[English]

I take drugs to express myself

Tell stories only drugs tell

Felt the weight lift of my body

But I woke up feeling sorry

Oh, don't take it personal

Can't have company in hell

Spending days in ill seclusion

Not okay, but I keep moving

Oh, and if you think that I'm gonna fall off

You ain't wrong, you ain't wrong, you ain't wrong

But just remember I always get up

Won't be long

Welcome to my house

I'm lazy like a sedative

Welcome to my house

I'm ugly like the seven sins

Welcome to my house

I'm broken like my heritage

Welcome to my house (yeah, yeah)

Welcome to my house (my house)

I don't think before I speak

Hurt the ones I long to keep

I lose grip of my emotions

The worlds moving in slow motion

Tired of fighting for respect

Tired of absence and neglect

I reflect just like a mirror

You need help, well, I can't hear you

Oh, and if you think that I'm gonna fall off

You ain't wrong, you ain't wrong, you ain't wrong

But just remember I always get up

Won't be long

Welcome to my house

I'm lazy like a sedative

Welcome to my house

I'm ugly like the seven sins

Welcome to my house

I'm broken like my heritage

Welcome to my house (yeah, yeah)

Welcome to my house (my house)

But I swear, I swear I can be good

And pretty like a storm

Calm like the ocean, soft like the air

And warm like summer rain

But no one see's in

And it's always dark

And I'll never trust you for your word

A fatherless child

A heavenly gift

Yet, I'll only blossom if I'm allowed

Welcome to my house

I'm lazy like a sedative

Welcome to my house

I'm ugly like the seven sins

Welcome to my house

I'm broken like my heritage

Welcome to my house (yeah, yeah)

Welcome to my house (my house)

Welcome to my-

I'm lazy like a sedative

Welcome to my house

I'm ugly like the seven sins

Welcome to my house

I'm broken like my heritage

Welcome to my house (yeah, yeah)

Welcome to my house (my house)
