this is the closest i’ve come to
dying but i’m still in my bedroom
i saw it going down down down
i thought nothing could save me now now now
in that moment it was over
the weight of the world slipped off my shoulders
i smiled cuz there’s no getting older
wrong turn
i was so fucking burned out
when i learned
i was just dreaming about
control
or maybe the lack there of
although in the morning i wake up
jesus please just take the wheel
it’s in my hands but it’s all too real
the car was quiet quiet quiet
maybe they felt death was private
no one said a goddamn thing
and i was too caught up to think
that this was my mind on the brink of
despair
i’ve been so fucking bummed out that
i swear
all the voices in my head sound
just like
everyone i seem to know
all night
but it’s better than being alone
good god
i can’t take another night
cannot
i can’t take another night
or thought
i can’t be the one to drive
good god
i swore i was about to die
