Shadows & Demons
Yeah, yeah…
Lost in the shadows, fightin’ my mind
Demons inside, they ain’t lettin’ me shine
They say I’m fine, but they blind to the signs
I been at war with the ghosts in my life…

Yo, I been up in the attic, battlin’ static
I panic, my brain is erratic
It’s tragic, I’m manic, I’m stuck in the traffic
Of thoughts that be burnin’ like acid
They told me relax, I told 'em, "I can't!"
I’m holdin' these raps in the palm of my hands
Explodin' like gas when it meets with a match
And I ain't goin’ back, I’m too deep in the trap!


Oh, I don’t wanna fall, but I can’t escape my past
Demons knockin’ at my door, wonder how long this will last…


Shadows creepin’ through my veins, I don’t feel the same
Lately I been drownin’ deep, I can’t numb the pain
If I die before I wake, bury me in flames
Let my soul just levitate, fly beyond the rain…

I been at war with my monsters, I'm boxing
I'm dodgin', they poppin' up often
Talkin' and talkin’, I silence the nonsense
Like coffins, I'm droppin' ‘em, watch it!
I don’t need no doctor, no therapist
Bury this rage in a verse, I inherit it
Parents were careless, my head is nefarious
Still I keep killin’ this game, it’s hilarious!


(Distorted vocal echoes)
Heart froze, but the world still turns...
Blood drips, but the fire still burns...
No love in a place so cursed...
No love in a place so cursed...

Yeah, these shadows they follow, they hollow my soul
Try to escape, but they never let go

I can’t breathe, I can’t see, let me be free…
I just wanna live my dream, but the dark’s in me
