LYRICS:
Brain rot nightmare three fifty seven
Molotov cocktails rain from the heavens
Panicking I’m messed up
Sweating through my sheets praise God
Then I’m blessed up
Cause every day I grind in the trenches
Every day the same, never ending
Even through the pain in the wreckage, I will make it through

One life
I got one chance
Got one shot, wont get it again
I don’t wanna waste it, wake up fucking brain dead
One life, one chance
Got one shot wont get it again
I don’t want to waste it, wake up fucking brain dead

(Toby Morse)
You only got One Life
You only got one chance
You only got one shot
Don’t waste it

I’m a do my thing just to prove it
You could thow ya shade but im cruisin’
Stay up in your lane before I lose it
I will make it through

One life
I got one chance
Got one shot, wont get it again
I don’t wanna waste it, wake up fucking brain dead
One life, one chance
Got one shot wont get it again
I don’t want to waste it, wake up fucking brain dead

Brain dead brain rot spoon fed
All eyes on truth I’m hell bent
I can’t sit here wasting
My time my life can’t fake this
Brain dead brain rot spoon fed
All eyes on truth I’m hell bent
I’m hell bent

One life
I got one chance
Got one shot, wont get it again
I don’t wanna waste it, wake up fucking brain dead
One life, one chance
Got one shot wont get it again
I don’t want to waste it, wake up fucking brain dead

Wake Up fucking brain dead
