Second Chance Charade - Methamphetamine

Born into a nightmare, yeah, it ain't no fuckin' dream
Parents caught in the pipe, chasing that methamphetamine
I was just a kid, tryna make it through the night
But every time I closed my eyes, man, it didn't feel right
Dad locked away, mom lost in the haze
Taught me that love's just a game that betrays
I grew up too quick, no time to be small
Now I'm fighting shadows, tryna stand tall
Drowning in the sea, I'm lost in my pain
Carrying the burdens, tryna break from the chain
Voices in my head, yeah, they're calling my name
So I light up the kush, tryna numb out the shame
Stuck in the past, tryna find a way out
But the darkness keeps pulling, filling me with doubt
Pop a Xan just to sleep, but the dreams ain't right
Haunted by the ghosts that visit every night
Every day's a war, man, I'm searching for peace
But the trauma won't quit, it just keeps on the leash
Got these chains on my soul, man, they're heavy as hell
Tryna climb out the pit, but I stumble and fell
My parents were ghosts, even when they were there
Left me with nothing but the cold, empty air
I'm tryna heal the wounds, but they cut me so deep
All the meth took them away, I'm left alone to weep
Drowning in the sea, I'm lost in my pain
Carrying the burdens, tryna break from the chain
Voices in my head, yeah, they're calling my name
So I light up the kush, tryna numb out the shame
Stuck in the past, tryna find a way out
But the darkness keeps pulling, filling me with doubt
Pop a Xan just to sleep, but the dreams ain't right
Haunted by the ghosts that visit every night
They say time can heal, but I'm running out of breath
Tryna find a way, but I'm tangled in death
So I roll up the pain, take it straight to my chest
Leave the past in the ash, let it finally rest
Drowning in the sea, I'm lost in my pain
Carrying the burdens, tryna break from the chain
Voices in my head, yeah, they're calling my name
So I light up the kush, tryna numb out the shame
Stuck in the past, tryna find a way out
But the darkness keeps pulling, filling me with doubt
Pop a Xan just to sleep, but the dreams ain't right
Haunted by the ghosts that visit every night
They say time can heal, but I'm running out of breath
Tryna find a way, but I'm tangled in death
So I roll up the pain, take it straight to my chest
Leave the past in the ash, let it finally rest
Drowning in the sea, I'm lost in my pain
Carrying the burdens, tryna break from the chain
Voices in my head, yeah, they're calling my name
So I light up the kush, tryna numb out the shame
Stuck in the past, tryna find a way out
But the darkness keeps pulling, filling me with doubt
Pop a Xan just to sleep, but the dreams ain't right
Haunted by the ghosts that visit every night
