[Verse 1: 360]
Yeah, Yeah. Can you keep a secret dude?
We'll keep this sh*t, between me and you
I've only ever told one person, my girlfriend
So i thought i'd go and let the world in
Look, brother I love ya'
But we're a health risk
Using false wings to escape where no-one else lives
We can't help this
But I'm making myself sick
At how you and I are always making ourselves sick
It's like the drugs are the only thing that'll help this
Really it's that sh*t in our past we haven't dealt with
I'm scared if it was something I dealt with
I'd be in a cell or have my arm where the belt is
Cause i'd find where that motherf*ckers house is
Ask where he got the cards in a hand that he dealt us
And yo I'm sorry if that's selfish
I just ain't afraid to say the sh*t that no-one else is
[Chorus: [?]]
Please don't let me go
I'm hanging by a thread
You don't know this but I need you
To save me from myself
Or give me something else
To live for cause I'm dying slowly
[Verse 2: 360]
Listen, yo, this is the mindset i called in
While chasing after your dream
When you needed more sleep you gotta stay awake
If you want to make it a sure thing
When life gives you the short string
Confusion is the core thing
Spend time just wondering what it all means
If somebody could guide me, by all means
I had to put the bottle down
And the pills, i don't pop em' now
Always escaping from what got me down
Blocking out a memory i'm wishin' i had forgot about
They wanting my singles to be playful
Light hearted fun sh*t that young kids relate too
No-one wants to know about the planet i escaped to
As therapy i used to get rid of something painful
[Chorus: [?]]
Please don't let me go
I'm hanging by a thread
You don't know this but I need you
To save me from myself
Or give me something else
To live for cause I'm dying slowly
[Verse 3: 360]
Don't take this song as me complaining but
I know that I'm saying crazy stuff
My close friends are always telling me i say too much
But those that have been through it tell me I'm brave as f*ck
I'm sorry if I'm rambling, it helps me out of the bottomless pit that I crash landed in
I've never quite understood why the self-destructive me
Is always sabotaging something good
I was out of control, not all there
Destroying my body, with not a care
Now i understand everything that got me there
In a dark tunnel trying to find a light that wasn't there
[Chorus [?]]
Please don't let me go
I'm hanging by a thread
You don't know this but I need you
To save me from myself
Or give me something else
To live for cause I'm dying slowly
Please don't let me go
I'm hanging by a thread
You don't know this but I need you
To save me from myself
Or give me something else
To live for cause I'm dying slowly
