[English]

I guess I lost my life again

It's just one of those nights again

No one wants their life to end

Drownin' now in a life of sin

I guess I lost my life again

It's just one of those nights again

No one wants their life to end

Drownin' now in a life of sin

Yeah (yeah), yeah (oh)

Yeah (oh), yeah (oh)

Yeah (oh), yeah (oh)

Yeah (oh)

Bloodshot, blue eyes, I recorded two tonight

One is for all those I love, this one's for the suicide

Everything is blue inside, everyone ain't you and I

People won't say how they feel about you until you die

Everything's cinematic, protagonist catches a bad habit

By the end, he's a damn addict

Leave 'em guessin', make a sequel

Let everyone say that it wasn't as good as the first

And they lost the damn magic

Y'all being pragmatic, –tch, I'm Illmatic

I'm rich and still savage, I'm rich, and I'm unhappy

I wish I was back in the days

When I had a – shirt with my hat backwards

Now I'm alone in a vamp castle

I'm telling myself it's the last capsule

But why would I even wanna be alive

To see her with someone at Art Basel? So I

I guess I lost my life again

It's just one of those nights again

No one wants their life to end

Drownin' now in a life of sin

I guess I lost my life again

It's just one of those nights again

No one wants their life to end

Drownin' now in a life of sin

Yeah (oh), yeah (oh)

Yeah (oh), yeah (oh)

Yeah (oh), yeah (oh)

Yeah (oh), yeah (oh)
