Seconds in the dark
Ulises Konishi
Staring at the wall, counting seconds in the dark
Everybody's sleeping while I'm trying to find a spark
I put on a mask just to face the morning light
'Cause if they saw my thoughts, it would give them all a fright
Slow steps on the floor, yeah, the air is getting dense
My own shadow hits me and it makes no fucking sense
They created a monster, now they're scared to look at me
The world is just a stage full of lies you shouldn't see
My heart is racing fast and the anger starts to grow
Chewing on the words that I never let them know
Dropping heavy lines just to shut down all the noise
Looking for an exit while I'm losing all my joy
They tell me to be calm while the roof is falling down
They judge me for the way that I try to hold my ground
But I'm still standing up, taking pressure every day
With a heavy voice that defines what I should say
Walking through the night with a clear head on my own
Hoodie pulled up high and I'm staring at my phone
I got the rhythm ready and the time is moving slow
Don't talk to me about promises, I watched them come and go
I know who is who when the midnight starts to bleed
Fake friends looking for something that they don't even need
I stay in my zone, wasting hours that are left
Moving through the streets while the others lose their breath
It's the perfect mix between the quiet and the mad
A trapped mind that doesn't care about what is good or bad
Whispers in the dark and the anger that I keep
An attitude from the block when the city goes to sleep
The alarms are turning off and the ground begins to still
There are no words left that can fix the way I feel
Sinking in my chair while the beat is running slow
Watching how the pieces fall apart and let it go
Shut your mouth
Listen to the beat
The storm already passed through here
Stay in silence
There's nothing left to say
