The Man Draped in Darkness Lyrics

يجب أن تذهب تلك اللوحة

يجب أن تذهب تلك اللوحة

يجب أن تذهب تلك اللوحة

The shadows dance around

Shapes twist and turn

The light casted thru this window seem muted and grey

I use my nights to write these words and then sleep thru the day

But I despise my dreams because they hurt my soul

Nightmarish visions of my pain begin to unravel

The barren streets in early mornings are barely traveled

I watch from the window as mortals come and go

They stand on corners, feigning strength to prey upon the meek

Niggas slangin' yola

Bitches servin' cock

The boulevard is so alluring during the dead hour, it's smooth

Every color monochromatic kuz black is the finest hue

Turn my gaze from the window and there, I see you

I'm left alone wit this darkness erodin'

Eatin' at my fuckin my innards, watch my flesh degenerate

Queen sleep in the other room, I envision her pretty face

It snap me back when I'm draped in the darkness I fuckin hate

Can't sit still, my mind acceleratin' expeditiously

On a expedition deep inside a fractured psyche

Investigating all the writings on the wall

Hieroglyphics so cryptic, translating to harm

Or a disturbance unnerving suicide note scribbled in cursive

Just play the game lil nigga sleep will creep up, it's certain

Ignore the demon in the corner with his hand on the chair

Controller trembles in my hands as his idle in mine

Think our eyes were the same but won't let my gaze linger

Longer he stand, I'm uneasy

Fear swarmin' my flesh

The pitch black is growin' darker

The room sinks and swirls

And the clatter from its gyre dangers wakin' my girl

His voice resemble thunder building in the skies above

His eyes a bright orange and the iris a towering flame

Veins litter his flesh, tattoos obscurin' his shame

Skin dried and withered, practically dingy and gray

Locs hang from his scalp; nappy, matted, and white

Posture poor as I am, bones protrude from his skin

Underneath that outer shell is a traumatized kid

His soul bitter and rotten

Flesh decayed and gross

Eyes lackin' humanity, pessimistic approach

It choke the air from my lungs

The weight is heavy as shit

It put the strap to my temple wit a sinister smile

I wince at its wheezing laugh as a tear rolls down

My nails dig into his flesh, tryna push his ass back

The scratches have no effect, he don't even react

He lift off of my feet, drag me to the glass

Push my face up to it, pull the hammer then laugh

Sayin, "This is it, kid. I showed up when you needed.

Couldn't picked a better time. Goddamn, I don't believe it

I thought you'd bitch up. Ah well, who coulda guessed it"

Then I stepped back and realized this my fuckin reflection

Arm leakin' from cut I caused, grapplin' self

Turned the livin' room upside down lookin for help

But found the .22 right where I left it and thought to end it

No more parenthood, problems, or job it's fuckin' finished

Thought I'd do you all a favor and end what I can't speak on

Been callin' Momma phone to no answer, that's nothin new

Only this time, no call is returned

That's when I knew that the answer to the darkness emergin' was only you

Do I have the strength to squeeze it? Believe me I wish I could

Believe me I wish a lot and none of its ever positive

Honestly, up chasin' bitch and false accomplishments

Only way they'll love me is if they grieve

So it's fuck my son

Fuck his mom

Fuck my granny

Fuck my brother

Fuck this art

Fuck this music

Fuck a album

Gimme love

Gimme peace

Gimme absolution from these evils that never cease

Gimme more hope than I had today

Gimme the night

Gimme the strength that you gifted my son it's my right

Gimme the chance to tell them that I'm sorry for who I am

Can't escape the fuckin' darkness my past has draped me in

في الظلام نرى

في الظلام نرى

في الظلام نرى

في الظلام نرى

في الظلام نرى

في الظلام نرى

في الظلام نرى

في الظلام نرى

في الظلام نرى

في الظلام نرى
