[Intro]
Sixteen lines
Of blow and I'm fine
You're wastin' your time
Please don't cry
[Chorus]
Sixteen lines of blow and I'm fine
Break my bones, but act as my spine
I wonder who you'll fuck when I die
And if I tried to call, would you cry?
Please don't cry, you're wastin' your time
Sixteen lines to make me feel fine
Ten years ago, I went blind
I been on my own since age nine
Sixteen lines of blow and I'm fine
Break my bones, but act as my spine
I wonder who you'll fuck when I die
And if I tried to call, would you cry?
Please don't cry, you're wastin' your time
Sixteen lines to make me feel fine
Ten years ago, I went blind
I been on my own since age nine
[Verse]
I been on my own for two nights
I been in my zone, I've been high
Now she wonder why do I lie
I can't tell my wrongs from my rights
[Bridge]
Is anybody out there? (Is anybody out there?)
Can anybody hear me? (Can anybody hear me?)
I hate it when you fake care (Hate it when you fake care)
Girl, I know you hear me (Girl, I know you hear me)
Is anybody out there? (Is anybody out there?)
Can anybody hear me? (Can anybody hear me?)
I hate it when you fake care (Fake care)
Girl, I know you hear me
[Chorus]
Sixteen lines of blow and I'm fine
Break my bones, but act as my spine
I wonder who you'll fuck when I die
And if I tried to call, would you cry?
Please don't cry, you're wastin' your time
Sixteen lines to make me feel fine
Ten years ago, I went blind
I been on my own since age nine
[Outro]
Is anybody out there? (Is anybody out there?)
Can anybody hear me? (Can anybody hear me?)
I hate it when you fake care (Fake care)
Girl, I know you hear me (Hear me)

Although unconfirmed, it’s been speculated that the guitar sample is a rough interpolation of the guitar intro from Metallica’s 1988 song “One”. This has been suggested in such publications as Pitchfork’s album review:
[…] the guitar lines offer a million minor rewrites on the four-note opener to M...
In an interview for Alternative Press magazine, Smokeasac breaks down the meaning behind the lyrics.
Honestly, it’s hard for me to hear that song, even after two years of listening to it, even in the listening session I had to stop. It’s actually really sad that the song is finally done, and I wish...
