[English]

I've been awake, you've been asleep

I'm in my head, you're in a dream

Smoking a blunt, stuck in the mud

Thinking 'bout pulling a gun and turning it on myself

It's sitting right there up on the shelf

That's one way to get me out this hell

I can hardly breathe 'cause this shit's too heavy

And I don't feel like I'm gonna make it through the day

Don't feel like I'm gonna make it through the day

I remind myself I only gotta make it 'til tomorrow

Make it 'til tomorrow

Can I make it through the day?

Make it through the day

Can I make it through the day?

...

One foot in front of the other, yeah

Take this one step at a time, yeah yeah

Keep your head down, don't you dare look off

'Cause you'll see the mountain and wanna just give up

I'ma figure this out but I don't know what I done wrong

I'm sticking it out but I can see the road is long

You know, it's murder to think about it

It's murder to think about it

Break me down and I don't wanna be here

I don't wanna be here

Oh, I don't wanna be here

No, I don't wanna be

When I don't feel like I'm gonna make it through the day

Don't feel like I'm gonna make it through the day

I remind myself I only gotta make it 'til tomorrow

Make it 'til tomorrow

Can I make it through the day?

Make it through the day

Can I make it through the day?
