Vitriol - Shadow Work Lyrics

First rays of sunlight, the cold breeze of autumn
The shadows fade by sight, the first leaves have fallen
Dancing, moved by sprites
Shining on the ground of golden
Death never felt so full of light
But again, all lights must eventually darken
Another path opens, another path burns
The ashes of my mind have tainted my face in the mirror
For whatever the path I follow, it never seems to matter
For everything I've touched, has always seemed to shatter
And every time I feel sadder, my thoughts take a trip to Saturn
To avoid facing what they're after, in this life or the other
Roll hash, can't stay sober, where's my glass man? I need liquor
Smoke fast, alcohol blast, till I outpass in a slumber
Cause sleep is the cousin of death
Waiting for the last of my breaths
Deep inside, forged in the flesh
The fear lies and won't let me rest
And though I've been trying my best
My mind is not passing the test
The beast done finally possessed me and
As I lay my feet on this cold ground
The sky is darkening, there's a storm now
I gotta keep my faith and hold down
I'm trying to scream, but there's no sound
As I lay my feet on this cold ground
The sky is darkening, there's a storm now
I gotta keep my faith and hold down
I'm trying to scream, but there's no sound
Jealousy fills you like Hennessy
No one be bestin' me, I got the recipe
Powers I invest in me
Still got no sympathy for none of you testin' me
Devil's been blessin' me
Y'all tryin' been vexin' me, huh
So when y'all addressin' me
Put some respect on my name
I'm the bringer of rain
Yet Imma put the damn city to flames
I'm not here for fame, I'm not here for gain
I'm not here for shit to be staying the same
Gotta sustain the whole f*ckin' game
And all wanna be king, but only one can remain
Have so many enemies, there's no need for amenities
Open them up like sesame and make some gruesome memories
Inspire some melodies to leave to the posterity
So they can see the rarity, having this much dexterity
But no one cares
No one's there to hear no one's prayers
Even then no one shares, cause no one dares
Tryin' to bare, and hold what's theirs
Can't tell what's real from what's not
Am I myself? I forgot
All I know's the spot getting hot
And your fate seems tied in a knot
There's no escape, make no mistake
You were all awake when you saw what at stake
Now it's too late, though I'm afraid
The apocalypse is here, no debate
It was overdue, let's be honest
Played your part like a pianist
No light upon us, there's only darkness, and
As I lay my feet on this cold ground
The sky is darkening, there's a storm now
I gotta keep my faith and hold down
I'm trying to scream, but there's no sound
As I lay my feet on this cold ground
The sky is darkening, there's a storm now
I gotta keep my faith and hold down
I'm trying to scream, but there's no sound
