If I should die before I wake
I just pray that you'll be okay
I don't see what you see in me
But I see it's easy with me away
No I won't even be afraid
So don't be lonely with me away
It's too late now it's D-O-A
But I'm free okay
At peace today
I'm sorry if it feels too late
Like you really could've helped me but I went the wrong way
I don't even got to tell you when you hear the song play
You just feel it in your stomach and you wonder all day
Why I had to go and do it to myself
When I knew I needed help
And you knew I wouldn't ask
But you knew within yourself
That you couldn't see the signs
'Cause I blinded everybody with the laughs and the smiles and the times you would ask
And I'd say that I was fine and I wasn't
Say it to my brother and my babies and my cousins
Like a pet peeve when I would say that it was nothing
Felt like a release when I would get away with bluffing
It's tough man
I don't even know how I could do it quite honestly
I could be chilling
Then all the feelings would surface and pile up on top of me
Stopping me
From being present at times where we'd
All be together
If I should die before I wake
I just pray that you'll be okay
I don't see what you see in me
But I see it's easy with me away
No I won't even be afraid
So don't be lonely with me away
It's too late now it's D-O-A
But I'm free okay
At peace today
Listen and I know that you'll be disappointed
That I didn't come to you and I would just avoid it
When I fell into this void and I would block the noises
When I could've took a minute to see that it's gorgeous
All this life that we made, we could make some more of it
But the boy that was tired had to stop and forfeit
Felt like I was in the fourth quarter looking towards it
See the light at the tunnel getting brighter more lit
Like a torch is
Or it's
The way that
All the weight stacked
Could break faith before it breaks backs
Ain't that a shame when I got a great back bone here
Never even seen how you masked your tears
And I've been too stuck in my own head
So even while you suffer I was already gone and
You were left with this whole heart full of gold
So you listen to this poem and the words in the song says
If I should die before I wake
I just pray that you'll be okay
I don't see what you see in me
But I see it's easy with me away
No I won't even be afraid
So don't be lonely with me away
It's too late now it's D-O-A
But I'm free okay
At peace today
If I should die before I wake
I just pray that you'll be okay
I don't see what you see in me
But I see it's easy with me away
No I won't even be afraid
So don't be lonely with me away
It's too late now it's D-O-A
But I'm free okay
At peace today
