Nail In The Coffin

colder

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)
I been lost all day (yeah)
Uh, yeah, uh

[Hook]
Why I even try?
Don’t wanna step outside
Moonlight feels alright
Sunlight burns my eyes
If I ain’t got you, then I got no life
cry for 2 hours, I’ll be good for the night
Yeah, I’ll be good for the night (uh)
Just me and my vice, yeah

[post chorus]
Did you think that I’d make it?
Nah, I just fake it
Money don’t fix pain, I still can’t escape it
Lookin’ for a feeling I had when I was wasted
Baby, you the only one that ever felt sacred
Now I’m facin’ the mirror, my reflection’s vacant

[Verse 1]
Young, dumb, still runnin’ from myself again
Don’t ask if I’m fine, I’ll just lie again
Only thing that keeps me sane is the pad and pen
Therapy inside the mic, I bleed through the instrument
Lost boy, driftin’ like I’m stuck in Neverland
They don’t understand
How I smile for the cam, but my soul’s in the sand
All these fake friends callin’, I don’t pick up, man
Rather be alone in the dark with my plans

[Hook]
Why I even try?
Don’t wanna step outside
Moonlight feels alright
Sunlight burns my eyes
If I ain’t got you, then I got no life
cry for 2 hours, I’ll be good for the night
Yeah, I’ll be good for the night (uh)
Just me and my vice, yeah

[Outro]
Don’t tell nobody
I’m right beside you
Heard some voices
But I can’t find you
Don’t tell nobody
I’m right beside you
Heard some voices
But I can’t find you
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

vice

[Intro]
Yeah…
Cold nights, red skies
Vampires in my veins tonight

[Verse 1]
She’s walking through my nightmares, but I don’t care
Heart got ripped apart, but her eyes stare
Life’s a haunted house, I’m floating in despair
Ex left me bleeding, but now I feel her somewhere

I used to sip pain in a glass of ice
Lonely city streets, rolling dice
But she’s a flame in the dark, my new vice
Biting my lips, baby, paying the price

[Chorus]
It’s like that
And you like that shit
She’s crawling back, but I won’t slip
Yeah it’s like that
And you like that shit
New girl in my arms, she makes me trip

Vampire nights, I’m alive again
Heart was dead, but she’s my medicine
Yeah it’s like that, and you like that shit
New girl in my arms, she makes me trip

[Verse 2]
Took the scars from my past, put ‘em aside
Ex burned me down, couldn’t hide my pride
She laughs at my darkness, pulls me inside
Moonlight drips over her, can’t fight the tide

I see her shadows dance in candlelight
Her hands on my chest, everything’s right
Old love is ghosts in a grave tonight
But she’s my blood, my thrill, my fight

[Bridge]
Vampire in the night, heart on fire
She healed my soul, sparked desire
Fangs in my veins, love wired
Ex is gone, new queen, never tired

Vampire, vampire
Lost in her gaze, I’m inspired
Vampire, vampire
From the ashes, I’m rewired

[Chorus]
It’s like that
And you like that shit
She’s crawling back, but I won’t slip
Yeah it’s like that
And you like that shit
New girl in my arms, she makes me trip

Vampire nights, I’m alive again
Heart was dead, but she’s my medicine
Yeah it’s like that, and you like that shit
New girl in my arms, she makes me trip

[Outro]
Vampire, vampire
Heart reborn, blood runs higher
Vampire, vampire
New love in the night, I’ll never tire

vampire

[Pre-Chorus]
It was make believe, yeah, you played that role
You still young, but your heart too cold
You don’t even know what you need no more
You just chase highs ’cause you feel too low
Got my heart up on my sleeve
Didn’t think you’d cut that deep
Now I see the truth I didn’t wanna see
So baby, I know you’ll come crawling back to me

[Chorus]
’Cause now nothing feels the same (Yeah)
And I hope you forget my name (Forget my name)
You was drunk, he was there, I was wide awake (Wide awake)
Now I don’t feel no pain for you, for you

[Verse]
You was off the pills with your ex that night
Told me you was home, but I knew that lie
I don’t drink, but I taste your vice
On my lips when you said goodbye
You love chaos, I love peace
You need parties, I need sleep
You need lines just to feel complete
And I need distance just to breathe

[Pre-Chorus]
It was make believe, yeah, you played that role
You still young, but your heart too cold
You don’t even know what you need no more
You just chase highs ’cause you feel too low
Got my heart up on my sleeve
Didn’t think you’d cut that deep
Now I see the truth I didn’t wanna see
So baby, I know you’ll come crawling back to me

[Chorus]
’Cause now nothing feels the same (No)
And I hope you forget my name (My name)
You was drunk, he was there, I was wide awake (Wide awake)
Now I don’t feel no pain for you, for you

[Outro]
You said “forever,” but that’s your curse
You loved me second, you loved him first
Now I’m clean, but it still hurts
You in my head like a ghost in a church

no pain

[Intro]
Yeah… yeah… yeah
Creepin’ through the night, feelin’ like I’m haunted
Yeah… I’ve been lost, I’ve been haunted

[Chorus]
I just got a new pain, make it cut me deep, yeah
Crawlin’ outta my grave, tryna wake from sleep, yeah
Feelin’ all alone, like the world’s against me
All these demons in my head, hope you don’t forget me
I think I need some time, can’t escape my mind
Moonlight on my face, shadows tryna find
Paintin’ broken pictures, tears fall like rain
Tryna numb the sorrow, just to feel again

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I’ve been low, yeah, I’ve been fading
Lookin’ at my past, all these scars I’ve been makin’
Heart shattered on the floor, can’t stop the bleeding
Feelin’ empty in my chest, soul keeps on bleeding
Late nights, city lights, I’m just tryna vanish
Feelin’ so alive when the world feels so damaged
All these voices in my head, they keep on callin’
I fall asleep with pain, yeah, I keep on fallin’

[Verse 2]
Okay, wait… I’m back, but I feel the same
Lost in my thoughts, everybody’s playing games
I met my demons, yeah, I stared in their eyes
Took a knife to my heart, just to feel alive
Creepin’ through the night, with the stars as my guide
I’m haunted by the past, can’t leave it outside
Laughin’ through the pain, but it’s all so hollow
Tryna find some peace, but it’s hard to swallow

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I’m haunted, like a ghost in the dark
Lost in my sorrow, hope I leave a mark
Every night I feel it, the world turns cold
Tryna hold on, but it’s hard to let go

[Chorus]
I just got a new pain, make it cut me deep, yeah
Crawlin’ outta my grave, tryna wake from sleep, yeah
Feelin’ all alone, like the world’s against me
All these demons in my head, hope you don’t forget me
I think I need some time, can’t escape my mind
Moonlight on my face, shadows tryna find
Paintin’ broken pictures, tears fall like rain
Tryna numb the sorrow, just to feel again

[Outro]
Creepin’ through the night, feelin’ like I’m haunted
Yeah… I’ve been lost, I’ve been haunted
Creepin’ through the night, feelin’ like I’m haunted
Yeah… I’ve been lost, I’ve been haunted

haunted

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah...
Baby boy, where you been?
I been lookin’ in the mirror, don’t know who that is
Time flies, but I’m stuck where the pain lives

[Verse 1]
Baby boy, I miss that kid
Used to dream big, now I dream bout the things I did
Cold world made a cold heart, I get it
You built walls, but I still feel what’s in it
Remember nights when you cried in your room
Now I’m numb, but I learned from you
All the scars, all the pills, all the rainy days
You taught me how to feel, even through the pain

[Pre-Chorus]
We could ride around town in that broken whip
Windows cracked, with the smoke and the emptiness
Why’d you fade away, run from me?
You just wanted love, but you bled too deep

[Chorus]
I’d die for you
There’s nothing I won’t do
If I could go back, I’d tell you
Don’t lose the spark inside you, my darling, tonight
Love me the same way
Even when your heart breaks
I promise
You’ll still be the kid I write to, my darling, tonight

[Bridge]
time don’t heal, it hides
pain becomes disguise
Mhm, mhm, I still see your eyes
In every song that I write at night

[Outro]
Baby boy, where you been?
It’s been a while since I felt that grin
When I look in the mirror, it’s like...
You’re still here within
Oh-oh, yeah...
Ah-ah, yeah...
Mhm, mhm, mhm...

baby boy (letter to younger me)

[Chorus]
Life hurts, I can see it in your eyes
Tryna smile but you barely gettin by
I know you're missin her, I can feel it in your silence
You don’t gotta hide it, girl, I’ll sit in the quiet
You said heaven got another one, and girl i know  it’s not fair
You been fightin back tears, playin with your hair
I know you lost things you can’t repair
But I’ll be right here, yeah, I’ll be right here

[Post-Chorus]
Even when the sun don’t shine
You got an angel on your shoulder tonight
she'll hold you through the dark, you'll be fine
As long as you’re alright, as long as you’re alright

[Verse 1]
Yeah, you said she always told you “never stop dreamin’”
Now you feel broken, heart steady bleedin
Late night texts, said you don’t feel the meanin
But I know she’s smilin when she see you breathin 
Said you felt her around your neck, that’s forever
Girl real love don’t fade, it just changes the weather
I know it’s dark, but I’ll hold you through
I’ll take the pain just to lighten it for you

[Pre-Chorus]
You been driftin slow through the pain and the rain
I’ll drive through hell if it takes that away
We’ll roll the windows down, let her favorite song play
And maybe that’ll make it all okay

[Chorus]
Life hurts, I can see it in your eyes
Tryna smile but you barely gettin by
I know you're missin her, I can feel it in your silence
You don’t gotta hide it, girl, I’ll sit in the quiet
You said heaven got another one, and girl i know  it’s not fair
You been fightin back tears, playin with your hair
I know you lost things you can’t repair
But I’ll be right here, yeah, I’ll be right here

[Bridge]
We don’t need to talk, just breathe
I’ll stay close while you fall asleep
If she’s watchin, I hope she sees
You’re everything she wanted you to be

[Post-Chorus / Outro]
Even when the sun don’t shine
You got an angel on your shoulder tonight
I’ll hold you through the dark, you'll be fine
As long as you’re alright, as long as you’re alright
Yeah, you got an angel on your shoulder tonight

angel

[Verse 1]
I’m tired.
Tired of breaking just to keep you whole again.
My mind’s
Been fading tryna talk myself off ledges.
I don’t wanna wait another
Day pretending this is love when it’s
Deadly every time I rise, you drag me under.
But sunrise is on the horizon,
Feels foreign but I see a spark  yeah, I’m
Shaking, but I’m stepping out, I’ve had enough.

[Pre Chorus]
I’m done running from you,
Spent my whole life in your shadow, scared
Of who I’d be if I
Said goodbye and learned to breathe without you there.

[Chorus]

I wish you peace, but I
Can’t keep breaking just to try
And save what’s already
Falling apart.
I loved you, but loving you
Feels like losing who I am, and I
Won’t stay in shadows 
I’m done with the dark.

[Post Chorus]
I’m done.

[Verse 2]
I hope you find peace, but I’m finished bleeding
For someone who uses my heart as a weapon while calling it healing.
I don’t wanna hate you, I don’t wanna save you,
But every time I fall, you twist the blame like I made you
Act how you act  tellin me I’m the problem.
You know that’s not honest. You know I’d be stronger without you.
Been where you’re standin, don’t try to guilt-trip me into
Believing I’m broken when you’re the one breaking the truth.
I love you but not
Enough to let you keep drowning us both just to feel in control.
You drag me back, you pull me down, you make me doubt myself, and I
Hate to walk out, but staying here is killing who I am inside.
I won’t let you twist me up, convince me I’m unworthy of love no.
I’m done watching you take, take, take until there’s nothing left but my ghost.
You’ve had more of me than anyone should.
And yeah, it hurts to go but I know leaving’s the only way I grow.

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m done running from you,
Spent my whole life in your shadow, scared
Of who I’d be if I
Said goodbye and walked out with my heart repaired.

[Chorus]

I wish you peace, but I
Can’t keep breaking just to try
And save what’s already
Falling apart.
I loved you, but loving you
Feels like losing who I am, and I
Won’t stay in shadows 
I’m done with the dark.

[Post Chorus]
I’m done.

dark

[Verse 1]
I swore I had the map in my hands
But all the bridges burned themselves down
And I can’t stand the way the mirror looks back
Another lonely night where I sink into the static (get it together)
Fade into the blankets, whisper, it doesn’t matter
I don’t care if the sun shows up
This weight’s enough
Got a suitcase heart and I’m testing my luck

[Pre‑Chorus]
Cliché yeah, another quiet meltdown
Highways humming, pulling me along
I’m begging for a break even if I’m far gone
Don’t wanna say goodbye, but the night feels endless

[Chorus]
How do I learn to love myself when the world feels out of phase?
Is anyone around to watch me drift down?
Don’t reach I've been sinking in my own sound
Why do I even try? What a wasted fight
Gotta shake this echo in my mind
Feel the dirt crawl over me alive
I’m running out of light

[Verse 2]
I wear a cold face now, please don’t ask questions
Stumbling through the city like I’ve lost connection
Nothing makes sense, paranoia in my chest
Try to drown the ringing, but it spreads
All these trembling emotions
Something’s gotta bend
These words are wilted, fading as they’re spoken
I scream into the open
But no one hears the end

[Pre‑Chorus]
Feels like I’m spinning nowhere fast, same old story
Every day repeats, painted dull and boring
Pulling at the seams from the inside
Don’t wanna say goodbye, but the night feels endless

[Chorus]
How do I learn to love myself when the world feels out of phase?
Is anyone around to watch me drift down?
Don’t reach I've been sinking in my own sound
Why do I even try? What a wasted fight
Gotta shake this echo in my mind
Feel the dirt crawl over me alive
I’m running out of light

Why do I even try? What a wasted fight
Gotta shake this echo in my mind
Feel the dirt crawl over me alive
I’m running out of light

echo
