I Don't Want to Die
Lyrics
Lemme tell you about my life
And like, how I feel and shit
Check, uh
Blood flows til my arm goes cold
I'm numb
So young
But I feel so old
Take a second
I think about my life unfold
In the scope of the universe
Stories untold
I don't think I wanna die
But if death is better than this
I'll take my chances
Close my eyes
Fade to black
Blood dripping like tap
In my mind have my memories dancing
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
But I don't wanna live
I don't wanna live
I don't wanna live
I'm just tryna get high
Tryna get high
Tryna get high
Coz something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
I said I don't wanna die
But I don't wanna live
I just wanna get high
Because something's gotta give
I feel like I'm living in a maze
I feel what I feel is a feeling that is more than just a phase
I feel like I'm running out of days
I feel like I'm running out of ways
Baby, make me wanna stay
I feel stuck
I feel trapped
I don't really feel alive
But I feel rap
I feel music
I feel like if you listen to it
You a feel a movement
You a feeling so soothing
Truth is
This is therapy
I don't talk
But you feel what I feel
When you listen to my melodies
Heavenly
Remedy
For the pain lodged deep
In between your memories
Energy
Manifest life for my people
I manifest life for my people
I'm never gonna stop til we're equal
And anyone who says that we're equal
Is nothing but a demon and deceitful
I'm peaceful
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
But I don't wanna live
I don't wanna live
I don't wanna live
I'm just tryna get high
Tryna get high
Tryna get high
Coz something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
I said I don't wanna die
In many ways, I've contemplated death
I guess I'm different to them all
Feel like I'm not even human
Consumed by my thoughts
And I think I'mma fall
Where is the remedy
Where is the cure for the pain I've been feeling
I'm hoping the world doesn't get to me
A fan of my thoughts
I should hang from the ceiling
Consumed by the darkness
I hope that it's different for you
Nothing has changed
Now my constant is pain
Coz it feels like I'm numb
I've got nothing to prove
I couldn't talk about living my truth
I don't exist
I've got nothing to lose
Stuck in my ways
I've been fading away
I've been living in hell what the fuck should I do
What should I do for this
Thoughts about losing my youth for this
Selling my soul out of hopelessness
Versions of me that do not exist
Raised in the dark, I'm a part of this
Constantly losing my consciousness
I don't even know what my problem is
Take me a part
I'm a piece of shit
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
But I don't wanna live
I don't wanna live
I don't wanna live
I'm just tryna get high
Tryna get high
Tryna get high
Coz something's gotta give
Something has got to give
Lemme tell you about my life
And like, how I feel and shit
Check, uh
Blood flows til my arm goes cold
I'm numb
So young
But I feel so old
Take a second

I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
But I don't wanna live
I don't wanna live
I don't wanna live

Tryna get high

Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
