Shinigami talks about the mistakes he made in life and steps he’s taken to make sure he doesn’t make them again. He used to ignore the consequences of his actions and then they’d catch up to him when he was unprepared.
[Chorus]
I don't wanna take this guy
I fell down, didn't know that I could fly
Uh, had to make a sacrifice
Off a addy, I'm satisfied
I could never be what they want me to be
I could never see what you want me to see
One step forward, two steps back
Had to hustle, I was down on my ass
[Verse 1]
Look up at the sky
I'm a star, so bright
Diamonds dancing in the wind
I glow, I shine
But then I met you
Knew I had to make you mine
You the type you only ever meet
Once in your life
I'm a phoenix
How I die and respawn
You my 'lil bro
Kick rocks, get lost
They will give up anything
Take a bet, lose it all
I'm a reference
Like the painting on the wall
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to learn my lessons
I think I forgot to mention
Just can't pay attention
Looking for a new obsession
[Chorus]
I don't wanna take this guy
I fell down, didn't know that I could fly
Uh, had to make a sacrifice
Off a addy, I'm satisfied
I could never be what they want me to be
I could never see what you want me to see
One step forward, two steps back
Had to hustle, I was down on my ass
[Verse 2]
Ice on me, like the snow
I was on the road
Selling out shows
With the fucking bros
I'm on a mission
Sometimes you get caught up
And move in different positions
I know you feel the distance
Lost myself
Cause I wanted it all
Standing on a castle
Made of cards
Man I hope it don't fall
Before you get to running
Better learn how to crawl
If you looking for a meaning
Lotta writing on the walls
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to learn my lessons
I think I forgot to mention
Just can't pay attention
Looking for a new obsession
[Chorus]
I don't wanna take this guy
I fell down, didn't know that I could fly
Uh, had to make a sacrifice
Off a addy, I'm satisfied
I could never be what they want me to be
I could never see what you want me to see
One step forward, two steps back
Had to hustle, I was down on my ass
[Outro]
One step forward, two steps back
One step forward, two steps back
One step forward, two steps back
One step forward, then two steps back
