LYRIC FOR SALE

By KerriAnne

Pre-chorus
Escape the fear trying to manipulate you like a puppeteer
Cozy in your cell like an inmate with no deal
The heavy silence, screaming as you say your prayers
Downplay the darkness and it’ll be your doomsday
Find a way to hold on tight you ain’t no lightweight

Verse
How, how
How do I pull myself out of this vortex
I want to but these doubts wrecked me
Have me caged and wrapped inside my mind
I’m drowning in a sea of exhaustion and despise
Darkness in the shadows I want to be free

Verse
Down, down
So far down I’ve hit the centre of the Earth
A battle fought like an amateur through hardened ground
This prison seems impenetrable reinforced blackness
Do I stay in this doom knowing my future or
Break away from the maniacal hold, the evil whisperer

Chorus
Escape the fear trying to manipulate you like a puppeteer
Cozy in your cell like an inmate with no deal
The heavy silence, screaming as you say your prayers
Downplay the darkness and it’ll be your doomsday
Find a way to hold on tight you ain’t no lightweight

Left to fend for myself, the universe, my God, AWOL
Never have I felt so vacant and small
No, I have faith in me, I am not misplaced
I apologize God, my judgement erased
Darkness in the shadows give it the deathblow

Verse
Is it really what I want, to break these thoughts, hell yes
God, I want to be free of these wars, to walk in sunshine
Play in the rain, reborn from the tears of the sky
Absolved and replenished able to breathe again
I won’t be coming back I’m running into self-care
I have the courage to break these patterns

Pre- chorus
Escape the fear trying to manipulate you like a puppeteer
Cozy in your cell like an inmate with no deal
The heavy silence, screaming as you say your prayers
Downplay the darkness and it’ll be your doomsday
Find a way to hold on tight you ain’t no lightweight

Bridge
Push the darkness into the light, watch it disintegrate
Unafraid feeling lighter and dancing in delight
The stormiest of skies are freshly bright, oh what a sight
With strategies of wisdom feeling as strong as graphite
I’m walking the flower path blooming at my own pace
Don’t give up, talk it through, let the darkness out
The shadow is an illusion to tempt you black
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

Chorus
Escape the fear trying to manipulate you like a puppeteer
Cozy in your cell like an inmate with no deal
The heavy silence, screaming as you say your prayers
Downplay the darkness and it’ll be your doomsday
Find a way to hold on tight you ain’t no lightweight

Left to fend for myself, the universe, my God, AWOL
Never have I felt so vacant and small
No, I have faith in me, I am not misplaced
I apologize God, my judgement erased
Darkness in the shadows give it the deathblow

Outro
G.O.D, let me hear G.O.D
I couldn’t duck you God, you were there
When I was mad glad sad like a comrade
I shouldn’t have avoided you, I’m imperfect
I’m like you thank the Universe
Darkness in the shadows give it the deathblow
Find a way to hold on hold on, hold on
Don’t throw that stone you ain’t alone
(I am not alone, not alone)
Darkness in the shadows I am free
Darkness in the shadows you are free
Darkness in the shadows, free to just be
(Shadows, shadows)
