Rooftops

From X-Files2022

Written by Chris Patrick, Dende

Lyrics

Rooftops

[Intro: Chris Patrick]

Deep dive, deeper we go down this hole

Its harder now to decide, where I’ll reside

Should I stay or just go?

Lost my way on the road

These eyes seen a lotta trauma growing up

It’s hard to be fine

I realized: not okay but I know

Don't feel safe at these lows

[Verse 1: Chris Patrick]

All of these things I embody been living inside me for months at a time

I went from giving my heart to somebody to watching her give it right back cause of pride

Mental been stifled with drugs in attempt to feel numb cause I suffer with shit in thoughts

Level my comfort by how much materialistic identity I can show off

We on the gram, posting shit talking bout how “we outside my nigga”

Close up the app and I still feel as empty I just wanna hide from niggas

Look at my eyes my nigga, I done watch people live through they problems alone and done watched them just die I figure

We ain’t got that much time to get it

But something keeps telling me stick to path, promise someday we gon' get out this slump

Life is so beautiful, everything stops if I stand on this rooftop and go for the jump

What if the moment I land on the ground is the moment that everyone starts to wake up?

What if me knowing someday I’ll be proud of myself is the reason I never gave up?

[Bridge: Chris Patrick]

I’m not too sure of what the future holds

But there’s one thing I truly know

There’s one thing I truly know

[Chorus: Chris Patrick]

This pain won’t last here forever

Someday it’s gon' fade

Pain won’t last here forever

Someday it’s gon' fade

Pain won’t last here forever

Someday it’s gon' fade

This pain won’t last here forever

Won’t last here forever

This pain won’t last here forever

It’s gon' fade

This pain won’t last here forever

It’s gon' fade

This pain won’t last here forever

It’s gon' fade

This pain won’t last here forever

It’s gon' fade

This pain won’t last here forever

I pray someday I’ll be free of my feelings

I want it gone

I pray it stay gone

[Outro: Dende and Chris Patrick]

Forever

Forever

Forever

And ever

Forever and ever

Forever

Forever

Forever

Forever

This pain won’t last here forever

No, never

This pain won’t last here forever

This pain won’t last here forever

And ever

And ever
