Story Behind The Song

This song started with the bass riff you hear in the intro. Drums were then added as well as ambient noises in the background in order to build suspense. Piano, synth, and a guitar solo close out the song with the help of background vocals and strings. This song was made with the intention to be in a movie or movie trailer.

Lyrics

Let me out of here
I don't wanna know how wild you've been
And my heart don't work like it used to
Think that I've been doomed from the start
Girl you better grab my hand before I lose you
Before it tears both of us apart
But before we start...

This ain't what I asked for
Show up late, get fucked up, then disappear through the backdoor
What the hell you do that for?
Think I'm coming off too nice
Tell my mama I'll see her later, I'm saving up for a new life
My shirt's tucked and my boots tied
And my mind's starting to wonder
Not to mention I feel sick from the influence that I'm under
But I'm not a rapper, I'm not a singer, I'm not a waiter, I'm not a bitch
No money with no time, I'm fucked up and I'm tired of this
I ain't talking to no psychiatrist
Don't think about trying this, and don't tell my bros
Make it if I sell my soul
Hold that thought and smell that smoke
23, got hell to go
Tell that hoe that I'm zoning on and dipping low

They shoulda known that I've been uptight, up late, down, why you worried 'bout me?
I heard that devil takes lives and he don't even need no sleep
God dammit I'm sleepwalking again, woke up on my feet
Get a little liquor in me and I might throw with a motherfucker playing with me

Let me out of here
I don't wanna know how wild you've been
And my heart don't work like it used to
Think that I've been doomed from the start
Girl you better grab my hand before I lose you
Before it tears both of us apart
But before we start... Stop

And I know you want my soul
