Thani & Ufo Funk Band This Darkness (feat. Morgan Wallace)
[Verse 1: Thani]
I live in a sewer
Ashamed, I wait 'til after the sun falls to come home
Through the manhole and rise before the night flees
I'm tired - don't get much rest living like me
Outfits ironed, linens pressed
I keep 'em ready, pretending to be the best
Dressed in blessing, but my skin radiates illness
Eyes to the ground, masking my mess
To ensure the surface people don't think to look twice
At me; a sewer mutant in disguise
No longer do I look at the skies, 'cause to reach 'em
I've gotta spend time learning the science to build a rocket that flies
Which implies compromise to revise my lies
I can't improvise denies - Irony...
Because of the belt they want me to wear
My clothes will fall revealing the filth I carry
(ain't it scary.)
[Bridge: Morgan Wallace]
The thing about the underground
Is that it's so dark, you can't see
That he's not alone, we've got our own
Problems that we can't reprieve
The thing about the underground
No one is ever clean
And it's so dark - you'll never know
What it's like to be free
[Hook: Thani]
You're not alone in the dark
Light shines through
You gotta to keep fighting for your life (yuh)
[Verse 2: Thani]
But my love for the sewer's too powerful a force
Dreaming about it all day, I want it: no remorse
In the snares of staleness, we crave elation
And we submit to The Warden and his corroding curse
"Can I have some? (Fill up your plate)
I need much more. (Well, in that case...
Give me your soul, release control
A day in chains, then again we'll touch base, ugh)
I can't see life different than this
Oh, I can't see wife living with this
Dismissed the gift, I can't imagine the beauty I've missed
Spending so much time in this darkness
Do I like it down here?
Am I from around here?
Was I really born out of the night?
Why don't I feel fear?
