Bleach my hair, mess it up

Take my life, dress it up

Signed a deal, I got paper cuts

They wanted them, but they got us

Yeah, yeah

Sleepin' in, faked sick

Smoked a blunt, had a kid

Don't belong, I'm a punk

Hello world, you fuckin' suck

Hey

Hey

Keep my mouth shut and wave

Hey

Hey

I'm dancing on my grave

Everybody's so nice lately

(Everybody's not nice)

Polarized

Feelings, I don't wear them on my face lately

(I don't wear them on my face)

Internalized everything the headlines say lately

(Everything they say)

Demonized just because I was an angel face baby

(Baby)

Career suicide

Hey

Hey

Keep my mouth shut and wave

Hey

Hey

I'm dancing on my grave

I spent a lot of nights thinking

I might go to sleep and then never wake up

I spend a lot of money on these therapy sessions

Even though I'm not showing up

I spend a lot of time healing my mind and my heart

But I still put these drugs in my gut

Me and my girl were just screaming at each other

Right before we both got out of the truck

I got some demons inside

I'm tryna free them inside

I'm from the Cleveland East Side

Where the boy who was just starving with you now might try to eat you alive

Damn, ya'll said that that I switched genres

I saw the limit and took it farther

I'm a genius, could've made Donda

But this song is for my dead father

Uh

Hey
