If you knew what love was worth
It’d bring your head back to down to Earth
ohh ohh

Won’t you let me
Love the Lonely
Out of you... Out of you

You used to touch me like you’d never felt a thing
I was talking to myself when I thought you were listening
You could’ve left before, was it fun watching me bleed?
Were you taking your time when you left your scars on me?

Won’t you let me
Love the Lonely
Out of you... Out of you

Everywhere
