I Won’t Let It Devour Me Lyrics by Shmakity

NIGHTS IN MY ROOM

2022

My intuition is a curse that burdens my mind
I see the outliers when I read between the lines
In the end I saw the end before it came
I keep my quiet cuz they doubt me, I’m not hurt, just not the same
They think it’s lame I tamed the beast inside my veins, to be a subtlety
I aim to drain the haste beneath
But lately I’m a hater of the world that stays surrounding me
Drowning me in the powerless feelings that persistently devour me
But I never my keep my head down
All the things that I lost always come around
If I never see them again I’ll survive
If I don’t, let me die
I’m never living scared I’m aware of the evils surrounding me
Will strong enough to keep me humble when towering
Lost, hurt, confused, high, disturbed in a ruse
I reflect all the pain and make a canvas from my blues, till I know what to do
I’ll survive
I’ll survive
I’ll survive, I’ll survive, I’ll survive
I’ll survive, I’ll survive, I’ll survive
My intuition is a blessing that I overlook
I learn lessons from the mistakes I mistook
I always knew there was a reason that I looked
Up to people who never did things by the book
My muse is the night time
I stay awake writing out all my thoughts till I feel like
I come to a conclusion using everything I learned to rise up through the hurt
Now I finally know my worth
And I really only say it for y’all
These nights in my room had me talking to walls
I never really rose, the whole reason I’d fall
Was I was hungry for a power that was keeping me small
And it would hurt so bad, every time that I’d crash
Had to crack, break the curse and come back with a plan
Soon enough I’d go ahead, step forward open hearted
Grab the source of my sorrows, put the power in my hands, now I think I understand, yuh
I’ll survive
I’ll survive
I’ll survive, I’ll survive, I’ll survive
I’ll survive, I’ll survive, I’ll survive
No matter where I go, I’ll make it out and I’ll survive
I’ll be a light in the dark, I’ll always find a way to shine
I’ve never been afraid to take the road less traveled
While I’m walking through the gravel In the middle of the night—I stride
And I can’t wait
Can’t fold, I remain at the end of the day
When the storm comes down, and the sun goes away
All the stars will shine down, and illuminate the way
So the path in my mind is solidified
Even through the trials that I’ve faced they all know I tried
I tied up all my loose ends, and worked to improve them
And I did better for myself
So I know that I can do anything that I want
I escaped the box, and picked all of the locks
I got big dreams that you can’t shoot down from the ground
I’m just glad you’re looking up, yuh
I’ll survive
I’ll survive
I’ll survive, I’ll survive, I’ll survive
I’ll survive, I’ll survive, I’ll survive
