(Verse 1)
Staring at the ceiling, every night’s a damn war,
Heart full of rage, feelin' like I’m at the core,
Everybody talkin’ shit, but they ain't got a clue,
I’m just a thug in the shadows, livin’ life askew.
Got the weight on my shoulders, feel like Atlas on the grind,
Every brick I stack, just a reminder, I’m blind.
Ballin’ in the chaos, yeah, I'm flexin’ on these streets,
But this pain clings tight, like my soul it defeats.
(Pre-Chorus)
Every hit, every drip, every high, another lie,
Feelin’ like a puppet, and I’m cuttin’ all the ties.
Wanna break free, but these chains are like gold,
The fear in my bones, it’s a story untold.
(Chorus)
(Lead) Tired of waking up, with the demons in my head
(Background) Oh, the demons in my head, they fill me with dread
(Lead) Just begging for a fix, to ease the pain I dread
(Background) A fix to ease the pain, but I'm feeling misled
(Lead) Tired of the empty shell, the life I've come to know
(Background) Oh, the life I've come to know, it’s dragging me low
(Lead) Tired of being lost, in this endless, downward flow
(Background) Lost in this endless downward flow,
(Verse 2)
Yo, my vision’s blurred, everything’s a freak show,
Got a crew of lost souls, all caught in the low.
Counting every scar like a badge of my strife,
In this war for my spirit, I’m just hustlin' for life.
Hash smoke clouds, drifting dreams gettin' hazy,
Brought up in the gutter, now my heart feels crazy.
I’m spitting fire, but the ash burns my throat,
Each lyric a lifeline, it’s my only damn hope.
(Pre-Chorus)
In this city of thieves, where the streets steal your dreams,
I’m just trying to survive, but it rips at the seams.
Chasin’ after shadows, runnin’ from the regret,
But these demons keep whisperin’, “You ain’t done yet.”
(Chorus)
(Lead) Tired of waking up, with the demons in my head
(Background) Oh, the demons in my head, they fill me with dread
(Lead) Just begging for a fix, to ease the pain I dread
(Background) A fix to ease the pain, but I'm feeling misled
(Lead) Tired of the empty shell, the life I've come to know
(Background) Oh, the life I've come to know, it’s dragging me low
(Lead) Tired of being lost, in this endless, downward flow
(Background) Lost in this endless downward flow,
(Verse 3)
Staring at the ceiling, every night’s a damn fight,
Heart full of fury, feels like I’m losing sight.
People throw their stones, but they don’t understand,
Just a ghost in the shadows, with a broken plan.
Weight on my back, feel like I'm lost in the grind,
Every brick I stack, just a reminder I’m blind.
Riding through chaos, flexing on these streets,
But this pain sticks hard, like the ground beneath my feet.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every hit, every drip, every high, another lie,
Feelin’ like a puppet, and I’m cutting every tie.
Wanna break free, but these chains they won’t fold,
The fear in my veins, it’s a tale untold.
(Chorus)
(Lead) Tired of waking up, with the demons in my head
(Background) Oh, the demons in my head, they fill me with dread
(Lead) Just begging for a fix, to ease the pain I dread
(Background) A fix to ease the pain, but I'm feeling misled
(Lead) Tired of the empty shell, the life I've come to know
(Background) Oh, the life I've come to know, it’s dragging me low
(Lead) Tired of being lost, in this endless, downward flow
(Background) Lost in this endless downward flow,
