MELABBY - Promises Lyrics

Shadows drag across my tired face
Whisper shit at me, but I don't f*cking listen
Empty streets, cold fog creeping over the asphalt
And the dogs behind the fences just stare, dead silent

I fall hard, but I claw my way up
The night don't give what it f*cking promised
Every fear carves itself into my bones
But the dark ain't got shit on the light

Thoughts come and go, can't hold onto 'em
The day chews up my soul and spits out the pieces
When night falls, it drags me further out
Building something from nothing, brick by f*cking brick

Is the truth buried somewhere in the fog
Do you chase it, or just pray for another morning
When the dark closes in and silence takes over
Does your heart hold, or does the monster break loose

I fall hard, but I claw my way up
The night don't give what it f*cking promised
Every fear carves itself into my bones
But the dark ain't got shit on the light

The waves smash into my face
The night screams, but I f*cking scream back
I'm still here, no matter how many times I fall
No end in sight - so f*ck it, keep going
