Angels

It's not the liquor I'm addicted to, it's feeling brave

The feeling of not feeling the pain

I've been on and off the bottle, I put Oxys up my nostrils, believe me

You do anything to breathe before you suffocate

I couldn't stop it, staying clean was not an option

I was tryna be myself, but being me was such a problem

I just wanted to be Thomas, but Thomas was at the bottom of a hole he dug

And getting comfortable inside a coffin, ayy

He locked in and swallowed the key, caught up, forgot all his dreams

Robbed at a common, became embalmed in a toxic routinе

Beer was the escape, but I got stuck еscaping

Whiskey was the blanket in the coldest basement

Way before the fame, I was wasted

Freezing, doing anything I could to keep the flame lit

To anyone going through the same shit

Heaven's got enough angels, you need to stay here

And I can't make you stay

But sometimes going ain't a choice

And every choice you make

Is one that you didn't avoid

Crash the whip and ditch the car, burn a bridge, follow the stars

You'll find monsters in the dark, but nothing's worth it till it's hard

Sometimes it's hard to see things clear (through your tears)

But anywhere is way better than here (fight your fears)

It's not the liquor I'm addicted to, it's feeling tough

When you get bullied half your life, you feel weak like you just ain't enough

Then you have a couple drinks and you catch a buzz

And finally have the courage to defend yourself and throw a punch

And that adrenaline goes straight into your brain and blood

Addicted to the confidence is practically the greatest drug

Chasing dragons every night in all the latest clubs

What used to be your favorite thing somehow became a dangerous crutch

It was what it was

And that's the thing, it could happen to like any of us

I had great parents, tight friends, strong morals, nice threads

Good school, good looking, good grades, time spent

Being normal only lasted for a while

One bad choice sparked a downward spiral

I've spent half my life tryna climb outta that hole

Heaven's got angels, we need you at home

And I can't make you stay

But sometimes going ain't a choice

And every choice you make

Is one that you didn't avoid

Crash the whip and ditch the car, burn a bridge, follow the stars

You'll find monsters in the dark, but nothing's worth it till it's hard

Sometimes it's hard to see things clear (through your tears)

But anywhere is way better than here (fight your fears)

It ain't the liquor we're addicted to, it's everything else

The happiness we had, but we forget how it felt

We've been drinking with the devil 'cause we're going through hell

Pray to God for a little bit of help

Man, I been there, I did those things

I drank those drinks, I took those pills, I puked in sinks

And the truth ain't pretty, listen up, this a tough one

You get saved by your angels or become one

Crash the whip and ditch the car, burn a bridge, follow the stars

You'll find monsters in the dark, but nothing's worth it till it's hard

Sometimes it's hard to see things clear (through your tears)

But anywhere is way better than here (fight your fears)
