Barely Alive

Lyrics

[The Jokerr] Ayo, it isn't very complicated, it's just a simple song I've been feeling something, this is what I need to vent it on I'm out of oxygen like what I need to live is gone I'm out of options, everyone I seem to pick is wrong I'm still staring at the mirror trying to crack the puzzle While the straps on my straight-jacket snug and wrap me snuggled I try to scream for help, but all the cries are badly muffled As I struggle beneath this giant pile of blackened rubble You'd think that you would get used to it after long enough It only seems to get harder, I wonder if I'm strong enough I wonder if the sun's coming, wonder if it's dawn enough Or is it time to let go? 'Cause I've been holding on enough Been holding on so long that I've forgotten why My body practically begging me just to stop and die Feeling like my whole life has been built upon an awful lie [Chorus] I'm barely alive, I'm barely breathing I'm barely alive (Alive), I'm barely alive (Alive) I'm barely alive, I'm barely breathing, I'm barely alive (Alive) I might as well be buried alive (Alive) [Sir Skitzo] So in the current day, I feel that I'm barely alive 'Cause there is not one person who would care if I died A lot of people said they would, but they carry the lies So now I'm married to rhymes, I wake and stare at the lines Fuck a stereotype, y'all don't know what I see I try to tell you in a track, but y'all don't know what I mean Even if I said it straight without flowing discreet All you fucking seem to focus on is bumping the beat And now its fucking with me, it's like a hit in the face But now they're fucking with me 'cause I have quickened the pace So I'm ducking beneath, but that's the typical case until my soul folds over And I live with the pain, should I give it again or tie the rope a little tighter? I'm sick of tryna cope with the dope and a lighter My soul's grown cold supposed to be a fighter [Chorus] I'm barely alive, I'm barely breathing I'm barely alive (Alive), I'm barely alive (Alive) I'm barely alive, I'm barely breathing, I'm barely alive (Alive) I might as well be buried alive (Alive) [Toska] Okay it isn't very complicated, fine, I still don't get it though Demons previously beat our back, I'm dragged to hell below I only ever feel security when felt alone So I rope my ghost inside and hide until my shell implodes I never understood or learned to recognize as fair The notion of emotional pain that you don't know why it's there My soul has several incisions and rips But under prudent scrutiny I truly can't identify the tear It's why I'm scared 'cause what's the fucking purpose Innocent people hurt and felled And have to tell themselves they must deserve it I'm so blue, wondering what I could do I dip my fingers in my blood and scribble on the mirror Nothing, worthless far from perfect and have come to terms with that But when I see my crumbling kingdom, get the urge to burn it black It doesn't add up, I'm losing my cool and I'm furious, I'm feeling foolish Duped numerous times and I'm through with it, just bury me [Chorus] I'm barely alive, I'm barely breathing I'm barely alive (Alive), I'm barely alive (Alive) I'm barely alive, I'm barely breathing, I'm barely alive (Alive) I might as well be buried alive (Alive) I'm barely alive, I'm barely breathing I'm barely alive (Alive), I'm barely alive (Alive) I'm barely alive, I'm barely breathing, I'm barely alive (Alive) I might as well be buried alive (Alive)
