DTF (Down to Feel)

This body is buried under my loneliness.

This heart is covered in my own sadness.

This mind is prisoner to my own madness.

A victim of my own devices

consumed by my despair and my vices.

I love that you're a freak like me.

I love that you see the things I see.

You're a ride or die like me.

You're the only thing here that's real.

Everyone else is oil and steel.

You really make me down to feel.

I've been turned into coal frozen in ice.

You take me to hell and paradise.

On Vicodin and oxycodone.

Your eyes burn me with pleasure and sin.

I love that you're a freak like me.

I love that you see the things I see.

You're a ride or die like me.

You're the only thing here that's real.

Everyone else is oil and steel.

You really make me down to feel.

Art imitate life imitates art.

You can’t change the ways of the heart.

I've waited my life for this part.

I’ve never felt anything but I’m ready to start.

I love that you’re a freak like me.

I love that you see the things I see.

You're a ride or die like me.

You're the only thing here that's real.

Everyone else is oil and steel.

You really make me down to feel.

I’ve been waiting for so long,

To feel the lyrics in this song.

I’ve been waiting for so long,

To feel the lyrics in this song.

You make me so down to feel.
