Trick or treat

But my life ain't sweet

Every day October 31st to me

I ain't scared of no ghosts, I grew up with worse

Monsters in the kitchen, yelling curses in reverse

Mama crying in the hallway, daddy breaking all the plates

That's a horror movie scene — I ain't even exaggerate

Kids dressin' up like villains, I was sleepin' next to one

Didn't need a mask to fear him, he was wicked just for fun

You hear a creak in your attic, I heard sirens every night

While y'all running from zombies, I was running for my life

Halloween to you is just once a year

But I been fighting demons since I was little, my dear

You scream for fun — I screamed for help

Trick or treat world, but I got tricked myself!

Y'all afraid of the dark — I was raised in it

Candy in your bucket — I had pain in it

Skeletons in your closet? Man, mine had names

Trauma like a pumpkin — carved deep in my brain

Now I walk through haunted houses like "this all you got?"

Childhood was like a thriller, couldn't tell what was plot

So if you see me with a mask, don't assume that I'm playin'

I'm just hiding all my scars — that's the only way I'm stayin'

Halloween to you is just once a year

But I been fighting demons since I was little, my dear

You scream for fun — I screamed for help

Trick or treat world, but I got tricked myself!

Boo-hoo, boo-hoo

Cryin' ain't new

To you it's fake fear

Boo-hoo, boo-hoo

To me it was true

Halloween to you is all costumes and games

But every nightmare I had wore my last name

You scream at shadows — I stared down pain

So don't call me spooky — call me brave

Halloween to you is all costumes and games

But every nightmare I had wore my last name

You scream at shadows — I stared down pain

So don't call me spooky — call me brave

Boo-hoo, boo-hoo

Cryin' ain't new

To you it's fake fear
