[Intro]
My life in a nutshell
This is my life in a nutshell
[Chorus]
This is my life in a nutshell
Heaven's so far away, I'm startin' to love Hell
They know me for my talent, my talent
But don't know how my pain feels
These prescriptions that I fi-ill
Never made the pain heal
[Verse 1]
Fuck, uh
Back in the lost and found I go
But I'm more lost than found, I know
I feel so cold in L.A. like I'm sittin' back at home, Chicago
They say living's harder than dyin', I'm willing to gamble that
Find me unresponsive in a hotel room, girl, can you handle that?
Worst case scenario
You still hear my songs on the stereo
You still hear my name on thе radio
So I'll live forever, forеver
[Chorus]
This is my life in a nutshell
Heaven's so far away, I'm startin' to love Hell
They know me for my talent, my talent
But don't know how my pain feels
These prescriptions that I fi-ill
Never made the pain heal
[Verse 2]
Oh-oh-oh
Death melodies I sing
Cardiac arrest notes
I hate to bring the negative vibes in the room
But that's the ugly truth
So much of my life and time the world's consumed
I throw the deuce and grab the noose
Onto the next chapter
None of this matters
I've been feelin' helpless
[Chorus]
This is my life in a nutshell
Heaven's so far away, I'm startin' to love Hell
They know me for my talent, my talent
But don't know how my pain feels
These prescriptions that I fi-ill
Never made the pain heal
[Verse 3]
They kick me while I’m down, they count me out
They put me on the ground, and leave me out to die
I wonder why I try sometimes
I wonder why I try, uh
I wonder why I try sometimes
I wonder why I try, uh
Not the best of times, it’s the worst of times
It's the darkest of days
I don’t see a light, I don’t see a light
But the dark is okay
I use it as my cage, a trap in protection
Ain’t nobody ever showed me affection
I should end it all just to teach them a lesson
Why, why is this my life in a nutshell?
[Chorus]
This is my life in a nutshell
Heaven's so far away, I'm startin' to love Hell
They know me for my talent, my talent
But don't know how my pain feels
These prescriptions that I fi-ill
Never made the pain heal
