Don’t Stay by BLACKLARK - Zona

Lyrics

(Dark soft hip hop, 2025 music vibe, disorganized, messy style, dizzy, broken, depressed)

Verse 1

Another bathroom mirror, different light

Mascara running like it’s tired of the fight

I memorize the ceiling, count the cracks

Pretend my body isn’t something I detach

I let strangers learn me by muscle and skin

Skip the questions, let the quiet in

I don’t want love, I don’t want names

Just something loud enough to drown my brain

Pre-Chorus

I say yes before I think

If I slow down, I’ll sink

Chorus

I’m using my body like it’s currency

Like it’s cheaper than feeling what’s under me

Faces blur, they bleed together

I don’t care who’s touching me, I just need pressure

I’m trying to outrun the weight in my chest

With warm hands and a temporary fix

I want to escape what’s living in me

But my mind won’t shut up, it just watches me

Verse 2

I leave before the sheets get cold

Before they start asking what I’m running from

I keep it shallow, keep it fast

If it means nothing, it doesn’t last

I tell myself I’m choosing this

But choice feels thin when I’m like this

I don’t feel powerful, I feel erased

Like I’m trading pieces just to feel replaced

Pre-Chorus

I don’t want to be alone with it

The thing that waits when I get quiet

Chorus

I’m using my body like it’s currency

Like it’s cheaper than feeling what’s under me

Faces blur, they bleed together

I don’t care who’s touching me, I just need pressure

I’m trying to outrun the weight in my chest

With heat, with skin, with something intense

I want to escape what’s living in me

But my mind won’t shut up, it just watches me

Bridge

There’s a version of me that’s so damn tired

She doesn’t cry, she just complies

If I’m wanted, I can disappear

If I’m touched, the noise gets quieter

I don’t hate myself

I just don’t know how to sit with it

I don’t want to feel

So I let it turn physical

Final Chorus

I’m using my body like an exit sign

Pointing anywhere but inside my mind

Faces fade, they all look the same

I forget them faster than I say my name

I’m not looking for love or rest

I’m just trying to survive my head

I want to escape what’s living in me

But my mind’s the place I can’t fucking leave
