city of angels

<sub>dark city like the way it is, stuck to a clock
crucified at the crux of time chained to a lock
scars in my chest where my heart used to rest
too much trauma make me wanna forget but i cant

its prolly best so i know what my abusers did
boasted in my face then hated that i saw who it is
coulda stayed in the shadows but fire is luminous
my virtue was trust their fatal flaw was arrogance

they hate it raw, theyre scared of real
rather have a masquerade ball than just chill
wanna save face with the neighbors who hate em
appearances prioritized over the truth within

i used to give benefit of the doubt
but now the minute i sniff deception im kicking you out
if i have to live alone in fortress of solitude ill call it home
if thats what it takes to straighten my crown

no safety for agents and street kids alike
when even the dark alleys ruled by the principalities
where do they turn children to body bags
when did reality turnout this savage

woke up one day like an alarm was sounded next to my bed
glanced to my left there was a power outage no LED display
just seen the way that it used to be in my dreams they were sweet
awakening is witnessing a nightmare from which you cant even wake

God debased himself but said he dont make no mistakes
so the city of angels filled with deceitful snakes
theyre raking in on the world making bank the evil way
i cant help but grieve when i take

devil in the white city of ameri kkk
revelations said itll be passing away its getting late
but still i wait for it as many days as necessary
every prayer was heard every person already sealed their fate

la la la la
dark city gonna go away
la la la la
dark city gonna fall one day
la la la la
and i wont shed a tear
la la la la
when the end is near

la la la la
la la la la
