slowthai - i tried Lyrics

(I tried to die) The pain won't hide
(I tried to take my life)
And you caught me with a smile (I tried)
Out the corner of my eye
Surprise

Ay, long road
Took a tumble down this black hole
Stuck in Sunday League but I'm on levels with Ronaldo
A legend in the making, as a kid I dreamed I'm Al Capone
We filled cracks of broken homes with broken dreams and broken bones
If walls could scream, ears would bleed
You gotta keep 'em clean
Could say it's dread, but I guess
It's just what made me, me
Hug the world with open arms
And they treat me like a pest
All the scars that I possess
You're gonna do me like this?

The charm just napalm
Ticking time bomb got Tourette's (boom)
Surrounded by pythons
Stick a sword right through their neck
You're fucking with Templars
Crusading through the ends
Forbidden fruit tastes the best
With no trespass on the fence (fence)
Crawl before you walk, but I been running from, this tall
Fuckery decisions, yeah, the shit that made me this cool
Life got me in a headlock, back and forth like a hockey puck
Always wanted muscles, lack of strength made me headstrong
Watch them crumble 'cause they're sour like Rhubarb
Know my cake and custard inside-out like a tube sock
I wish I was Manuka, in my mind I can't do wrong
Still waiting for the boy, B, I think it's time to move on
Brothers and sisters, pour a tea and try and Oolong
Running from my struggles back and forth like the Chuckles
As morbid as it seems, I'll never wake up from this sleep
If hell's meant for sinning, Heaven's never been for me

(I want to go)
(Where I should never go)
(The cut)
I've got a sickness
And I'm dealing with it
It feels like I'm sinking
All of the time
