Lyrics

[Intro]
Powder, pow-pow-powder
Powder, pow-pow-powder
[Verse 1]
Don't wanna know where you go when you aren't around
Rather stay naive
Too much to believe
Blood flowin' out from your nose and I'm wonderin', "How?"
You glamorize your pain, wear it on display
[PreChorus]
And I know it's a cry for help
Go help yourself
I've opened a million doors
You never go
It's past point of no return
When will we learn?
Alert me when this shit is over
[Chorus]
Lyin' loud through it all
Cut your face from the fall
When you're hurt, who'd you call?
I can't answer now
Spent the rent on a high
One-way street to the scythe
Clean it up, watch you die
It's yours to decide
[Chorus]
Powder, pow-pow-powder
Powder, pow-pow-powder
[Verse 2]
Show me a picture you painted of someone else
Lived a double life
Wish I was surprised
Eyes rollin' back to your head, and I'm wonderin', "How?"
I recognize your face, put it all to waste
[PreChorus]
And I know it's a cry for help
Go help yourself
I've opened a million doors
You never go
It's past point of no return
When will we learn?
Alert me when this shit is over
[Chorus]
Lyin' loud through it all
Cut your face from the fall
When you're hurt, who'd you call?
I can't answer now
Spent the rent on a high
One-way street to the scythe
Clean it up, watch you die
It's yours to decide
[Chorus]
Powder, pow-pow-powder
Powder, pow-pow-powder
Powder, pow-pow-powder
Powder, pow-pow-powder
[PreChorus]
And I know it's a cry for help
Go help yourself
I've opened a million doors
You never go
It's past point of no return
When will we learn?
Alert me when this shit is over
[Chorus]
Lyin' loud through it all
Cut your face from the fall
When you're hurt, who'd you call?
I can't answer now
Spent the rent on a high
One-way street to the scythe
Clean it up, watch you die
It's yours to decide
[Outro]
Powder, pow-pow-powder
Powder, pow-pow-powder
Powder, pow-pow-powder
Powder, pow-pow-powder
