Tom MacDonald - Angels lyrics

It's not the liquor I'm addicted to
It's feeling brave
The feeling of not feeling the pain
I've been on and off the bottle
I put Oxys up my nostrils, believe me
You do anything to breathe
Before you suffocate i couldn't stop it
Staying clean was not an option
I was tryna be myself
But being me was such a problem
I just wanted to be Thomas
But Thomas was at the bottom of a hole he dug
And getting comfortable inside a coffin, ayy
He locked in and swallowed
The key, caught up, forgot all his dreams
Robbed at a common
Became embalmed in a toxic routinе
Beer was the escape, but I got stuck еscaping
Whiskey was the blanket in
The coldest basement
Way before the fame, I was wasted
Freezing, doing anything I could to
Keep the flame lit
To anyone going through the same shit
Heaven's got enough angels
You need to stay here

And I can't make you stay
But sometimes going ain't a choice
And every choice you make
Is one that you didn't avoid

Crash the whip and ditch the
Car, burn a bridge, follow the stars
You'll find monsters in the dark
But nothing's worth it till it's hard
Sometimes it's hard to see things clear
(through your tears)
But anywhere is way better than here
(fight your fears)

It's not the liquor I'm addicted to
It's feeling tough
When you get bullied half your life
You feel weak like you just ain't enough
Then you have a couple drinks
And you catch a buzz
And finally have the courage to defend
Yourself and throw a punch
And that adrenaline goes straight into
Your brain and blood
Addicted to the confidence is
Practically the greatest drug
Chasing dragons every night in
All the latest clubs
What used to be your favorite thing
Somehow became a dangerous crutch
It was what it was and that's the thing
It could happen to like any of us
I had great parents, tight
Friends, strong morals, nice threads
Good school, good looking, good grades
Time spent
Being normal only lasted for a while
One bad choice sparked a downward spiral
I've spent half my life tryna
Climb outta that hole
Heaven's got angels, we need you at home

And I can't make you stay
But sometimes going ain't a choice
And every choice you make
Is one that you didn't avoid

Crash the whip and ditch the
Car, burn a bridge, follow the stars
You'll find monsters in the dark
But nothing's worth it 'til it's hard
Sometimes it's hard to see things clear
(through your tears)
But anywhere is way better than here
(fight your fears)

It ain't the liquor we're addicted to
It's everything else the happiness we had
But we forget how it felt
We've been drinking with the devil
'cause we're going through hell
Pray to God for a little bit of help
Man, I been there, I did those things
I drank those drinks, I took those pills
I puked in sinks
And the truth ain't pretty, listen up
This a tough one
You get saved by your angels or become one

Crash the whip and ditch the
Car, burn a bridge, follow the stars
You'll find monsters in the dark
But nothing's worth it 'til it's hard
Sometimes it's hard to see things clear
(through your tears)
But anywhere is way better than here
(fight your fears)
