Backslash - Escape Character Lyrics

Shadows in the bushes
Keep me sweating through the heat
While the voices in my head play
Like a banger on repeat
They tell me not to wake up
And they tell me not to sleep
They won't leave me alone
Until I'm six feet deep
My body doesn't function
In a way I understand
Spewing message after message
Foreign language, foreign land
It's like everything is broken
And my brain's turned into sand
So I pop another pill
And take the reigns out of my hands

It's all too much, I don't think that I'm coping
I got far too drunk off the spirits I didn't mean to break open
Evil little men taking up spaces in my mind
Make me sabotage myself I think I'm running out of time
And so I hide
Cuz I don't want to die

I don't know how these monsters found their way into my head because
It used to be okay when they were underneath my bed
And I can't keep going on like this but they don't even care
And the only way to kill them is to pump myself with lead
They're with me all the time and I can't seem to get them out
Till now I never knew that voices could whisper this loud
They drain me of my confidence and fill me up with doubt
I need to get away from them I can't figure out how

Shadows in the bushes
Keep me sweating through the heat
While the voices in my head play
Like a banger on repeat
They tell me not to wake up
And they tell me not to sleep
They won't leave me alone
Until I'm six feet deep
It's all too much, I don't think that I'm coping
I got far too drunk off the spirits I didn't mean to break open
Evil little men taking up spaces in my mind
Make me sabotage myself I think I'm running out of time
And so I hide

I don't want to die
I don't want to die
I don't want to die
