We All Got Some Things

(album: The Brave - 2022)

[Tom MacDonald:]
I'll admit it, I relapse after I quit it
I found some whiskey that I hid in the kitchen
I tried to throw it out, but I was obviously tripping
Twisted the cap off the bottle, I poured a glass and I sipped it
I lit a cigarette and blew out the smoke
Took a couple Ativans, I shoulda threw out the dope
Last time that I got wasted, didn't do it alone
With the homies back in Canada, I puked in the snow
They always said I'd be a screw-up 'til I proved 'em wrong
Chased my dream for years until I blew up, knew that I was strong
Guess I got too cocky and I screwed up, bruises on my arms
I'll beat myself to death, man, I'm the same old stupid Tom
I tell myself that it was one time only
But the craving claws at me every time I'm lonely
Parents shouldn't bury their children, I keep going
But this road ends somewhere, I just hope that they know me

We all got some things that we're going through
Stop living in the day that it broke you
We all got some things that we're going through
If demons chase the brave, then they chose you

[Adam Calhoun:]
You don't know my life or anything that I'm about
I was left for dead, counted out, so I'm out
Standing in the streets, tears running down my cheeks
I'm starving, need to eat, but I'm chasing down this dream
Used to sleep in a traphouse tryna take the rap route
Stay up all night hearing beef 'til I passed out
Never thought making it would bring this much pain
This is how I feel, please listen to what I'm saying
I really take Xans, I don't do it for fashion
Helps all my panic attacks, overreacting
Hopefully one day I'll be cool like Andre
Until then, I'm sorry, Ms. Jackson
I really take Klonopin, I gotta be honest
I take a lot of it, nodding and I'm out on the ottoman
I really been to the bottom and I go
And make myself at home like I'm already dead, man, I'm out of it

[Tom MacDonald:]
We all got some things that we're going through
Stop living in the day that it broke you
We all got some things that we're going through
If demons chase the brave, then they chose you

I'm on a ship in a bottle
I'm tryna weather this storm
I should be heading for shelter
But I'm afraid of the shore
I'm on a ship in a bottle
I'm tryna ride with the waves
I heard my demons will follow
I've been going through things

We all got some things that we're going through
Stop living in the day that it broke you
We all got some things that we're going through
If demons chase the brave, then they chose you
