Before The Dawn

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 gettin' tight

Thinkin' that I just might suffocate

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

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

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

Or are they the same as me, just starin'

, Hatin' their reflection (Question)

Vision is clouded, feelin' alone in this room that's so crowded right

Thinkin' it's dark as the cloud that is

Hangin' up over my head like a power line

Feelin' surrounded, no way around it

Knowin' that I got a mountain to climb

I wanna shout it, think I am goin' 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 gonna take this weight for me

Hope someone's gonna say a prayer for me

(Somebody say a prayer for me)

Why I'm gettin' this high? Why I'm feelin' this low?

Why I'm livin' this life? Why can't I let go?

I got nowhere to hide, I can't take it no more

Am I losin' my mind? What I'm doin' 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 gettin' this high? Why I'm feelin' this low?

Why I'm livin' this life? Why can't I let go?

I got nowhere to hide, I can't take it no more

Am I losin' my mind? What I'm doin' 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 you 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, makin' noise and gettin' loud

That'll make you feel like givin' up, make you feel like checkin' out

Got me feelin' like a missin' 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 playin' tricks and tellin' lies

Schemin' 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

Don't know how much more that I can take

Prayin' 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 gonna take this weight for me

Hope someone's gonna say a prayer for me

(Somebody say a prayer for me)

Why I'm gettin' this high? Why I'm feelin' this low?

Why I'm livin' this life? Why can't I let go?

I got nowhere to hide, I can't take it no more

Am I losin' my mind? What I'm doin' 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 gettin' this high? Why I'm feelin' this low?

Why I'm livin' this life? Why can't I let go?

I got nowhere to hide, I can't take it no more

Am I losin' my mind? What I'm doin' this for?

I just don't know (I just don't know)

I just don't know (I just don't know)
