Fantasize, a better life
Simplified, a paradise
Nothing could keep me safe
Every love would leave me
(No shame) 'cause I played this game
And it gave me everything
(I'm saved) 'cause I saved myself
And I don't need anything
So for one last time
This is for my friends
Who put needles in their veins
Who society erased
(Hope) their children all escape
This is to the men
Who wish death upon my name
Tried to push me to my grave
Swore I'd never fuck again
Sacrifice, sleepless nights
Wasting time, a wicked fight
Climbing left me heartless
It didn't leave me scar-less
(No shame) 'cause I played this game
And it gave me everything
(I'm saved) 'cause I saved myself
And I don't need anything
('Til my heart stops)
('Til my heart stops beating)
This is for my friends
Who put needles in their veins
Who society erased
(Hope) their children all escape
This is to the men
Who wish death upon my name
Tried to push me to my grave
Swore I'd never fuck again
I have spent my life, chasing things
That have only brought me pain
In the end, when I'm dead
Hope it was for something
Hope it was all for something
Hope it was for something
This is for the ones
Who put poison in their veins
Who society degrades
Hope their children can escape
This is to the men
Who wish death upon my name
Tried to push me to my grave
Swore I'd never fuck again
Simplified, a paradise
Nothing could keep me safe
Every love would leave me
(No shame) 'cause I played this game
And it gave me everything
(I'm saved) 'cause I saved myself
And I don't need anything
So for one last time
This is for my friends
Who put needles in their veins
Who society erased
(Hope) their children all escape
This is to the men
Who wish death upon my name
Tried to push me to my grave
Swore I'd never fuck again
Sacrifice, sleepless nights
Wasting time, a wicked fight
Climbing left me heartless
It didn't leave me scar-less
(No shame) 'cause I played this game
And it gave me everything
(I'm saved) 'cause I saved myself
And I don't need anything
('Til my heart stops)
('Til my heart stops beating)
This is for my friends
Who put needles in their veins
Who society erased
(Hope) their children all escape
This is to the men
Who wish death upon my name
Tried to push me to my grave
Swore I'd never fuck again
I have spent my life, chasing things
That have only brought me pain
In the end, when I'm dead
Hope it was for something
Hope it was all for something
Hope it was for something
This is for the ones
Who put poison in their veins
Who society degrades
Hope their children can escape
This is to the men
Who wish death upon my name
Tried to push me to my grave
Swore I'd never fuck again
