After The Scripts

लिरिक्स

[Verse 1] They handed me pills after you came my body broke and the pain had a name I held that script like a thin white flag I was tired, scared and I wanted my legs back [Pre-Chorus] Then my brother moved in with tracks on his arms same old hunger same old harm Doc took the pills like doors slamming shut I was already sinking I just needed a push [Chorus] I kept falling down kept falling down from pills to powder from powder down I kept falling down kept falling down when the last bag left I found fentanyl [Verse 2] By twenty-one the bag was gone whole blocks went quiet and the room stayed wrong I learned fast what a desperate mouth buys sold a little piece to keep my bones alive [Pre-Chorus] Cops at the door cold hands, hard talk case on the table my whole life locked I tried to outrun what I had become but shame walks slow and it never runs [Chorus] I kept falling down kept falling down from pills to powder from powder down I kept falling down kept falling down when the last bag left I found fentanyl [Bridge] Prison walls teach the count of loss three missed birthdays and a cross I crossed Kids got smaller in the frame I kept every goodbye is a wound I repaid [Final Chorus] I kept falling down kept falling down from pills to powder from powder down I kept falling down kept falling down lost my name, my home and the ones I loved I kept falling down kept falling down but I’m saying it now so I can get up
