Verse 1
not just a phase,
my shoes are melted in place
Em
I can't escape,
sick of you trying to relate
Dm
This is how I feel, this shit is real,
nothing you can do or say
C
Life is a maze, the walls seem to change,
but every day stays the same
Am
It's not just a phase, my shoes are melted and plain,
Em
so I can't escape
Sick of you trying till the late, this is how I feel,
Dm
this shit is real, nothing you can do or say
C
Life is a maze, the walls seem to change,
but every day stays the same
Am
Troubled since his youth,
his mother on drugs
Em
While at school she would pawn
his stuff
His brother the smarter of the two,
Dm
so he'd hate his guts
C
Life got harder so he would fill his lungs
With a little bit of the green stuff,
a gateway drug
Am
A downward spiral
and a slippery slope
Em
Way before fentanyl laced the coke
So he lived long enough
Dm
to see where the ladder goes
Shook hands with the devil
C
when heroin entered the fold
His dealer a woman, 52 years old
Am
23 trading sex to tie off the hose
Em
With age in his veins,
he found a love he'd never known
Dm
A hole left by a childhood
in a broken home
C
The room's spinning an
d the vision gets blurred
Smile on his face,
Am
temporarily forgets the hurt
Face turns to shock and
he gets concerned
Em
The breathing slows down as
his knees hit the ground
Dm
Vomit stains his shirt,
strained eyes at a bright light
C
Rewinds his life back to his birth
Am
It's not just a phase,
my shoes are melted in place
Em
I can't escape,
sick of you trying to relate
Dm
This is how I feel, this shit is real
C
Nothing you can do or say, life is a maze
The walls seem to change,
but everyday stays the same
Am
It's not just a phase,
my shoes are melted in place
Em
I can't escape, sick of you trying to relate
Dm
This is how I feel, this shit is real
C
Nothing you can do or say, life is a maze
The walls seem to change,
but everyday stays the same
Am
Commercial break, boom,
at heaven's gates
And
Em
Lonnie sees it split two ways
When the floor opens up and
Dm
he falls from grace
C
A transparent individual at his own wake
The turnout's bigger than
he'd ever think
Am
Pictures of his life that he'd
thrown away
Em
Blasted on the wall,
shown in a way that loved ones saw
Tears roll down his face
Dm
Overwhelmed by love
and consumed by shame
C
Stares at his hands,
calculating his mistakes
Am
He begins to yell and wade,
trying to communicate
Em
But the room stretches out and fades away
It gets hot and he starts to sweat
Dm
Fissures open up with smoke, blood red
C
Chanting in the distance,
shackles appear on his legs
Am
Footsteps get louder till the
devil hits the bend
Em
When he wakes up on the floor
next to his motel bed
Dm
Holy shit it was all a dream,
at least it must have been
C
He wipes the sweat off his forehead and
reaches for that needle once again
Am
It's not just a phase,
my shoes are melted in place
Em
I can't escape,
sick of you trying to relate
Dm
This is how I feel, this shit is real,
nothing you can do or say
C
Life is a maze, the walls seem to change
but every day stays the same
Am
It's not just a phase,
my shoes are melted in place
Em
I can't escape, sick of you trying to relate
Dm
This is how I feel, this shit is real,
nothing you can do or say
C
Life is a maze, the walls seem to change,
but every day stays the same
Am
I got the call in the
morning that he didn't make it
Em
I was up all night drinking,
working on music
Dm
Indulging in my vices, which is kind of ironic
C
He got me into writing and it was
there when I lost him
Am
I've always used it to map out my problems
It works for me, I wish he never stopped it
Em
Said he was my biggest fan
and that he was watching
Dm
What I didn't understand
was he was in the cockpit
C
When I ran songs by
him before I would drop them
Am
I was selfish, never visited him
when he was locked in a cell
Em
Now his ashes sit in my grandma's
kitchen on the third shelf
When I visit,
Dm
I miss him and it hurts like hell
C
Wish it was different and that I had helped
I know I couldn't save him but
Am
sometimes hate myself
In my own world,
Em
I ignored his mental health
Let my phone ring until the sound fell
Dm
But cried like a baby
when he died in that motel
C
So much potential, as cliche as it sounds
This one's for him,
Am
I hope you're at peace
It's not just a phase,
my shoes are melted in place
Em
I can't escape,
sick of you trying to relate
Dm
This is how I feel, this shit is real
C
Nothing you can do or say, life is a maze
The walls seem to change but
every day stays the same
Am
It's not just a phase,
my shoes are melted in place
Em
I can't escape, sick of you trying to relate,
Dm
this is how I feel, this shit is real, nothing
C
you can do or say, life is a maze, the walls seem to change,
Am
Em
