Dark City Lyrics by Shahn Akhtar

Dark City

0

[Verse]
Nightmares, they cut him up I was right there
See I was tryna spar with depression but it don't fight fair
Death inside my dreams, I'm waking up hearing screams
I'm jumping off of the roof, hoping that someone might care
I done lost enough people to last a lifetime
Getting hard for me to smile when the light shine
Hanging off of a thread, don't cut the lifeline
Don't take me off of them meds, I think I might die quick
I got a city all on my dick
They know I'm going through it they see it all on my fist
They see it all on my music, they see it all on my hip
These bars are hard to handle they telling me get a grip
I hate this place, see the anger tattooed on my face
I’m in a cage, why the fuck you always on my case?
I don’t have the energy for your microaggressions
Never hide my inner thoughts I been hyper expressive
And I always catch stare if I’m being myself
You hate me cause I’m acting like what you see in yourself
Always got your back I’m trying to protect your health
Where were you when I was crying, you ain’t never help
Now I realize that you act like everybody else
And you bear the same resentment everybody felt
Now I notice that you really treat nobody well
I was dying in that alley and nobody helped
Oddly enough my life ain’t even flash before my eyes
At that time I realized, that I was still alive
Even though I still was hollow, living with no drive
Wasn’t ready for what follows on the other side
Couple years, only reconsidered suicide a couple times
Mostly thinking about you and I
I should go, think it’s better I don’t tell you why
I should go, this a place that I don’t recognize
Full of death, feel the pain inside your every breath
Going deeper in the water with my every step
Feel these leeches tryna take me from my moment
But it’s hard to see the haters when you drowning in the ocean
Break the surface, turn the ripple to a tidal wave
I ain’t perfect, I’m just lookin for a brighter day
End the sorrow, I won’t ever need to beg and borrow
Break the chain, bodies die but the soul immortal
