Down - Barrage

Feel like, sometimes nobody gives a shit, ya know?

They’re so caught-up in their own world, ‘n I’m right there…

Drownin' right in front of ‘em

It’s not a cry for help, just… whatever

Here I am again, takin' shots alone

You can’t peak my mind there’s nobody home

Just this heavy weight to take ‘em down

I can’t take the wait, I’m just going down

I got a full drum roll of revolver rounds

I got half a mind to spin ‘em round

Like a pirouette, Russian roulette

Just one more bottle of Percocet

To dull the pain (to dull the pain)

I promised y’all I wouldn’t be upset

But I’m strung out feelin like a marionette

Can’t take no more, but they ain’t havin' it

So here’s the last bottle from the cabinet

Just sayin (sayin')

Who the f*** plays this game with lives in the chamber, shit…

I’m as stable as a caged horse

Doped-up being used for the race course

Never had much to stand on

Just broken dreams and a broken leg to boot

How am I supposed to carry the team without chokin'

And run the given route

I been castin' doubt for a long time

I can’t hide the hurt, is that a crime?

Take me out back and do your worst

I’ve lived through things and the pain it hurts

I ran so hard, but I didn’t finish first

‘N I wasn’t last, but that sure pain did

I wasn’t last, but that sure pain did

I wasn’t last, but that sure pain did

I wasn’t last, but that sure pain did

Oh my child, I’ll save you

Even through that dark dark blue

Just know someone there loves you

And it’s okay to love yourself too

They say pressure makes diamonds but boy are they lyin'

Pressure bursts pipes ‘n leaves shrapnel flyin'

Pressure pulls triggers —

Pushes rebellion from authority figures

If I was a diamond, pressure, filed off my jagged edge

Had me conform to the rest-a, same cut as everyone else

Here’s your jagged little pill to smooth out all your difference

Does it matter if it kills my dreams 'n shade my gleam

Just indifference

Is there anybody else on this lonely walk

I won’t trip you up, I just need to talk

I feel a bit unsteady and I need a rock

Just came from the crash and I’m takin stock

Give it one more go on the safety lock

Or flip that shit and let the pistol cock

You tell me cuz I ain’t got the answers

My problems grow like a thriving cancer

'N I got a sawed-off to take off the edge

‘N I’m bout to jump-off we’ll talk off the ledge

You can try to save me, but you better hurry

Maybe God’ll catch me, but he don’t seem too worried

Depression is flexin' its transgressions

And pulling me in a dark direction

Try to run it out, but it catches up

Try to burn it out, it’s not up to snuff

Try to outsmile it, but got low mileage

It can see right through, you can’t beguile it

It’s got my number, ‘n it always dials it

If I don’t pick-up, just know I fired it

Oh my child, I’ll save you

Even through that dark dark blue

Just know someone there loves you

And it’s okay to love yourself too

Oh my child, I’ll save you

Even through that dark-dark blue

Just know someone there loves you

And it’s okay to love yourself too
