Dark Shoulder

Yeah
Soon soon whens it soon
Answer the question
I dont hear ya
Voice in compression

Ayy I been waitin tickin the time
Talkin in circles stayin behind
You movin in echoes lost in rewind
Speak up now quit wastin my mind

Pulled up clean fresh off the stress
Took a few losses I call it a test
Still I progress no time to regress
If you aint real then say it with chest

I saw your question
I can't hear ya speak
News flash for you guys
Masked up all week

Turned on the lights
Woop woop youre surprised
Gold in my teeth
Claws on my pride

What you expect I stay on my grind
Came from the dark now look how I shine
I dont do talkin Im movin in time
Jumped off the ledge now Im past the incline

Too many fakes too many snakes
I cut em off no time for the waits
Built like a king so I carry the weight
Stay in your lane or you might catch a fate

Crowns don’t you speak
Presence of royalty
Open back dress
Hand cold as can be

Comfort from the tests
Sleepless nights no rest
Restless at my best
Passing through the quest

Turned on the lights
Woop woop youre surprised
Gold in my teeth
Claws on my pride

Yeah yeah we movin again
Aint no pretend I do it to win
Roll with the punches I never descend
Tunnel my vision I see to the end

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah
Soon soon whens it soon
Answer the question

Mmh mmh
I see you yeah
Don’t do this to me now

Eyes lock temperature risin
Flesh talk heart indecisive
Mind race but Im movin slow
Body know where it wanna go

Fingertips tracein the air
Feel you pull me but I aint there
Gotta break outta this fight or flight
Cant keep fallin in the same old night

Said I wouldnt but I might
Keep replayin you inside
But I aint tryna lose this fight
Override override

Override the feelin override the need
You a habit but you aint what I breathe
Override the hunger override the touch
Got me stuck but I aint givin up

Taste of your name in my mind
Tongue tied but the script rewind
One glance I know what you doin
You aint gotta say it we fluent

But I been learnin new ways to see ya
No longer tryna complete ya
Told myself I wouldnt drown
So why Im leanin in right now

Said I wouldnt but I might
Keep replayin you inside
But I aint tryna lose this fight
Override override

Override the feelin override the need
You a habit but you aint what I breathe
Override the hunger override the touch
Got me stuck but I aint givin up

Midnight heart rate climbin
Moonlight hit you just right and
I should be gone but Im still right here
Still right here still right here yeah

Need a detour need a way out
Every time I try it plays out
The same way but not tonight
Override override

Override the feelin override the need
You a habit but you aint what I breathe
Override the hunger override the touch
Got me stuck but I aint givin up

Yeah
Mmh
Override override

Override

Yeah yeah
Strings still attached huh
Aint even gotta pull em
You already dancin

Drip in the lights you love the scene
Gold on your touch but you aint clean
Played the queen but you cut the king
Now you sit alone on a paper throne

Mirror love yeah you crave the view
Aint about me its just about you
Didnt want me just the weight I move
Kept me close but not in the room

Strings wrapped tight keep the dance alive
Eyes on me but its all disguise
Said you want real but you feed on lies
Bow to the play now take your prize

Puppet puppet whos in control
Move when you move but you already know
Puppet puppet tied in the show
Didnt want love just the power you hold

Knew the script knew the perfect lines
Got me hooked got me hypnotized
Pulled me in then you cut the ties
Kept me weak while you stayed divine

Whispers soft but the hands were steel
Taught me pain made me think its real
Never loved me just loved the feel
Just loved the chase just loved the thrill

Strings wrapped tight keep the dance alive
Eyes on me but its all disguise
Said you want real but you feed on lies
Bow to the play now take your prize

Puppet puppet whos in control
Move when you move but you already know
Puppet puppet tied in the show
Didnt want love just the power you hold

Puppet puppet whos in control
Move when you move but you already know
Puppet puppet tied in the show
Didnt want love just the power you hold

Take your throne take your crown
Build your world burn it down
All your loves just a game to play
You love control not the words you say

But I aint a puppet cut the strings
You cant move what aint tied to things
Now you dance but it aint for me
Now you bow but it aint on me

Puppet puppet whos in control
Move when you move but you already know
Puppet puppet tied in the show
Didnt want love just the power you hold

Yeah yeah
Pull the strings let em break
Aint your play no more
Nah

Puppet

Yeah yeah
Walkin off the set now
Aint playin that role no more
Nah

Used to chase the signs used to read too deep
Used to break myself just to watch you keep
Held my breath tryna hear what ain’t mine
Now I see clear baby I was blind

Gave you space but you took the whole lane
Made me weak while you stood there unfazed
Had me tryna solve what was meant to fade
Had me tryna fight while you played it safe

Gave you warmth you left me colder
Now I move in dark shoulder
No more words no more closure
Aint no fightin just composure

Dark shoulder turn away
Used to chase not today
Dark shoulder let it fade
Aint no need for me to stay

You got used to the way I would fold
Kept me close but you kept me controlled
Now I see what I never was shown
You were comfy I was losin my own

Used to beg for a breadcrumb of truth
Used to twist every word into proof
Used to drink just to soften the view
Now Im clear now Im seein right through
Go

Gave you warmth you left me colder
Now I move in dark shoulder
No more words no more closure
Aint no fightin just composure

Dark shoulder turn away
Used to chase not today
Dark shoulder let it fade
Aint no need for me to stay

Still bossin me round like Im still that guy
Still thinkin Ill wait still think Ill try
Let me clear the air let me dim that light
Aint your problem now I aint askin why

Dark shoulder turn away
Used to chase not today
Dark shoulder let it fade
Aint no need for me to stay

Yeah yeah
Fadin out
Aint my fight no more
Nah

Yeah yeah
Told you once I dont repeat it
You aint see it now you see it

Wasnt tryna flex just played my role
Kept it real now you outta control
Actin like you never knew the gold
Now you see the crown now you fold

Took my love played with it reckless
Now you watch me move like Im destined
I aint even mad I expected
Now you regret it aint that a message

Told you I was different told you I would shine
Now you see the vision now you press rewind
Used to have the key now the doors closed
Bet you feel it now yeah thats your loss

Your loss your loss now you see the cost
Fumbled what you had now Im takin off
Your loss your loss I aint lookin back
Took too long to see me now you want me back

I was patient I was real with it
Told you truth let you deal with it
Now you tryna spin the wheel with it
Funny how the time make you feel different

Now you see the glow now you hit my phone
Now you wanna talk now you all alone
Thought Id wait around thought Id still be home
I been on the move I been in my zone

Told you I was different told you I would shine
Now you see the vision now you press rewind
Used to have the key now the doors closed
Bet you feel it now yeah that’s your loss

Your loss your loss now you see the cost
Fumbled what you had now Im takin off
Your loss your loss I ain’t lookin back

You twist the meaning make me lose control
I said queen but you just felt the cold
I said truth but you just let it go

You think its bout the body but its so much deeper
But you just slam the door act like i dont see ya
Baby dont you know you makin me leave ya

Ooooh why you fightin

Damn corrinaaa
You runnin from the truth like a fever
I held you down now im burnin up alone
Said you my queen but you dropped your throne

Damn damn damn girl

I gave you words that shoulda set you free
But you just heard the ones that cut too deep
You call me crazy tell me im the one
But I see through it girl i know you run

Mmm you dont wanna face it
Why you frontin

Said I need a queen not a friend with no fire
But you shut it down like love is a liar
Took my heart put it up on trial
But I walk away now yeah im done no denial

Ooooh we coulda had it
Ooo we coulda had it

Girl you say you dont owe me a thing
But tell me why love always got a price to bring
I never asked for more than truth and peace
But now I see you aint meant for meeee

Damn corrina why you do me like that
Why you run

Damn corrinaaa
You runnin from the truth like a fever
I held you down now im burnin up alone
Said you my queen but you dropped your throne

Ooo girl you lost me now
Damn damn damn girl

damn Corrina

I walk through the crowd they dont see the beast
To them Im composed I speak perfect peace
But inside Im roaring Im breaking Im wild
I swallow the fire I force down the bile

They dont feel the weight they dont know my name
They just see the smile they dont see the pain
I could tear this whole world down in a second
But if I snap I know theyll call me a weapon

They gotta stop being stupid and love me now
Im screaming inside but they dont know how
My love tank is empty its drained its dry
Im breaking Im shaking Im barely alive

Hug me hold me warm me now
Im dying here don’t leave me out
Not many people even need this love
So why am I here just giving it up
Breathe in breath out
Stay with me please dont goo o

They like me normal they like me calm
They say they love me but only with walls
They dont want the truth they dont want the rage
They just want a picture they dont want the page

I see them staring whispering nodding
Judging me quiet while Im still rotting
I wish I could throw them like Hulk through the wall
But I know if I do theyll just fear me and stall

They gotta stop being stupid and love me now
Im screaming inside but they don’t know how
My love tank is empty its drained its dry
Im breaking Im shaking Im barely alive

Hug me hold me warm me now
Im dying here dont leave me out
Not many people even need this love
So why am I here just giving it up
Breathe in breath out
Stay with me please dont goo o

I just need someone to see me
Not fear me not flee me
I just need warmth I just need light
I just need love in this endless night
Help me love me stay please 

Hug me hold me warm me now
Im dying here dont leave me out
Hug me hold me warm me now
Im dying here dont leave me out
Not many people even need this love
So why am I here just giving it up

I just need someone to see me
Not fear me not flee me
I just need warmth I just need light
I just need love in this endless night
Help me love me stay please 

Hug me hold me warm me now
Im dying here dont leave me out
Not many people even need this love
So why am I here just giving it up

Your Loving Husband

Would you force the weak to kneel
Id rather die than fake whats real
Im not the king who takes the crown
Im the blood that hit the ground

I am the one they overlook
But I got the pages they never took
Im not the roar Im the tremble
Soft spoken but I dismantle

Love is my weakness yes its my wound
But I bleed truth in every tune
I dont bow to strength I bow to grace
You want a god look in my face

Im not hard Im holy
Im not cold Im only
Broken but I rise slow golden
I am the weak but Im winnin
Love made me deep and Im swimmin
No throne no sword no flex just livin
Your loving husband still givin

They said bow before the strong
I said nah you got it wrong
The ones who weep will write the songs
The softest heart gon live the longest

You thought I needed armor on
But I just put my silence on
And still I shine through every trial
My weakness got its own style

That cup overflow
I speak what I know
I love and I grow
This aint control it’s letting go

Im not hard Im holy
Im not cold Im only
Holdin to the flame that knows me

I am the weak but Im winnin
Love made me deep and Im swimmin
No crown no fight no fame just vision
Your loving husband on mission

I Am The Weak

Join my DISCORD and we will talk about EVERYTHING!
