lyrics

each movement that i make could make a movement
stress fatigue
each movement that i make could
glass gun deadly recipe
movement that i make could make a move
edge of the precipice
each movement that i make could make a
trigger finger press release

now i know you heard of me
i know you saw
i know you’re cursing me
round of applause
like i don’t deserve to breathe
life when he’s not
like why was i personally trying to be god
now some of us murder and some of us lie
but i am not one of them
i am not one of them
why
pull out a gun to survive
fire a gun and then die a thousand deaths
if you really knew me you would know
i am afraid of the dark
if you really knew me you would know
try to be brave in my heart
but monologue monologue stereotype
i am not one of them
i am not one of them
why
pull out a gun to survive
fire a gun and then die
buried alive

buried alive buried alive buried alive
don’t let me be

yea shadows I battled and fell short
hands up and lay down for a day
yea yea yea
rattled by the snakes that don’t show up and support
get tread on with nothing to say
the flag doesn’t sway without a plentiful breeze
i rather be buried than swing from a tree
and all of the yous are just different me’s
wanna speak less cuz I am choosing to see
this epiphany
in infancy diplomacy is listening
to the child in each of us scream
a little bit of wisdom is a dangerous thing
and I don’t give a dam
without a militant eve
i’m deep but I’m not

if you could ever know
the thoughts i've known and seen what i have seen
all the spiteful stones that i’ve thrown did not protect me
i want you to know these heavy stones nearly crushed me
if i’d only known that heavy load that brought me low would help me grow i wouldn’t be
