[English]

Suddenly, suddenly

I watched you decide how it's gonna be

Summon me, summon me

To the other side from this tragedy

Underneath, underneath

Hide it all inside, underneath

Kept it in disguise under me

Everyone's alive except for me

No one on my side, it is only me (only me)

How can I survive? By any means (any means)

Have you ever f- cried in a limousine? (Oh-oh)

Think about you when I'm high, you're like a melody

Oh, in my head, no-oh

I thought we had something special, it ended up dead

Fuck it, ended up dead, damn

You were on my side, allegedly (on my side, bro)

Fell out with my guys 'cause of jealousy (what the fuck, bro?)

I thought we was tight, but we're enemies (what the fuck?)

Now it's on sight if you mention me, I flipped the switch (oh)

And turned, and turned off my emotions like I f- glitched (word)

And, and I'm too high to notice (yeah)

Fallin' through the oceans (oh)

Drownin' in this drink that look like potions

This shit get me through the motions, oh-oh

Suddenly (yeah), suddenly (yeah)

I watched you decide how it's gonna be

Summon me (summon me), summon me (oh-oh)

To the other side from this tragedy

Underneath (underneath), underneath (underneath)

Hide it all inside, underneath (all inside)

Kept it in disguise under me (disguise)

Everyone's alive except for me

(Me, except for me, yeah)
