[Verse 1]
Praise the lord, my savior, so toxic
Death wish, rocking to the bottom, can't stop it
Got that good shit bagged in my pocket
Send me to sky 'til it burns all the oxygen
You ever watch a friend
Take a walk down an alley, never seen again?
Nose leaking to the chin, itching between the toes
Too late to save you
That's how the story goes
[Chorus]
I can't help myself
Let it in, let it out
I can't help myself
But fuck the easy way out
I can't help myself
Breathe it in, breathe it out
I can't help myself
Man, but fuck the easy way out
[Verse 2]
"He was such a good boy, he never hurt anyone but himself"
Comin' down from the clouds and I'm all out of options
Hundred proof potions lace me up with neurotoxins
ICU, ooh, another fuckin' doctor
Hit me with that script, be my problem solver
Problem causer
Hook, line and sinker
Relapse a little quicker
Burn me up like ether
And for all my people
That love me unconditional
Gotta let me go
That's how the story goes
[Chorus]
I can't help myself
Let it in, let it out
I can't help myself
But fuck the easy way out
I can't help myself
Breathe it in, breathe it out
I can't help myself
Man, but fuck the easy way out
[Post-Chorus]
You crawl out or you don't
This world will swallow you whole
Everybody leaves if you let 'em
Sometimes you gotta let 'em go
[Bridge]
And if you love me, know I tried
You don't have to stand at my graveside
Goodbye
Goodbye
Is this too heavy for you, mom?
You never knew what to say
It's not your fault that I turned out this way
You gotta let me go, that's how the story goes
