Decay Lyrics by Akenya

2018

[Verse 1]
You keep my feet high above my head
And my spine is tucked between my knees
I thought I would only know decay when I was dead;
You make wilting something of ease
[Pre-Chorus]
I never wanted to be twisted up like this
I think my body might get sick enough and quit
I never wanted to be twisted up amidst all the prey that you claim for the taking
[Chorus]
You wanna defeat me
You’re trying to play me
(Got me) acting like I’m crazy
But frankly
I don’t want to be around this
I don’t want to stand for your bullshit
My energy isn’t feeling you, you’re not healing me you just
Wanna defeat me
You’re trying to play me
(Got me) acting like I’m crazy
Frankly
I don’t want to be around this
I don’t want to stand for you
My enemy, I keep fighting but you keep killing me, you just
[Verse 2]
Turn my insides outside one by one
Dim the bright side of my attitude
Shatter any matter of the woman I’d become
Take my breaking bones as gratitude
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I never thought I would be twisted up like this
But I know my spirit hasn’t given up so I persist
And resist the urge to sit and reminisce
Of the days when you lay unawakened
[Chorus]
You wanna defeat me
You’re trying to play me
(Got me) acting like I’m crazy
But frankly
I don’t want to be around this
I don’t want to stand for your bullshit
My energy isn’t feeling you, you’re not healing me you just
Wanna defeat me
You’re trying to play me
(Got me) acting like I’m crazy
Frankly
I don’t want to be around this
I don’t want to stand for you
My enemy, I keep fighting but you keep killing me, you just
[Bridge]
You want to see my spirit dissipate
You want my body to disintegrate
But I refuse to just wither away
I won't succumb to this decay
[Outro](w/ Chorus and Both Pre-Choruses Simultaneously)
You want to make
Me decay, but I won't, I won't
And you want to break
Down my faith, but you won't, you won’t!
(Final line of last chorus): My enemy, I'll keep fighting 'til you stop killing me
