[Verse 1: Welsh]
I just came off the hardest week
I lay here tryna sleep
Once I do these issues I dream
Not once twice, skip to the sixth
Im barely pa**ing for the month
Its only the fifth and I'm pacing
Headaches, habits, stress whats left?
Tomorrows the tenth
With my eyes bent
I take a breath
Tiptoeing around the question
As the devil dances lurking
I can't believe I'll never get the lesson
Its the 3rd try, ain't ---
------ we degrade
When we do right its all the same
So as were slippin
How can't you expect -?
These are my problems
Only I got 'em
But Im being controlled & put to the cold
Its like my tounge swolled
It was all looking gold
Till I was there for the call
Now yall speakin about my issues & im the ventriloquist doll
Im asking can I live
Can I live, tell me can I live?
[Hook: Welsh]
Can I live
Tell me Can I live
Just let me be great
On the run
Off the path of life
No turning back
Let me be me
Now can i live
Verse 2
Staring at the closed door
Thinking its the same bout my -
Im on the wrong looking for more
Wanting what I can't have
Reaching what I can grab
Ranting & all Im ready to do is laugh
Getting made fun of & Im joking
Laying in the dark just hoping
The rain could pa** over
I could tackle the tornado in my room
Noises in my head
Saying there's something I need to prove
Im off path & there's nothing left to lose
Only wantin to do what'll help
But maybe if you knew how i felt
Maybe if you saw what I tell
Maybe if you were me you'd see
Maybes the only word to say when you hope ----
No is the only word to say when your close but doubt love
Sometimes its less than reality
Over hyping what Im doing shallows me
Allowing me to understand Ill - be anything in reality
Now Im yelling can I live?
Hook
[Verse 3: Welsh]
The hardest part about life right now is saying everythings okay
I want it to just go my way
But tell me why I should say it if I know its the wrong answer in another mind?
Its hard when I know the real truth
I tell everybody the real truth
Everday I say you know its still true
Some people think its never the truth
But I know if you were in my shoes you'd understand this real truth
Everything is changing but Im not changing with life
That's why Im laying here at night
Praying to my gods that the same is in sight
My prayers were answered before
I can only hope this won't be ignored
- - talks on the tv
Im yelling could you free me
I dont want any free medicine
I wanna be okay now
------
Im setting sins that I wanna fix
I wanna start over
I wanna be a new man
I wanna hold love closer
I can finally understand
