Dark light

(Diggy Graves–style: melodic rap, emotional, dark but hopeful)

(Intro – Soft, melodic)

Yeah…

I been fightin’ my demons in the middle of the night,

Tryna turn all this pain into somethin’ I can write…

(Verse 1)

I got scars on my soul that nobody sees,

Smile on my face but I’m beggin’ for peace,

Everybody want love but they scared to be weak,

So we hide all our feelings and bleed in the beat.

I been talkin’ to God like, “What you want from me?”

I been walkin’ through hell with a cross on me,

They say time heals wounds but it hauntin’ me,

Every night same dream and it’s stalkin’ me.

I was young, I was dumb, I was lost in the dark,

Tryna find me a spark, tryna mend my heart,

Every lie that I told just to play my part,

Left me broken inside, now I’m tearin’ apart.

They don’t know what it’s like when you feel so alone,

In a room full of people but you still not home,

I been buildin’ my throne out of sticks and stones,

Tryna prove to myself I can stand on my own.

(Pre-Chorus – Melodic)

I been runnin’ from pain but it keepin’ my pace,

Every tear that I cry got a name and a face,

If I fall one more time, I’ma still find a way,

‘Cause I’m tired of livin’ like I’m already dead.

(Chorus – Big Emotional Hook)

I got dark thoughts, but I still see the light,

I got hard scars, but I still wanna fight,

I been down bad, I been losin’ my mind,

But I’m still here breathin’, so I know I’m alive.

I got dark days, but I still chase dreams,

I got heartbreak runnin’ through my bloodstream,

If I don’t make it out, at least I tried,

I got dark thoughts… but I still see the light.

(Verse 2)

I been pourin’ my pain in a microphone,

Every word that I write feel like I’m at home,

They say “man up,” but they don’t know,

How it feel when your heart feel like stone.

I lost friends to the drugs and the suicide,

Lost trust in the love, now I’m dead inside,

Every promise I made, I let that die,

Now I’m tryna rebuild with a better vibe.

I been countin’ my sins like a grocery list,

Every bad decision that I can’t resist,

I keep prayin’ for change but I don’t do shit,

Still stuck in my ways like a broken disc.

I just wanna be real, I don’t wanna pretend,

I don’t wanna be fake just to get some friends,

If they love me for me, then I let ’em in,

If they cross that line, I’m cuttin’ the ends.

(Pre-Chorus – Melodic)

I been runnin’ from pain but it keepin’ my pace,

Every tear that I cry got a name and a face,

If I fall one more time, I’ma still find a way,

‘Cause I’m tired of livin’ like I’m already dead.

(Chorus)

I got dark thoughts, but I still see the light,

I got hard scars, but I still wanna fight,

I been down bad, I been losin’ my mind,

But I’m still here breathin’, so I know I’m alive.

I got dark days, but I still chase dreams,

I got heartbreak runnin’ through my bloodstream,

If I don’t make it out, at least I tried,

I got dark thoughts… but I still see the light.

(Bridge – Half-Rap, Half-Sing)

Mama told me, “Boy, don’t quit,”

Even when the world make you feel like shit,
