dear lil peep
almost is a sad word
you almost changed the game
you almost changed the world
you almost had true fame
self-medication was all you knew
and you knew that your time was soon
it broke through as your passion grew
cracks in your voice, singing out of tune
a star shopping hellboy, praying to the sky
you were slowly breaking, not even knowing why
popping pills kept you numb
but you never let it make you dumb
lil peep, you were misunderstood
you helped as many as you could
you never in your life glorified drugs
the media portrayed you as a thug
you were caring, you were smart
a tattooed face means nothing
what matters is the heart
and you were always loving
you knew you should've reached out
you knew you had friends all around
they loved you for more than just clout
but they can't help you six feet underground
you are not a lesson to be taught
you are not another druggie
you were a soul that was distraught
not a horror story for junkies
it doesn't feel like you're gone yet
it hasn't settled in
but taking xans was like russian roulette
it was bound to happen
peep, we hope you're somewhere better
we hope you're free of pain
you always were so clever
it's sad you lost the game
