Jelly Roll What It Takes
[Verse 1]
Ever been rock-bottom
At the bottom of a bottle?
And you're just all by yourself
Like you got a million reasons
To grab a forty and squeeze it
Just to put an end to this hell
[Pre-Chorus]
It only numbs the pain
I'll tell you what it takes
[Chorus]
It takes the soul from your body
Rips your heart out your chest
Makes you feel like you're nothin'
But just a waste of breath
You don't wanna see the sun tomorrow
Don't wanna face another day
Suddenly, your life goes down the drain
Yeah, that's what it takes
[Verse 2]
There's a silver-tongued devil
Tellin' me that I'll never
Make it out the hole that I'm in
I'm runnin' outta options
Once it starts, I can't stop it
It's just a means to an end
[Pre-Chorus]
It only numbs the pain
[Chorus]
It takes the soul from your body
Rips your heart out your chest
Makes you feel like you're nothin'
But just a waste of breath
You don't wanna see the sun tomorrow
Don't wanna face another day
Suddenly, your life goes down the drain
Yeah, that's what it takes
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
It only numbs the pain
I'll tell you what it takes
[Chorus]
It takes the soul out your body
The heart out your chest
Makes you feel like you're nothin'
But just a waste of breath
You don't wanna see the sun tomorrow
Don't wanna face another day
Suddenly, your life goes down the drain
Yeah, that's what it takes
