Never Thought Lyrics by No.use

Barcode - EP

2019

[Verse 1: no.use]
Uh, thinkin’ back when I was bussin’ tables to pay for blunts
Still in high school, I’s just dreamin’ ‘bout what I’d become
Still in my head, hadn’t even done shit
Sound asleep in bed without a worry ‘bout nothin’
Still just meetin’ my girlfriend who I’s fallin’ in love with ‘fore I realized all the struggle that love is
Back when ignorance was bliss, when i believed, before I shrugged it
So innocent and idealistic ‘fore I said “Fuck it!”
I was just a kid, hadn’t grown up yet
Posted in a cloud with plans of me comin’ up quick
Knew I could write, but didn’t know quite the level of fuck shit we all be on
Never thought that I might just quit
Never entertained the thought that I’d stay home ‘stead of going to college
That I’d stop going to class cuz I was an alcoholic
Never knew I’d fall on my ass when I thought I had lost it
Or that I could pick the pen back up and put down the vodka
And when I first got panic attacks, I never thought I could stop ‘em
Never thought the sadness would pass when I finally got off cigs
Never thought I’d pick myself up when I knew I was all I had
Or that I wouldn’t need someone else to help me through the bad
Never thought I’d stop obsessing or ever get over my ex
And that’s not to say that I don’t always wish her the best
It’s just time has a way of showing
Though sick in the head, you can remain composed and learn to live with the mess
‘Cause happiness is just a state of mind, not a guarantee
You just have to get through the crazy nights alive and in one piece
The fact is your anger and your plight will never really leave
But after you wake to that light, you'll find you're actually free
Never thought I’d finally be okay with me being depressed
Just gotta ride the wave, accept the way my mind is set
I got to realize I can make more out of life than death
Till then, all I can do is try my best (Try my best, yeah)

[Chorus 1: Maia Ciambriello & (no.use)]
And it’s been hard (Yeah)
But you never thought that you’d get this far (You know)
But when you fall down
You pick yourself up off the ground

[Verse 2: no.use]
Never thought I’d get a show, though just an opening set
Before I sold a record or deposited a check
Never thought my friends wouldn’t go, but now I know not to hold my breath
Thought they’d listen or download but this time I won’t expect
Fuck ‘em all, I don’t need ‘em
I got enough by me, myself, and I
It’s just us on the front lines
But I’m doin’ fine, going dumb, gonna get mine
Leave y’all in the dust
“Bye! Better luck next time”
You’re off of one if you ever thought I be quittin’
Finna blow up and not leave nothin’ for you bitches
Slip on my chucks, I got the only feet that fit in
I’m gonna run to the top and I won’t be trippin
Working too hard to not see this brought to fruition
Been through too much to not get money I could swim in
Hurt too long to be defeated or not believe in this vision, yo
Fuck another life
I'll never stop till I get it, no

[Chorus 2: Maia Ciambriello & (no.use)]
And it’s been hard (Yeah)
But you never thought that you’d get this far
But when you fall down (Yo)
You pick yourself up off the ground
(Alright, come on, motherfucker, I got this one)
