Bm Em7 A Bm
This lighter don’t work, no
Em7 A7 Bm
No flame to spark my goal
Em7 A7 D
My Nike’es laced in dirt, oh
Em A Bm
I've ended up treading on my own soul
Bm Em A
My headphones only working on the left side
A Bm A
But I try, to live the right life
Bm Em A
My eyes wide, and I strive
A Bm
To stop my demons gripping, ripping from the inside
Em A
This road is dark and I can’t find the batteries for my flashlight
Bm A Bm G
I’m blind eyed and I’m tired
Bm Em A x3

[Verse 3] muted
Bm
Sometimes I get these times when it’s like time is against me
A
In my mind I kind of mind yeah that my mind can torture me
F# F#m
But I rhyme ‘cause when I rhyme it’s like my rhymes they set me free
G Gm
And I shine so bright, I shine those times these rhymes come out of me
Bm Em
Sometimes I bleed, sometimes I crawl, sometimes I slip, sometimes I fall
Bm F#
Sometimes times my back is up against the wall so hard that whole building could fall
Bm Em
Sometimes I bruise, sometimes I break
Em D
Sometimes I’m true, sometimes I’m fake
D
Sometimes I’m hoping for a moment when the floor would just start opening and swallow me for goodness sake
Bm F# G
I think I’m gonna break cause I ache and it’s bait I’m awake in a world full of pain superman no cape
Bm
And I’m pressing the breaks but the breaks they break and I’m driving my universe into a lake
Bm
And the weight, the weight of the world don’t wait
G
We make mistakes when it’s all at stake
A Bm
We cook out cake we eat our cake
A N.C.
Sometimes no time for double takes but (That’s just the way life goes sometimes)
But I don’t want to end up in the gutter being battered by my troubles
face down in puddle where the sun don’t shine
Bm
So I’m coming and giving it back, upon the track and attacking ‘em
G A
Stacking up beats like I did with this one I pack it in
B Bm
And I’m praying, oh lord take this pain away
