I Hate The Reaper

(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(I hate the reaper)

I hate the reaper, swear he's always creepin'
Took the ones I love, now I'm just left to grieve them, yeah
I'm sick of cryin' over caskets, tell me will my life ever stop being tragic?
I just want a day where I can breathe
But the people that I love keep getting taken away from me, oh
I hate the reaper, I hate the-

Tell me, is this really all that life is?
End up in the dirt, so what's the point of even climbin'?
Lately I'm not liking all the places that my mind been
Feels like every day I navigate another crisis

I've been putting family in the ground, losin' track of who I am
All the money that I make couldn't stop God's plans
And now I'm stuck on my own
I don't know, I'ma do this alone

Late nights all these thoughts running through my head
Yeah, like one more loss, get me right to the edge
Always thinkin' about the words, yeah, that I should've said
Now I'll never get the chance, til the day I'm dead

So tell me when I'll find you, in the other side (side)
'Cause I don't wanna let go, so I'm saying like

I hate the reaper, swear he's always creepin'
Took the ones I love, now I'm just left to grieve them, yeah
I'm sick of cryin' over caskets, tell me will my life ever stop being tragic?
I just want a day where I can breathe
But the people that I love keep getting taken away from me, oh
I hate the reaper, I hate the-

I don't wanna be around, take me to the other side
Sick of hearin' people tell me, "It gets better, give it time"
It's already been years, why the hell am I not fine?
Takin' everythin' within me to not write up my goodbyes

How long do I gotta take this road?
Bitter and I'm broken, and I'm losing my control
Been down so long, I feel better when I'm low
Trauma and this misery, that's really all I know

So tell me when I'll find you, in the other side (side)
'Cause I don't wanna let go, so I'm saying like

I hate the reaper, swear he's always creepin'
Took the ones I love, now I'm just left to grieve them, yeah
I'm sick of cryin' over caskets, tell me will my life ever stop being tragic?
I just want a day where I can breathe
But the people that I love keep getting taken away from me, oh
I hate the reaper, I hate the-
