Sober

We got a problem in America Too many people dying, yeah, but we don't really care enough Addiction through the roof, but we're too caught up in hysteria Too busy on our phone to see the problems in our area Man, I don't wanna preach, but everything's been getting scarier It's easy to ignore a problem till they got a barrier Big Pharma's getting rich, they're probably thinking it's hilarious While people out here dying, man, it's feeling so nefarious Been through it all myself, I wouldn't wish that on nobody else Every day was hell, but I was lucky that I found help But most don't get a chance to overcome it and escape And some just ending up inside a grave Some just swallow pain and keep on carrying that burden inside 'em And they don't wanna let their family down, they suffer in silence Until their mental health's declining, but they gotta keep climbing I'm writing this for ones that won't let all their problems define 'em, I see you

So can I get my soul back? I'm sick of being someone I don't wanna be 'cause I been such a letdown I let all my friends down I just want a way outta my darkest days I just wanna know when all of my pain will just be over Till then I just wanna be sober

I need something to get me outta this reality Feels like a dream, no, a nightmare drowning me I look around, I feel like everyone surrounding me, doubting me Anxiety is peaking, heart is pounding, please I need a change in my life from pain and the strife It's draining me out, I could blame my own lies I tell myself that I'm pretty much worthless But that ain't true, just haven't found my purpose I got this, I could come back I'm alive in this world, it ain't so bad I'm not saying that life's not hard You're covered in scars, but still you didn't fall apart, so Don't give up on your dreams I know it may seem like you're splitting at the seams, but If you're the hero in this film Everybody likes a comeback story to tell, ah

So can I get my soul back? I'm sick of being someone I don't wanna be 'cause I been such a letdown I let all my friends down I just want a way outta my darkest days I just wanna know when all of my pain will just be over Till then I just wanna be sober
