[Ego Mackey]
I tried to love you, and I can't love you (Yes it's true, it's true)
I tried to love you, I can't love you
I tried to love you, I— (Ego Mackey)
(Yeah, yeah)
(And you don't seem to—)
[Pre-Verse: Ego Mackey & Jasmine Rodgers]
Started aching when you left
(And you don't seem to—)
Addiction tolerances
(And you don't seem to—)
Misuse right after you left
(And you don't seem to—)
Try my hardest just to repress, yeah
(And you don't seem to—)
[Verse 1: Ego Mackey]
Can't tell the difference between these realities
Social networks make it so hard to f*cking breathe
Slipping out of it, who is me? Addiction, lost, some druggie (a druggie)
High on the internet trying to make money, make art, this sh*t doesn't
Really work, unless the feeling is some hurt (hurt)
I just really want to leave this world (this world, ah)
I'm in the basement, you'll find me curled
Hitting up bowls, [?]
All this simulation, my brain just turned
She left my messages just on seen
I just poured up some more of that (f*cking) lean (hahaha)
Thinking how things could be
(Present day, present time, ahaha)
[Bridge]
I really just wanna leave, oh, all this
All this world sh*t ain't easy, oh
Nothing, nothing really please me, oh no
Couldn't really please me, oh, yeah
(ahahaha)
[Verse 2: Ego Mackey & Jasmine Rodgers]
Blood red barrier, I'mma key carrier
Couldn't even care for her, so let me just enjoy my (this) hurt
Don't know if all these drugs work, late nights on the internet, just to lurk
Watching these people live, while I just die in sin
Endless ego trip, life just a trick
I'mma pour up and sip, let the pain just drip
Let my organs just f*cking, [?] (codeine drip)
All the pills, just got the codeine script, yeah
(And you don't seem to—)
[Bridge 2: Ego Mackey & Jasmine Rodgers]
Slow it down a sec, no I couldn't do it
(And you don't seem to—)
Cause what's pain without a bit of pleasure?
(And you don't seem to—)
No, no, I really, really need it
(And you don't seem to—)
No, the mortal world I couldn't deal with
(And you don't seem to—)
[Outro: Ego Mackey]
Oh, all the love, all that fake sh*t
Oh, so much easier with drugs, b*tch (I can't trust in girls)
Trust, trust in love, I shouldn't, f*ck, oh (I can't)
Can't deal with, I don't know, I don't know
(Mr. Chambers!)
