[Verse 1]: Alex-Ander Now how many can say that they’re literally mentally ill Years gone by, but in the penalty still Trying to escape the pain, escape the hate Always by myself trying to erase the fate Yeah I know my life’s like comedy central ‘Cause you all love seeing people when they’re mental Possessed by the devil, left with paper and a pencil Just to bitch about how I’m on another level People wonder why I’m always so fucking lost It’s because most of my life I’ve been stuck in thoughts Zoned out, thinking about every poor decision Like all those narrow fucking doors I’m missing To open, and go through, maybe see a better life Shit like this crowds my brain through every night That’s not even the half of it why I have insomnia There’s always tomorrow, but I can never promise ya [Chorus/Hook]: Alex-Ander 1 cut, 2 cut, 3 cut, 4 Living life is just another daily chore Nothing is left in this ripped open heart So I always gotta deal with these fucking thoughts and open scars [Verse 2]: Switch They tell me I’m unstable, won’t let me near a rope Fuck that I got this cable, or a gun on this scope But I still have purple, it helps me stay stable A big fuck you to April, far from a angel A slut go get some anal, slut, yeah that’s your label I say this ‘cause I’m able, my words are that fatal They tell me I’m unstable, won’t let me near a rope Fuck that I got this cable, or a gun on this scope I’m a fucking lose cannon, weird and fucking random And I’m causing mad damage, aggressive a phantom I feel like I fail everyone So fuck it I think I’m that done I’m a failure I had my run Pop until everything is numb I’m missing where I come from And now I hate who I’ve become [Verse 3]: Alex-Ander There is nothing funny about being in the hospital Days pass through, shocked because I haven’t lost it all Brothers and sister coming in for a timed visitation Confused out of their skulls in this situation Drugged up on medication that people never heard of Surrounded by people who have attempted murder Still to this day I can see my siblings and hear them cry Just thinking about all that shit gets me teary eyed Sick off my past that’s gripped on, and being pissed off Sick of writing shitty lyrics like the ones in this song Life’s been broken into a million little fragments I don’t even understand why all this bullshit happens But here I am trying to make my life into a prodigy Take out all the nasty thoughts, or at least possibly Fuck it, hustle through and speed past all the traffic And forget about my past and my bad habits [Chorus/Hook]: Alex-Ander 1 cut, 2 cut, 3 cut, 4 Living life is just another daily chore Nothing is left in this ripped open heart So I always gotta deal with these fucking thoughts and open scars

[Verse 1]: Alex-Ander I try to close my eyes after I dim the lights Life passes through, seeing things from different heights A messed up past makes for a messed up mentality It’s challenging, every life obstacle that battles me I remember each one, and it gives my constant headaches And when you look at me next, you’ll know why I have dead face I know, trust me, I need to see a psych. doctor, quick ‘Cause the insomnia’s back and there’s no stoppin’ it I never used to be the stupid fuck I am I developed this way from the people who didn’t understand Downing these pills, like I’m dying to overdose Bitter taste and the headrush brings Satan closer, though It doesn’t matter, I’ve been possessed since the age of eight Been thinking of ways to die, violently, day-to-day And people are giving me mixed signals, they say to pray Been there, fucked that up, now I’m waiting to fade away [Chorus/Hook]: Alex-Ander As soon I get that gun, I’ll lay my hand on the trigger Let one go off so it’ll stop everyone’s pain quicker No one by my side, I’m just a faded loner Killing to die, gotta wait until the headache is over (x2) [Verse 2]: Alex-Ander Remember me? I'm the one that ruins lives I go out of my way just to make up stupid lies If tears didn’t dry out, man, I’d be drowning Dying slowly, while every cell in my brain is pounding With these fucking thoughts which are always a disturbance And when a person walks by that I hate, it worsens Thinking of ways to kill them violently I know, I’m fucked up, this is why I speak my mind silently Life’s a highway, I guess I’m stuck in a traffic jam Years and years go by, and I still can’t pass it, man It sucks, I hate it, and I’m starting to lose patience And if tears burned, I’d be left faceless I cry way too much for a growing young adult For many reasons and most of them aren’t all my fault Too many years wasted, I’m done, I’ll make it official Set me off, I’ll kill you too with that pistol [Chorus/Hook]: Alex-Ander As soon I get that gun, I’ll lay my hand on the trigger Let one go off so it’ll stop everyone’s pain quicker No one by my side, I’m just a faded loner Killing to die, gotta wait until the headache is over (x2)

[Verse 1] 100 days, the number that replays Last time I looked at you and saw that pretty Were there more good or bad times, yeah, I don’t know But the good times in my head honestly won’t go 1000 miles away, that’s what it feels like And every since I moved away, it just doesn’t feel right But I gotta deal with real life, no turning away Sorry for this song, but my heart is hurting today 100 days since I felt your hands on mine And it’s killing me inside that you’re numb and blind To the fact that I care so much that you’re in every nightmare And I know you’re not but I wish that you could be right here [Chorus/Hook]: 3 Doors Down Sample A hundred days have made me older Since the last time that I saw your pretty face A thousand lies have made me colder And I don't think I can look at this the same But all the miles that separate Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face I'm here without you, baby But you're still on my lonely mind I think about you, baby And I dream about you all the time I'm here without you, baby But you're still with me in my dreams And tonight it's only you and me [Verse 2] If only you could see how much I’m broken inside And many tears falls when I hopelessly cry Then maybe you show a little bit more sympathy Maybe care about how 100 days will be century Without seeing each other, not that you even care But I wish that you were here or even I were there You say you’ve changed a lot, well, I have too But that doesn’t mean I’ve changed the way I look at you So I don’t know what’s up with your personality Just stuck here, hoping that this isn’t reality But it had to be me getting thrown off the galaxy In your eyes at least, and to me that’s all that matters, see All I wanna know is what you even look like Even go back to our stupid little Facebook fights Forget it, it won’t happen, I gotta move on And forget about rapping about who’s wrong [Chorus/Hook]: 3 Doors Down Sample A hundred days have made me older Since the last time that I saw your pretty face A thousand lies have made me colder And I don't think I can look at this the same But all the miles that separate Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face I'm here without you, baby But you're still on my lonely mind I think about you, baby And I dream about you all the time I'm here without you, baby But you're still with me in my dreams And tonight it's only you and me
