Heading to the welfare office to collect another check,
the cost of surviving keeps compounding—I can’t outrun the debt.
I’ve been staring in the distance, trying to recollect whoever’s left,
because I’m drowning in the struggles I’m facing and I can’t catch a breath.
Waking up exhausted from whatever I have going on daily,
every bill’s a reminder that I’m barely standing stable.
The rent’s due, my phone’s off and the fridge is running empty,
I’m trading peace of mind just to keep food on my ******* table.
Yeah I ****** it up for myself, made the calls that got me stuck,
can't blame the world for choices when I pushed my own luck.
But the system's got me circling now, can't climb out of this rut,
and tomorrow looks the same as today—another day I'm ******
