This Darkness ft. Morgan Wallace & Ufo Funk Band Lyrics

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)

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

You’re not alone in the dark

Light shines through

You gotta to keep fighting for your life (yuh)

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?

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

You’re not alone in the dark

Light shines through

You gotta to keep fighting for your life (yuh)
