dark side

Lyrics

[Intro - eerie synths, distant screams, slow 808 crawl, muttered ad-libs]
Yeah...
Why the hell life gotta feel like a punch in the gut?
Every day some dumb shit... every day another cut...

[Verse 1 - cold trap drums, twisted piano loop, grimy low-end, aggressive whispered delivery]
I wake up mad, same walls, same pain in the room,
Same fake-ass smiles with the stink of a tomb.
Tryna keep my head up, but the world keep slippin’,
Step in the wrong spot and the whole day’s trippin’.
Bills in the pile like a coffin lid,
Boss talk slick like I’m not a grown kid.
Phone full of drama, friends turn snakes,
Every little thing just another heart break.
Traffic jam rage, then the rent due late,
Microwave meals and a mouthful of fate.
I’m tired of the grind, tired of the lies,
Tired of lookin’ at the fear in my own damn eyes.

[Pre-Chorus - rising tension, haunted vocal layers, hi-hats speeding up]
Why it gotta be this way?
Why the dark always stay?
One more hit, one more loss,
Feelin’ like I’m payin’ just to breathe in this place...

[Chorus - explosive, menacing, distorted lead vocal, hard 808s and sinister synth brass]
Why is life so hard to deal with dumb shit?
Every little problem turn into a dungeon quick.
Mind like a graveyard, heart like a bruise,
I’m just tryna survive when the whole world lose.
Why is life so hard to deal with dumb shit?
Same old devil in a new outfit.
If pain’s a game, then I’m cursed in the mix,
Stuck in the dark while the whole sky splits.

[Verse 2 - darker, more frantic trap percussion, low synth drones, rapid-fire cadences]
Couple bad texts and my whole chest cave in,
One wrong look and I’m back in the same sin.
Family talk loud, everybody got a cure,
But nobody been through what I’m forced to endure.
I seen dreams get chopped like a body in a trunk,
Seen hope get drowned in a bottle and a funk.
Now I laugh at the chaos, grin at the flame,
’Cause if I don’t go numb, then I’m eaten by the pain.
Every dumb little thing got a bullet in disguise,
Every small-town lie got a noose for the mind.
I’m haunted by the hours, I’m cursed by the clock,
Tryna build a life while the world wanna mock.

[Bridge - stripped-back piano, ghostly choir pads, vulnerable half-sung delivery]
If I scream to the void, will it answer me back?
Or just echo my fear through the cracks in the black?
I’m not made of steel, I’m just tired and scarred,
Tryna find a little light in a life this hard...

[Final Chorus - bigger, heavier 808s, layered screams, anthemic horrorcore energy]
Why is life so hard to deal with dumb shit?
Every little problem turn into a dungeon quick.
Mind like a graveyard, heart like a bruise,
I’m just tryna survive when the whole world lose.
Why is life so hard to deal with dumb shit?
Same old devil in a new outfit.
If pain’s a game, then I’m cursed in the mix,
Stuck in the dark while the whole sky splits.

[Outro - fading ambience, distant thunder, whispered ad-libs, decaying reverb]
Yeah...
Dumb shit...
Same curse, different day...
Still here... barely...
