Staying Through The Strom

(Verse 1)
Late nights, low lights, mind in a spiral
Demons in my ear sayin’ “you ain’t vital”
Cold wind blowin’, heart feel tidal
Drownin’ in the noise, every breath feel final
Mirror on the wall but I don’t see me
Just a shadow boxed in, feelin’ Houdini
Tryna break chains that I can’t see clearly
Whispers turn loud when the room get eerie
But I held on tight to a thread so thin
Even when the dark tried to pull me in
Feet on the edge, but I chose to bend
Not break — told myself “this ain’t the end”
(Hook)
Slow ride, deep tide, tears I confided
Faced the evil minded, I subsided
Clouds part ways, sun decided
I’m still here, yeah, I survived it
Low fi beats and my soul revived it
Pain don’t stay, it just gets guided
From the abyss where the fear resided
I fought back — and I subsided
(Verse 2)
Heavy was the crown of a silent king
Smiles on the outside don’t mean a thing
Carried that weight like a ball and chain
Dancin’ in the dark with invisible pain
But I found light in the smallest sparks
Old songs playin’, long late walks
One real friend who would just sit and talk
Remind me even night has a clock
Tick tock — and the sun still rise
Storms pass by, even in disguise
I ain’t my lows, I ain’t my cries
I’m every time that I chose to rise
(Hook)
Slow ride, deep tide, tears I confided
Faced the evil minded, I subsided
Clouds part ways, sun decided
I’m still here, yeah, I survived it
Low fi beats and my soul revived it
Pain don’t stay, it just gets guided
From the abyss where the fear resided
I fought back — and I subsided
(Bridge)
If you stand where I once stood
Heart misunderstood
Know this pain ain’t permanent
Even when it feels like it should
Breathe in slow, let it pass
Storms don’t forever last
You more than the weight you carry
This too shall fade to the past
(Outro)
Soft drums knock, vinyl crackle hummin’
New dawn light, hear the future comin’
I ain’t who I was when the dark kept runnin’
Stayed through the storm — now the sky stay sunnin’
