[Verse 1]
I feel like I'm in a cage
Tension I could cut with a blade
But how the fuck you 'posed to escape
When you the one whose stood in your way
When you the one stood in your way and
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I just spend too long alone
The silence is a home away from home
Thought that I could handle this my own
I guess I was wrong, I guess I was wrong
[Chorus]
I feel like I'm seeing ghosts
Hiding away from my thoughts
Drowning out the pain 'til I'm numb
And it doesn't feel real anymore
And I race it
I race it
I race to the bottom
And I race it
I race it
I race to the bottom
[Verse 2]
Put the game face on point it at the crowd
While everything inside come crashing down
So we're like break out the drinks, we're partying
'Til the voices in my head don't say a thing
They just waiting 'til no one's around
[Pre-Chrous]
Maybe I just spend too long alone
The silence is a home away from home
Thought that I could handle this my own
I guess I was wrong, I guess I was wrong
[Chorus]
I feel like I'm seeing ghosts
Hiding away from my thoughts
Drowning out the pain 'til I'm numb
And it doesn't feel real anymore
And I race it
I race it
I race to the bottom
And I race it
I race it
I race to the bottom
[Post-Chorus]
And down and down we go
And down and down we go, yeah
And down and down we go, yeah
Straight to the bottom
And down and down we go
And down and down we go, yeah
And down and down we go, yeah
Straight to the bottom
[Bridge]
Sometimes saving me from my own self
Sometimes feels like drawing blood from stone
I wonder who would hear me ask for help
I wonder who would miss me when I'm gone
[Chorus]
I feel like I'm seeing ghosts
Hiding away from my thoughts
Drowning out the pain 'til I'm numb
And it doesn't feel real anymore
And I race it
I race it
I race to the bottom
And I race it
I race it
I race to the bottom
[Post-Chorus]
And down and down we go
And down and down we go, yeah
And down and down we go, yeah
Straight to the bottom
And down and down we go
And down and down we go, yeah
And down and down we go, yeah
Straight to the bottom
