​i tried lyrics

[Intro]

(Listen, hahahahaha)

(I tried to die) The pain won't die

(I tried to take my life) And you caught me with a smile

(I tried) At the corner of my eye

You're surprised

[Verse]

Ayy, long roads, we tumble down this black hole

Stuck in Sunday league but I'm on levels with Ronaldo

A legend in the making, as a kid, I dreamed of Al Capone

We filled cracks of broken homes with broken dreams and broken bones

If walls could scream, ears would bleed, you've gotta keep 'em clean

Could set it straight but I guess it's just what many need

Hug the world with open arms and they treat me like a pest

All the scores that I possess, you're gonna do me like this?

The charm just napalm, ticking time bomb, got Tourette's (Boom)

Surrounded by pythons, stick a sword right through their neck (Yeah)

You're fucking with templars crusading through the ends

Forbidden fruit tastes the best with no trespass on the fence (Fence)

Crawl before you walk but I've been running from this tool

Fuckery decisions, yeah, the shit that made me this cool

Life got me in a headlock, back and forth like a hockey puck

Always wanted muscles, lack of strength made me headstrong

Watch 'em crumble 'cause they sour like rhubarb

Know my cake and custard inside out like a tube sock

I wish I was manuka in my mind I can't do wrong

Still waiting for the boy I be, I think it's time to move on

Brothers and sisters, pour a tea and try to oolong

Running from my struggles back and forth like the Chuckles

As morbid as it seems, I'll never wake up from this sleep

If Hell's meant for sinning, Heaven's never been for me

[Outro]

I want to know (Brrat, brrat)

Where I should never go

The cut

I've got a sickness

And I'm dealin' with it

It feels like I'm sinking

All of the time
