  • Yeah

    I wake up every morning with my head up in a daze
    I'm not sure if I should say this, fuck, I'll say it anyway
    Everybody tries to tell me that I'm going through a phase
    I don't know if it's a phase, I just wanna feel okay, yeah
    I battle with depression, but the question still remains
    Is this post-traumatic stressin' or am I suppressing rage?
    And my doctor tries to tell me that I'm going through a phase
    Yeah, it's not a fucking phase, I just wanna feel okay, okay
    Yeah, I struggle with this bullshit everyday
    And it's probably 'cause my demons simultaneously rage
    It obliterates me, disintegrates me, annihilates me

    'Cause I'm about to break down, I'm searching for a way out
    I'm a liar, I'm a cheater, I'm a non-believer
    I'm a popular, popular monster
    I break down, falling into love now with falling apart
    I'm a popular, popular monster

    I think I'm going nowhere like a rat trapped in a maze
    Every wall that I knock down is just a wall that I replace
    I'm in a race against myself I try to keep a steady pace
    How the fuck will I escape if I never close my case?
    Oh my God, I keep on stressin', every second that I waste
    Is another second sooner to a blessing I won't take
    But my therapist will tell me that I'm going through a stage
    Yeah, it's not a fucking stage, I just wanna feel okay
    Okay, motherfucker, now you got my attention
    I need to change a couple things 'cause something is missin'
    And what if I were to lie, tell you everything is fine?
    Every single fucking day I get closer to the grave
    I am terrified, I fell asleep at the wheel again
    Crashed my car just to feel again
    It obliterates me, disintegrates me, annihilates me

    'Cause I'm about to break down, I'm searching for a way out
    I'm a liar, I'm a cheater, I'm a non-believer
    I'm a popular, popular monster
    I break down, falling into love now with falling apart
    I'm a popular, popular fucking monster

    Yeah
    Yeah, here we go again, motherfucker, oh

    We're sick and tired of wondering
    Praying to a God that you don't believe
    We're searching for the truth in the lost and found
    So the question I ask is, oh, where the fuck is your god now?

    'Cause I'm about to break down, I'm searching for a way out
    I'm a liar, I'm a cheater, I'm a non-believer
    I'm a popular, popular monster
    I break down, falling into love now with falling apart
    I'm a popular, popular monster

    I'm a liar, I'm a cheater, I'm a non-believer
    I'm a popular, popular monster Writer/s: Cody Quistad, Ronnie Radke, Tyler Smyth
