Lyrics: Ashton Rich
Music: Ashton Rich
Past-due notice on the counter
Right next to a half gram doubt
Mom still telling folks I’m “figuring life out”
Nah, I’m just good at blacking out
Got a Bible in the drawer somewhere
Next to condoms and unpaid fines
Funny how “sin” feels different
When survival’s on the line
They say “be grateful”
For what? This shift?
This town that eats you slow then calls it “gift”?
Smile for the boss
Say “yes sir,” “please”
Die a little daily
For fifteen-fifty-three
I was a good kid
Now I got bad habits
Bad mouth
Bad luck
Bad credit
If this is living
You can mother****ing have it
I’d rather be loud
Than quietly tragic
Break something
Bleed static
If heaven’s rеal
We'll probably never havе it!!
Saw my old friends having babies
Buying houses, posting keys
Meanwhile I’m duct-taping hope
To a rusted-out dream
Tried therapy once
Dude said “breathe through it”
Cool, I’ll breathe through rent
And this hole in my tooth then
Everybody selling “peace of mind”
Like it’s cheap and comes in pills
Truth is most of us just hustle
Trying not to ****ing feel
They want neat lines
Nice lives
Soft voices
Small crimes
Nah
I was a good kid
Now I got bad habits
Bad mouth
Bad luck
Bad credit
If this is living
You can mouther****ing have it
I’d rather be loud
Than quietly tragic
Break something
Bleed static
If heaven’s real we'll probably never have it!!!
I don’t wanna “make it”
I just wanna breathe
Without somebody telling me
Who I’m supposed to be
If that makes me the villain
Cool, hand me the mask
Better than dying slow
At a desk with a badge
BAD HABITS
BAD HABITS
LOUDER THAN YOUR DAMN STANDARDS
LOUDER THAN YOUR DAMN STANDARDS
I was a good kid
Now I got bad habits
Bad mouth
Bad luck
Bad credit
If this is living
You can mother****ing have it
I’d rather be loud
Than quietly tragic
Break something
Bleed static
If heaven’s real we'll probably never have it!!!
