[Intro: Venbee]
Dead in the gutter
Dead in the gutter
Dead in the gutter

[Verse 1: Venbee]
Back when I was fifteen, I got into the wrong crowd
Got myself in trouble just to make a silly man proud
When I was sixteen, I almost died
Swear my mum watched my life flash behind her eyes
When I was seventeen, I relapsed like ten times
And that last one led me on a downward spiral
Eighteen, picking up the drink
Felt kinda nice 'cause I didn't have to think
Nineteen, lockdown hit
Everything around me, it all wеnt to shit
Then I turned twenty, whеn did I turn twenty?
How the fuck am I twenty? Like what?

[Chorus: Venbee]
I should be
Dead in the gutter by now (dead in the gutter)
Should be six feet under
Don't know how I swerved the corner (dead in the gutter, dead in the gutter, dead in the gutter)

[Chorus: Venbee]
I should be
Dead in the gutter by now (dead in the gutter)
Should be six feet under
Don't know how I swerved the corner (dead in the gutter, dead in the gutter, dead in the gutter)
[Bridge: Ren]
De-de-dead in the gutter, dead in the gutter
Dead in the gutter

[Verse 2: Ren]
I was twenty-six, came back to the land of the living
Before that, I was sick in the body, unforgiving
Twenty-seven, so confused, still alive, but in pain
I would smoke, till I'm dumb, till I'm numb in the brain
Twenty-eight, let's get it straight, I put my paper to pen
And applied the pressure to the pages, tell the story of Ren
A story of a fallen angel amongst mortals and men
Tryna carve a place inside a space or stumble again
Twenty-nine, the world has changed, still I am sick
Still overmedicated, stress-related, cuffs on my wrist
Now I'm thirty
When did I turn thirty? How the fuck am I thirty?

[Chorus: Venbee]
I should be
Dead in a gutter by now
Should be six feet under
Don't know how I swerved the corner

[Chorus: Venbee]
I should be
Dead in a gutter by now
Should be six feet under
Don't know how I swerved the corner (dead in a gutter, dead in a gutter, dead in a gutter)
[Verse 3: Venbee]
I'm just such a hypocrite
Don't know how I live with it
Tell my brother not to smoke, I'm the one who hasn't quit
Really, I'm just winging it
Hoping it don't go to shit
Hoping I can find a place where I fit

[Chorus: Venbee]
I should be
Dead in the gutter by now (dead in the gutter)
Should be six feet under
Don't know how I swerved the corner (dead in the gutter, dead in the gutter, dead in the gutter)

[Chorus: Venbee]
I should be
Dead in the gutter by now (dead in the gutter)
Should be six feet under
Don't know how I swerved the corner (dead in the gutter, dead in the gutter, dead in the gutter)

[Outro]
Dead in the gutter
Dead in the gutter
Should be dead in the gutter
Dead in the gutter
Should be six feet under, don't know how I swerved the corner
