Shah Mat
I wrote my first bars when Anton got on the beatbox
I write more after bartenders cut me off
My head is foggy
And I shake ideas out of my mind when I'm groggy
How much is it gonna cost me in the morning?
When I'm ignoring the pain that serves as my only warning
That I should stop and just put the bottle down
But if I'm drunk on the throne, at least I'm wearing the crown
At least I'm spitting the truth when it happens
And it comes to me like magic whenever I imagine
They go hand in hand, creativity and psychosis
But we don't talk about it until somebody overdoses
Nobody notices the struggle inside
But the glass in my hand is telling me that I
Need 80 proof in the veins to deliver the checkmate
'Cause creation only comes when I open the floodgates
I know it's getting harder everyday
And you feel like you've got no escape
Got no way to keep the darkness at bay
Just hold my hand and say we're gonna make it
I know it's getting harder everyday
And you feel like you've got no escape
Got no way to keep the darkness at bay
Just hold my hand and say we're gonna make it
Try to search for the signs but they're good at hiding
Look deep into their eyes when they're laughing and smiling
When they're in crisis show them you're trying
'Cause you could be the difference of them living or dying
And it's terrifying sometimes
Especially when your best friend's life is on the line
If he had gotten to the knife, it'd be over
If he ended it all, I would never be sober
But wait a minute he's an artist too
Two minds one of a kind face the hardest truth
Should we be afraid to be storytellers today
Since we lost Bourdain and Bennington the exact same way
So much pain from trying to hold on
You've been too strong for too long
And gone is the hope when tempted to attempt it
Reach out the help is there and we just need to accept it
I know it's getting harder everyday
And you feel like you've got no escape
Got no way to keep the darkness at bay
Just hold my hand and say we're gonna make it
I know it's getting harder everyday
And you feel like you've got no escape
Got no way to keep the darkness at bay
Just hold my hand and say we're gonna make it
I write more after bartenders cut me off
My head is foggy
And I shake ideas out of my mind when I'm groggy
How much is it gonna cost me in the morning?
When I'm ignoring the pain that serves as my only warning
That I should stop and just put the bottle down
But if I'm drunk on the throne, at least I'm wearing the crown
At least I'm spitting the truth when it happens
And it comes to me like magic whenever I imagine
They go hand in hand, creativity and psychosis
But we don't talk about it until somebody overdoses
Nobody notices the struggle inside
But the glass in my hand is telling me that I
Need 80 proof in the veins to deliver the checkmate
'Cause creation only comes when I open the floodgates
I know it's getting harder everyday
And you feel like you've got no escape
Got no way to keep the darkness at bay
Just hold my hand and say we're gonna make it
I know it's getting harder everyday
And you feel like you've got no escape
Got no way to keep the darkness at bay
Just hold my hand and say we're gonna make it
Try to search for the signs but they're good at hiding
Look deep into their eyes when they're laughing and smiling

I know it's getting harder everyday
And you feel like you've got no escape
Got no way to keep the darkness at bay
Just hold my hand and say we're gonna make it
