"Survivor's Guilt" lyrics

This is survivor's guilt

Seven years I'm eight down in '23
I would have gone with them if it was up to me
A sand empire is what I've built, now I'm stuck here with survivor's guilt

We used to cut lines together
So we'd have a story to tell
It's not like I did any better
Just dodged a bullet from hell

I'm not sleeping
They're all leaving
I'm still bleeding
I'm still screaming

Guilt, guilt, guilt tied around your neck
Covered up so you won't forget
That you wasted the best of your days
It was all just for nothing
Guilt, guilt, guilt, yeah, you're on your own
A rent-free nightmare in your bones
Beautiful people are taken
Open your eyes
We remember our own
Two fingers pressed against my neck
I wish I could just trust my friends
Instead I'm such a wasted space, my God it never ends

It's too damn bad
I can't get enough blood on my hands
I think I made it up, I'm going mad
Another empire that I built
I guess this is survivor's guilt

Guilt, guilt, guilt tied around your neck
Covered up so you won't forget
That you wasted the best of your days
It was all just for nothing
Guilt, guilt, guilt, yeah, you're on your own
A rent-free nightmare in your bones
Beautiful people are taken
Open your eyes
We remember our own

We got it all but we're stuck in the trenches
Crying for help but it's just two feet deep
Losing limbs might be part of the process, what happens next is a choice that ain't cheap
When we all go extinct
Don't remember our names
Cause we closed our eyes
Let life pass us by
We carry the blame
We carry the blame

Guilt, guilt tied around your neck
Was it all just for nothing
Was it all just for nothing
Guilt, guilt tied around your neck
Was it all just for nothing
It was all just for nothing
