lyrics

I’m alone
Just like I’ve always been
Why should you care?
Well, you never really did
I was born into this mess
we call existence
This funny feeling
is a reality check
I’m the most capable
I’ve ever been
Of ending this catastrophe
that I’m in
I don’t care how dull
Your needle is
It’ll provide me the rest
I deserve to get
I’m on a collision course
With the end of the line
Cuz the end of this line
And I are intertwined
I’ve kept a steady pace with death
Feeling short of breath
I pull the needle out
Now to enjoy what’s left
I get a glaze over my eyes
I’m trapped in glass
My sweet demise
I found comfort in the end
I always had the feeling
This is how I would go
I’ve spent nineteen years too long
Coming short of gold

And now to welcome death’s warm embrace
The end cares for neither time nor place

Pull through Mando
Get it together now
You’ve got a reason to live
Whether or not you know it now
The light at the end of the tunnel is nearing
But it’s not your time to go yet
Shit, where is the Narcan
You’re not allowed to die just yet!
Keep breathing
Get air into your lungs
Get the needle into your vein
Let the plunger plunge
Let the naloxone enter your bloodstream
Come on Mando, stay with me
Please don’t go just yet
Don’t give up on me

You thought I was gone
But I’m not going out without a fight
Even with death calling out my name
I’m no one’s body count to claim
You can say what you want
But I am here to stay
Until the universe decides
To come take me away
If coming back from the dead doesn’t suffice
Then I’ll resurrect like
I’m Jesus fucking Christ
Arms pointed up to the sky
Yelling to god,
“you’ll never take me alive!”
not as long as I’ve got
this will to survive
it’s the fight that keeps me alive
it’s the fight that makes me thrive
it’s the fight that helps me survive
it’s the fight that makes it worth the fight
and I’m not dying tonight
not when there are battles left to fight
and mountains left to climb
I plan to soar to new heights
You’ll all be looking up to me
In little to no time
Just wait and see
I’m gonna bring it alright?
And when I do
You’re all going to understand
Why some people have to struggle
In order to be them
I’ll beat the odds
Cuz you weren’t counting on an upset
The storm I bring with me
Will make you sick to your stomach
I’m just going to be me
All the way to the end
But with that said,
I’m gonna cause a mother fucking ruckus!
