Killing Them Softly

Don't you die when you're all alone
I bet you die when you're all alone
Don't you die when you're all alone
Sleep softly

I remember the day that we met
The day that we failed
She was killin' me softly like David Chappelle
Or Brad Pitt
The sad shit is I was doing the same thing
Walking up like
Point blank range
I'm still out here breathing
They still don't know my answer when they ask me if I'm goin' out this evening
It's funny, because it's always the same
We drift away, the feeling always remains
At least for me it does
So much for keeping up
The only keeping up that we're doing is with the bills
Or keeping up the illusion that we're okay
It's fine
Waiting for you, waiting in traffic, waiting in line
Going to work, going to smoke, going home
Do it all over again
What they don't tell you is you'll do it alone
Turn off the phone, stare at the wall
Look at myself, what are you doing
Stuck in my room, fuckin' confused
Nothin' is new, it's the same shit everyday, we're stuck in a loop
Check on my man, check on my mom
Check on my son, check on my funds
Going to smoke, going home
Do it all over again and what they don't tell you is you'll do it alone, oh
I think we all see that but we hide from it
We all want the smoke but sometimes people die from it
Some people bury their goal but I keep my eyes on it
You walked, I ran, ayatollah
I don't think they give a damn, not a iota
Yeah I lie, but I'd rather lie low
Probably burned a blunt for every lie that I told
And I burned a bridge with every girl I turned cold
Act like I don't know what I did when I do it though
Act like you don't know who I made this for in the studio
Act like I'm not a topic you bring up when you fight with him
You knew this might happen
You knew you might miss him
You know you might hit him up
Maybe in five years
You know I'm right here
You know I'm right here
You know I'm right here

You know I'm right here if you ever need me

You know I'm right here if you ever
You know I'm right here

Somethin' from me mammy
She hand me down damage
I really don't want it but I still gotta have it
I steal like a bandit
I feel mad offended
I got them deep cuts and I still need a bandage
Somehow I manage to deal
It's so much easier poppin' a pill
When I try stoppin' the poppin' it's always a problem
The problems illusions are real
What did you do to yourself
You got a problem cause I need some help
I tried to kill all them but now they keep comin'
I tried to run from 'em but I'm in the field
I'm in my feels
How in the fuck does it feel
Searchin' for something that's real
Killin' em softly but now they keep callin'
My god this is awful, I'm softly killin' myself
