BLCK

From BLCK (Deluxe)2019

Written by Joey Varela

Produced by Shawn Christmas

Lyrics

BLCK

[Intro]

Save me, I feel empty, I feel lost

Passing out from the use till I'm black and blue

Save me, I feel empty, I feel lost (I feel so empty, yeah)

Am I doing it to see what this does to me? (What this does to me)

Save me, I feel empty, I feel lost (Ooh-ooh, ooh)

[Verse 1]

I won't say I'm sorry

I can't say that I haven't made mistakes

But you won't believe me if I said that I hate this awful place

And I think I'm done, all my demons throw me love

I can stop and turn away, but I can't help who I've become

[Chorus]

Save me, I feel empty, I feel lost

Passing out from the use till I'm black and blue

Save me, I feel empty, I feel lost

Am I doing it to see what this does to me?

Save me, I feel empty, I feel lost

[Verse 2]

I swear I'm trying, but I'm falling every time

I swear this is the truth, not just another lie

Up in the air, and now I start to feel the love

And no, you may not understand, but this is how I come alive

Sometimes I wonder "Why am I this way?"

I'll pick another bottle up and watch me knock it down

Heaven on the table, chasing lines until I'm out

And this was going fine until my demons came undone

Don't let me go back to my old ways

I know I've made some mistakes

[Bridge]

I could never look my daughter in the eyes, I let her live

One day I'll come face to face with

"You were never there for me"

I won't have a response because that's just how I was

I was chasing shame and all she wanted was my love

You tried to reach out for me and I wasn't around

So I turned to drugs because I couldn't make a sound

And how they make me feel so loud

Now I'm trapped in the web and I can't get out

Shield me from the sun, wings have melted, here I come

[Chorus]

Save me, I feel empty, I feel lost

Am I doing it to see what this does to me?

Save me, I feel empty, I feel lost
