Lyrics
[Verse 1]
On our knees, we pray as we waste away
And we dig our grave, dead on arrival
[Verse 2]
I close my eyes and contemplate on why I chose to be great
I find myself tryin' to escape from where I'm supposed to be safe
Or maybe I should pray like I'm supposed to be saved
Sometimes I feel like getting even, but I chose to behave
[Verse 3]
I'm mentally locked in a prison and I need bail
But the internet will kill me quicker than the streets will
And if that shit doesn't kill me, then the police will
Or maybe all the refills, or the E pills, or the lean will
[Verse 4]
I wish I was more flourished, I wish I had more courage
I feel like there's more purpose and maybe it's all worth it
I wanna keep on learning, but I couldn't be more nervous
When I keep looking for answers and I gotta keep on searching
The tables keep on turning
[Verse 5]
Tryna call up to Jesus, but the phone keep on ringing
I think I need more service, the calls seem more urgent
And all I see is more murders, the soldiers keep on serving
I wonder if it's all worth it, I wonder
[Verse 6]
On our knees, we pray as we waste away
And we dig our grave, dead on arrival
In this mess we made, fill our lungs with hate
Just to numb the pain, dead on arrival
[Verse 7]
Dead on arrival
Dead on arrival
[Verse 8]
I can't breathe
Got my head on the guillotine
Slip knot around my neck, come and take a seat
Watch 'em bury me down till I'm six feet deep in the underground
Dead is the land of the free
[Verse 9]
Don't give, just take every time you need
Don't give, just take though it's killing me
Don't give, just take every time you need
Don't give, just take
[Verse 10]
On our knees, we pray as we waste away
And we dig our grave, dead on arrival
In this mess we made, fill our lungs with hate
Just to numb the pain, dead on arrival
[Verse 11]
Dead on arrival
Dead on arrival
I can't breathe
[Verse 12]
Am I not worth saving?
Am I not worth saving?
[Verse 13]
On our knees, we pray as we waste away
And we dig our grave, dead on arrival
In this mess we made, fill our lungs with hate
Just to numb the pain, dead on arrival
[Verse 14]
Yeah
Dead on arrival
Dead on arrival
[Verse 15]
Dead, dead, dead, dead
Dead, dead, dead, dead
