Decay

by King Davie

lyrics

Late night, think I hear the birds chirpin’
Contemplating, questioning what’s really worth it
I’m not mistaken, I’m just tryna serve my purpose
I can’t take it anymore, this machine is out of service
This never ending war got me burnin’ like a furnace
And I’m tryna pull away from thinkin’ all this shit is worthless
Even in my daily tasks, can’t help from gettin' nervous
Then I see behind the masks, and I realize there’s a surplus

Of young, broke, restless kids just like me
Who wanna live how they desire and could truly be free
Instead of barely getting by with the skin of their teeth
Through a system who don’t give a single fuck about Z
Why should I even bother with a college degree?
To burn a hole inside my pocket once I get on my feet?
Have a life full of debt just to make ends meet
And even after that, we still end up on the street

It’s hard to fight every day
Sometimes I can hardly even think of why I stay
Always looking for another chance to break away
Never really care how, so I’ll take it any way
And it don’t really matter what you say
We’re stuck killin’ ourselves, and this world is full of gray
I shouldn’t need a paycheck just to try and feel okay
Inside this life of decay, I’m tryna live for today

Questioning, what the fuck's the meaning
Keep on pulling through, but this place gets more demeaning
Tryna find an exit, feelin' like I’m really fiendin’
But I know I won’t go nowhere unless I just keep on dreamin’
No burnt bridge to me has any worth redeeming
Especially if you don’t wanna help my soul from screamin’
It sounds selfish, you might even think I’m schemin’
But I don’t want a part of nothin’ where my aura isn’t beamin’
And that’s how I'mma live until I die
Don’t nothin’ slow me down, ain't a need for asking why
Yeah, It’s more than just another way to get by
It’s how I keep myself alive, it’s really just a way of life

And it’ll be til the end, no matter if I descend
I know who I am, so I don’t need to pretend
I’m already tryna battle all this shit in my head
So I don’t wanna fall in line, because I’d rather be dead

It’s hard to fight every day
We’re stuck killin’ ourselves, and this world is full of grey
Always looking for another chance to break away
Inside this life of decay, I’m tryna live for today

Feels like I’m barely living at all
