Intro:
I've been trying to breathe underwater
(Some days it's hard for me to want to stay afloat)
I've been trying to hide cause I'm scared
(I don't want to talk about what I fear and loathe)
Confusing which is worse than the other
(Don't ask me how to spot the difference, I don't know)
Cause it doesn't mean so much in the end
It's Class_Sick
Verse One:
Middle of the night, I'm crying, here we go again
It's a struggle just surviving, put the focus in my pen
Always hustle no retirement I'm a soldier to thе end
You can't walk on and make varsity, don't ask us how our heart could freezе
These monsters play they part with ease then rob you for your scarf and jeans
Life always been hard to please, Freddy and Voorhees can see that we just wanna offer peace
Our city want us all deceased, in the scarcity of artistry
I'm the one who sparked belief, the rose that grew to see
These concrete dreams defeat the scrutiny
Now I flex my scars, probably rock em like some jewelry
No beef is on my board, only cheese, that's charcuterie
Every day's a jubilee with middle fingers that fuel me
Supposed to be dead truthfully, happiness eluded me
Beat myself up crucially, remember who you used to be
Push my limit farther for the son I never fathered
To my mom I need to call her, see that light just getting darker cause
Hook:
I've been trying to breathe underwater
(Some days it's hard for me to want to stay afloat)
I've been trying to hide cause I'm scared
(Conversations with myself about what I fear and loathe)
Confusing which is worse than the other
(Don't ask me how to spot the difference, I don't know)
Cause it doesn't mean so much in the end
(But I guess it never really did though)
Verse Two:
Fighting with the reaper for I am my brother's keeper
Getting flooded with intoxicants, my oceans getting deeper
Neglected Aphrodite, my obsessions with Athena
But I'm Oizys baby way my anxiety's going crazy
This depression got me lately, these feelings they just evade me
I played the villain greatly, I wonder if Lord can save me
See angels seem like they hate me, hear demons constantly praise me
I lost some people close to me, I think about them daily
I struggle, still with pain, misery bubbles in my veins
But the grief I can't explain, I find peace dancing with the flames
Learning to surf the waves until my wings I have regained
I'll die if I never change, head to the sky it's time to change
Bridge:
This journey's been hellacious, from the monsters I hold sacred
Drown under the waves, feel my energy become faded
Intrusive thoughts invaded, at times don't feel like I'll make it
The spirits never vacated, my third eye's finally awakened
This journey's been hellacious, from the monsters I hold sacred
Drown under the waves, feel my energy become faded
Intrusive thoughts invaded, at times don't feel like I'll make it
The spirits never vacated, my third eye's finally awakened
Hook:
I've been trying to breathe underwater
I've been trying to hide cause I'm scared
Confusing which is worse than the other
Cause it doesn't mean so much in the end
Verse Three:
My temple benefits, temporal sentiments
Of quintessential etiquettes, for existential rhetoric
Of Class_Sicks embellishments, spelling hymns, majestic wits
Excel at whim, can't send me back to hell again
I flailed my wings, prevail to win, guarding my own energy
Praises to the entity, allow me to ascend and see
I live my life defiantly, so come the day you mention me
Don't ever use parentheses, parameters can barely keep me away from enemies
Permission I will never need, expecting me to bend a knee
Someone will catch a felony, these emotions can be torturous
The heart you burned, I'm forged with it, the pain in life is gorgeous
And they mad I never forfeited, I can't afford it, I was born for this
My soul is tormented, the storms ended, disoriented
Wicked ways have been amended, far from finished, keep on swimming
For those passed away, wanna see us winning, the hurd is thinning
Amongst this earnest living, forgive my sinning
Hook:

(Conversations with myself about what I fear and loathe)
Confusing which is worse than the other
(Don't ask me how to spot the difference, I don't know)
Cause it doesn't mean so much in the end
Outro:
I've been trying to breathe underwater
I've been trying to hide cause I'm scared
Confusing which is worse than the other
Cause it doesn't mean so much in the end
I've been trying to breathe underwater
I've been trying to hide cause I'm scared
Confusing which is worse than the other
Cause it doesn't mean so much in the end
