Angels - Tom MacDonald

[00:18.196] It's not the liquor I'm addicted to, it's feeling brave
[00:21.001] The feeling of not feeling the pain
[00:23.153] I been on and off the bottle, I put oxys up my nostrils, believe me
[00:25.806] You do anything to breathe before you suffocate
[00:28.127] I couldn't stop it, staying clean was not an option
[00:30.116] I was tryna be myself but being me was such a problem
[00:32.437] I just wanted to be Thomas, but Thomas was at the bottom of a hole he dug
[00:35.167] And getting comfortable inside a coffin, ay
[00:38.234] He locked it and swallowed the key, he caught up, forgot all his dreams
[00:40.322] Robbed outta calm and became embalmed in a toxic routine
[00:43.361] Beer was the escape but I got stuck escaping
[00:45.647] Whiskey was the blanket in the coldest basement
[00:48.236] Way before the fame, I was wasted
[00:49.895] Freezing, doing anything I could to keep the flame lit
[00:52.989] To anyone going through the same sh!t
[00:54.627] Heaven's got enough angels, you need to stay here
[00:57.140]
[00:57.303] And I can't make you stay but sometimes going ain't a choice
[01:01.832] And every choice you make is one that you didn't avoid
[01:05.930]
[01:06.039] Crash the whip and ditch the car, burn a bridge, follow the stars
[01:10.907] You'll find monsters in the dark but nothing's worth it till it's hard
[01:16.385] Sometimes it's hard to see things clear (Through your tears)
[01:21.038] But anywhere is way better than here (Fight your fears)
[01:25.237]
[01:25.511] It's not the liquor I'm addicted to, it's feeling tough
[01:28.170] When you get bullied half your life you feel weak like you just ain't enough
[01:31.230] Then you have a couple drinks and you catch a buzz
[01:33.090] And finally have the courage to defend yourself and throw a punch
[01:35.729] And that adrenaline goes straight into your brain and blood
[01:38.122] Addicted to the confidence, it's practically the greatest drug
[01:40.745] Chasing dragons every night in all the latest clubs
[01:42.766] What used to be your favorite thing somehow became a dangerous crutch
[01:45.648] It was what it was
[01:47.367] And that's the thing, it can happen to like any of us
[01:49.913] I had great parents, tight friends, strong walls, nice threads
[01:52.551] Good school, good looking, good grades, time spent
[01:55.492] Being normal only lasted for a while
[01:57.504] One bad choice sparked a downward spiral
[01:59.594] I've spent half my life tryna climb outta that hole
[02:01.761] Heaven's got angels, we need you at home
[02:04.333]
[02:04.546] And I can't make you stay but sometimes going ain't a choice
[02:09.100] And every choice you make is one that you didn't avoid
[02:13.273]
[02:13.601] Crash the whip and ditch the car, burn a bridge, follow the stars
[02:18.348] You'll find monsters in the dark but nothing's worth it till it's hard
[02:23.599] Sometimes it's hard to see things clear (Through your tears)
[02:28.217] But anywhere is way better than here (Fight your fears)
[02:32.756]
[02:32.803] It ain't the liquor we're addicted to, it's everything else
[02:35.630] The happiness we had but we forget how it felt
[02:38.079] We been drinking with the devil 'cause we're going through hell
[02:40.113] Pray to God for a little bit of help
[02:42.513] Man, I been there, I did those things, I drank those drinks
[02:44.827] I took those pills, I puked in sinks
[02:47.354] And the truth ain't pretty, listen up, it's a tough one
[02:50.263] You get saved by your angels or become one
[02:52.583]
[02:52.909] Crash the whip and ditch the car, burn a bridge, follow the stars
[02:57.953] You'll find monsters in the dark but nothing's worth it till it's hard
[03:03.082] Sometimes it's hard to see things clear (Through your tears)
[03:07.787] But anywhere is way better than here (Fight your fears)
