Thematically, this song deals with suicide in a very serious manner.
[Verse 1]
I can't afford to breathe in this time
Nowhere to sit without a gun in my hand
Hooked back up to the cathode ray
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm better off dead, I'm better off dead
I'm better off...
[Chorus]
Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself
[Verse 2]
I wanna breathe, I wanna grow
I'd say I want it but I don't know how
I work, I bleed, I beg and pray
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm better off dead, I'm better off dead
I'm better off...
[Chorus]
Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm better off dead, I'm better off dead
I'm better off...
[Chorus]
Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Why?
Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself
