Before The Dawn - Horrorshow

It’s darkest before the dawn

So right now I’m tryna hold on

The calm before the storm

Is when you gotta learn to be strong

It’s like I don’t know where to start 'cause there’s so much to say

Had this pain up in my heart when I woke up today

Tell myself this too shall pass, be calm, it’s just a phase

But the breath inside my chest is getting tight, thinking that I just might

suffocate

Walking underneath these city lights, all I see is strangers' faces

And I wonder what would it be like if I could just try trading places

Would the world look any clearer when I looked into the mirror?

Or are they the same as me?

Just staring, hating their reflection (Question)

Vision is clouded, feeling alone in this room that’s so crowded right?

Thinking as dark as the cloud that is hanging up over my head like the

powerlines

Feeling surrounded, no way around it, knowing that I got a mountain to climb

I wanna shout it, think I am going up out of my mind

It’s darkest before the dawn

So right now I’m tryna hold on

The calm before the storm

Is when you gotta learn to be strong

'Cause no one’s gotta take this weight

For me

Hope someone’s gonna say a prayer

For me (Somebody say a prayer for me)

Why I’m getting this high?

Why I’m feeling this low?

Why I’m living this lie?

Why can’t I let go?

I got nowhere to hide, I can’t take it no more, am I losing my mind?

What I’m doing this for?

I just don’t know (I just don’t know)

I just don’t know (I just don’t know)

Why I’m getting this high?

Why I’m feeling this low?

Why I’m living this lie?

Why can’t I let go?

I got nowhere to hide, I can’t take it no more, am I losing my mind?

What I’m doing this for?

I just don’t know (I just don’t know)

I just don’t know (I just don’t know)

Man, I swear this life will eat you up, I swear this life will wear ya down

We all got pain up in our hearts, all got things we’re scared about

See we were taught to hold it in, gotta find a way to let it out

Roll another joint and light it up, write another page and tear it out

Now all those voices in your head, making noise and getting loud

That’ll make you feel like giving up, make you feel like checking out

Got me feeling like a missing person, like no one knows my whereabouts

I should know that people care about me, they’re the same ones I care about

But right now my mind is playing tricks and telling lies, scheming,

tryna take control of me

If I lose then I’ma pay the price, got me scared to even go to sleep

Tonight if I should die before I wake, dunno how much more that I can take

Praying I can just hold on until the light of morning breaks

It’s darkest before the dawn

So right now I’m tryna hold on

The calm before the storm

Is when you gotta learn to be strong

'Cause no one’s gotta take this weight

For me

Hope someone’s gonna say a prayer

For me (Somebody say a prayer for me)
