 [INTRO]

   Em C G D 
 . 
 [Intro]

 Huh
               G D
 I'm tired, man

                                              Em        C 
 Sometimes I just sit in my room and I just hold my breath
  C                                        G 
 And let all the pressure and anxiety build up
  G                           D 
 And just let the time pass by

 [VERSE] 
 Em 
 At first, I couldn't breathe
  Em 
 Now I'm suffocatin' (Suffocatin')
  C                                                       G 
 Maybe the pressure from the fame isn't worth what I'm chasin' (I don't know)
 G
 I used to say God's playing
           D 
 Now the devil's on my team acting foul and it's all flagrant (Huh)

  Em 
 Tryna push me off the path that I'm steady paving
 C                                                G 
 Sin is the currency and every day I'm making payments (Every day)
 G                                        
 I don't wanna live in it, but I heard a saying
 D 
 "Good knows evil 'cause the houses are both adjacent"

 Em 
 I don't know if I should go for thesе goals
           C 
 I've seen people gain thе world but lose they souls
     G 
 My anxiety is buildin' as the weight of it grows
   D 
 I seclude myself in privacy inside my home

          Em 
 And I barely answer calls, and when I see my phone
         C 
 I'm reminded that the real feelin' of being alone (Real feelin')
           G 
 Is having millions who love you but can leave you
                     D 
 Or say that they hate you at the moment they don't fuck with a song

              Em 
 I used to laugh it off

 Now I hold my breath and suffocate (That's what I do)
    C                                      G 
 Then I sit and wait just to see if I can kill the hate (I can kill)
   G                                    D 
 And as I'm fleetin' I see God at the heaven's gates
    D 
 Then come back down to fight another day

 Em
 Then I grab that same phone and smile and wave
    C
 And pour my empty heart into a song that they won't praise
  G 
 They say patience is the key but they didn't tell me
  D 
 While I wait, I'd be locked inside a steel cage

 Em 
 Something's wrong, I feel claustrophobic (Claustrophobic)
            C 
 I'm stuck living in the past and not the moment (The moment)
          G 
 Or the future where my life is only more broken (More broken)
                D
 Cause those wounds from the past are still open (Still open)

         Em 
 I take sips of love and every single time it's poison
        C 
 I see women who can't see past my employment
             G 
 Or see me as enjoyment so I can't enjoy it
                      D 
 'Cause the ride's temporary and they leave once they crash and destroy it

            Em 
 I don't think this life is healthy, why didn't anybody tell me?
      C 
 Everybody'd want help but nobody'd wanna help me
          G
 I'm an ATM, a therapist and everybody's friendly
           D 
 And they hide their real intentions, but my mind won't let me

       Em
 If I make a sad song, don't ask me if I'm happy
   C 
 Fuck a hook, my pain isn't catchy
  G 
 If you relate, or worse, feel badly
         D 
 Fuckin' pity me at least, and check in if you at me

             Em 
 That's the only way I'll know who it touches
                     C
 That's why I stay awake and answer DMs by the hundreds (By the hundreds)
             G 
 So I don't lose myself and fill my stomach
                            D 
 With the feelin' that I'm here just to suffocate for nothin'

                    Em 
 If you know real pain then you see it when you look me in my eyes (Fuckin' pain)
  C 
 I try to hide it, but they do not lie
  G 
 I wanna sleep, but if I try
      D 
 The demons who creep in my dreams will collide

        Em 
 So I stay up and I stare at the ceilin'
                  C 
 And ask myself if I should even share these feelings
                 G 
 Then I hear a voice in the distance from a ghost like image
             D 
 Sayin' my pain could be somebody's healin'

                 Em                     C 
 So I close my eyes and drift to the place that inspires these lyrics
                 G 
 And as I see flames and I scream
                D 
 I pray it's a place you'll never have to visit
