This song is about knowing where you’re going even when you’re going through manic or depressive phases. Even if the road is winding you know you’re still moving toward your goal.
[Verse 1: Alec Beretz]
Looks like another rainy day
Try to stay sober so you’ll stay
Then get fucked up so I feel sane
But I manage, yeah I manage
I don’t get panicked anymore
Just pump the beat and press record
My pain wastes time I can’t afford
But I manage, yeah I manage
My spaceship pullin’ planet-side
She like the drip, said “open wide”
Been seein’ ghosts my face gone white
Talk to the dead, said they alright
I lost my mind, I didn’t need it
If you find a piece then you can keep it
I said that I loved you, didn’t mean it
Hard to believe when I can’t feel it
Can’t feel it, can’t feel it
[Chorus: Alec Beretz]
Looks like another rainy day
Try to stay sober so you’ll stay
Then get fucked up so I feel sane
But I manage, yeah I manage
I don’t get panicked anymore
Just pump the beat and press record
My pain wastes time I can’t afford
But I manage, yeah I manage
[Verse 2: OMB Peezy]
I feel sober when I’m high, and I feel high when I’m sober
The good die young, gotta find somewhere to hide till I’m older
Just press record and I’m gon’ turn to a bomb and explode
I was hurtin’, they barely would notice, them drugs pullin’ me closer
Come walk a mile in my shoes, do you know where I been?
Got caught wit’ a tool, got out and did this shit again
I was tryna stay true, got sucked dry by fake friends
We was born in struggle, can do shit wit’ no money and greed’s a sin
(Lord, lord, lord)
Look like another rainy day
Don't like the sober me, so I try to stay high so you will stay
If you was to leave I couldn’t fathom all that pain
So if you was to leave, I’ma stay high anyway
(It’s Peezy!)
[Chorus: Alec Beretz]
Looks like another rainy day
Try to stay sober so you’ll stay
Then get fucked up so I feel sane
But I manage, yeah I manage
I don’t get panicked anymore
Just pump the beat and press record
My pain wastes time I can’t afford
But I manage, yeah I manage
[Verse 3: Alec Beretz]
Sometimes my love is just my vice
Ain’t gotta drown to see the light
Your eyes wide shut, ain’t need advice
I don’t need you to live my life
And when I go, don’t be surprised
I just don’t care to say goodbye
But on my life, I tell no lies
I see the future every time
