All My Best

All My Best

A Poem by Alek Wolf
"

A song about me trying my best.

"

[Intro] (8 bars)
Percocets, I don’t sleep… no rest
Gave you all my best (all my best, yeahhh)
Nothing more, no less
Money, drugs, and sex
Get the weight off my chest...

[Chorus] (8 bars)
I gave you all my best, now I’m hollow in the chest
Tryna float above the mess, but this pain don't let me rest
Voices in my head, they be talkin' like a threat
Sayin' “run it back,” but I ain't got nothin' left
I been drownin' in regret, with the percs still on my breath
Sent a prayer to the sky, but it bounced back as a test

[Verse 1] (20 bars)
Searchin' for peace in a pill bottle
Drownin' who I was, full throttle
Couple Xans to the face, now I’m floatin' in the gray
Sayin’ I’m okay, but I’m lyin’ every day
Withdrawals feel like death, I ain't sleepin' at all
Feelin' like a ghost with my back to the wall
I lost friends, I lost hope, I lost track of the time
Tryna find a high just to quiet my mind
Voicemails from my mom I ain’t play yet
I was too gone, too numb, too wrecked
Heart cold, I been livin’ in reverse
Told myself it’s better if it don’t hurt
Dark thoughts like “what if I ain't wake?”
Tears on the sink, lean spill on the plate
You ever pray but feel nothin' at all?
Like God press decline when He get the call
I fake smiles so they think I’m okay
But I’m screamin’ on the inside every day
I ain’t tryna hide, but I don’t know how to cope
Feelin’ like I’m drownin’ while I’m reachin’ for hope
Told myself numb is better than hurt
Till the silence got loud, now I’m stuck in this dirt
You can’t fix a soul with a body full of pain
And I been tryna heal in a house full of rain

[Hook]
Percocets, I don’t sleep… no rest
Gave you all my best
Nothing more, no less
Money, drugs, and sex
Gets weight off my chest...

[Verse 2] (10 bars)
I’m trapped in a cycle I can't break free
Every pill’s a weight, but it feels like relief
I tell myself I’m done, but I always go back
Running from the pain, but it’s always on track
Memories haunt me, they never let go
Every time I try to heal, it’s like I’m moving too slow
Wasted days, lost nights, I can't find my way
Still lookin’ for the light but it’s fading away
I keep searchin’ for peace, but it’s just out of reach
Trapped in my mind, feel like I’m outta speech
Told myself I’d change, but I’m stuck in this mess
Drownin' in my thoughts, can’t escape the stress

[Chorus - Repeat] (8 bars)

I gave you all my best, now I’m hollow in the chest
Tryna float above the mess, but this pain don't let me rest
Voices in my head, they be talkin' like a threat
Sayin' “run it back,” but I ain't got nothin' left
I been drownin' in regret, with the percs still on my breath
Sent a prayer to the sky, but it bounced back as a test

[Outro Optional Spoken or 4-bar fade]
(I was just tryna feel somethin'... anything...)
(All my best, and still not enough...)
(If I don't wake up tomorrow... at least I said it…)
(Yeah…)
