[Intro]
It all started when you

[Verse 1]
Left me for dead, now I've been a wreck
And momma told me daddy ain't gonna be back
And she told me I'm the man now, I guess I'm the man now
Think I need a plan now, uh (Ah)
Must've been nothing but a jit
Buck teeth, cut like a bowl so that you know
Started from the bottom, fighting all the way up up
I never wanna go back down
Update, I felt great for a minute straight
Call my shrink and tell him I made a mistake
If only I could delete all the pain
And upload all the things I wanted to be
Bled from my lip, bit down on it
Feel the pain and a taste so metallic
Soulless, I learned to live without it
But I'ma make it out of this so count on it

[Bridge]
It all started when I
It all started when I
It all started when I
It all started when I

[Verse 2]
Cut the black blood from your tongue like Lavinia
No more lies, no, not a one, I wasn't your favorite son
If only I could forget, if only I could delete
If only, if only I could delete my memory
I still would not upload everything you wanted me to be
No, truly, I'm happy you're deceased
I don't want nothing
I want everything, I want everything, I want everything

[Segue]
You left me for dead, all that died was my innocence

[Outro]
Uh, it all started when you
Left me for dead, now I've been a wreck and
Momma told me daddy won't be coming back
Bled from my lip, bit down on it
Felt the pain and a taste so metallic

Ghostemane

Eric Whitney Ghoste (born April 15, 1991), also known as Ghostemane, is an artist from Lake Worth, Florida. He initially rose to popularity as a member of the now-defunct SCHEMAPOSSE—a group that included Lil Peep and JGRXXN amongst others. In a 2017 interview with No Jumper, Ghostemane said he decided to leave SCHEMAPOSSE as he wanted to grow as an independent artist, and didn’t want to be boxed in a certain group or movement.

In a 2016 interview with Metal Insider, Ghostemane stated that he was majorly influenced by metal bands such as Deicide, Death, Carcass, and Mayhem. He later got into hip hop groups such as Dirty Boyz, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and Three 6 Mafia. He listed bands like Circle Takes the Square and The Number Twelve Looks Like You as additional inspirations in a 2016 statement to Masked Gorilla.

Ghostemane has numerous side projects. These include his lo-fi black metal project Baader Meinhof, and his experimental noise project GASM.
