"Battles" lyrics

There's battles in your head that you're silently losing
Yeah, I know how you feel
Taking a beating and seeing the bruises
Yeah, I know the struggle's real
Drowning in the bills and the pills and the alcohol
Tryna catch your breath, try to shake it off
Shake it off

The only way outta rock bottom is up
You gotta be tough, fighting for your life, yeah, the shit gets rough
Floating through the day, faded away
The pain that you feel is just ash in the tray
It sucks and I know it, it's hard to stay focused
When your whole world is tumbling down
But I hope you win the battles you don't talk about
You don't talk about

You don't want to talk, and I get that
Don't get it mixed up, perhaps
Like AC, you need to vent
About the shit going on, how you can't pay your rent
How you drink too much, so you cheated on her
How the drugs messed you up, now life is a blur
Still hold a grudge cuz your dad is a bitch
How the way you grew up gave you narcissistic traits
Can't look at Mama in the face
So many things stacked up on your plate
How it's hard for you to give grace
How you're sick of this damn rat race
Me too, I walk a mile in different shoes
I got a hint, hunch, and a clue
You're like me and I'm like you
Like you

The only way outta rock bottom is up
You gotta be tough, fighting for your life, yeah, the shit gets rough
Floating through the day, faded away
The pain that you feel is just ash in the tray
It sucks and I know it, it's hard to stay focused
When your whole world is tumbling down
But I hope you win the battles you don't talk about
You don't talk about
You don't talk about

The only way outta rock bottom is up
You gotta be tough, fighting for your life, yeah, the shit gets rough
Floating through the day, faded away
The pain that you feel is just ash in the tray
It sucks and I know it, it's hard to stay focused
When your whole world is tumbling down
But I hope you win the battles you don't talk about
You don't talk about
That you don't talk about
