Common

Paroles de « Common »

Yo, my sweet,
I’m stuck in a hole,
Everything’s blurry, everything’s gray.
My dreams got the vibe of disdain.

Days roll by,
Memories fade away.
I remember our laughs, our kisses,
But here it’s messed up, under fire, tears, and screams.
The faces I loved,
Just shadows I give a smirk to.

It’s like a black-and-white sketch,
A rough draft lacking finesse.
It’s explosive, it’s lit,
Fresh blood, no politeness.

I’m sorry,
Ain’t the same me.
Every step, I’m drained, drained,
Like yesterday and the day before, same old problems.

Damn, I’m wrecked.

Walking under a starless sky,
Wiped out before I even hit the canvas.
I’m writing to you, but my words are weak, man.
Like they’re sketched out with charcoal.

Everything’s gray here,
Hope’s dying, swept by the wind.
Welcome to the land of shadows,
I’m lost here, moving kinda slow.
He’s gone mad in these ruins.

I can’t take it, I’m losing it,
I miss you, that’s all, no doubt.
I’m fighting folks I don’t even know,
The dude in the mirror? That’s the worst, that’s me.
Broken face, shattered heart,
I’m the rival, always tired.

Wanna be charming,
But I can’t do it no more.
My mind’s fading, twisting,
Like that charcoal sketching out death.

Goodbye, or maybe see ya soon,
Keep going, don’t wait for applause.
The tunnel’s long, and the light’s far,
I don’t know what tomorrow’s gonna bring.
A soldier of ash burned in the fire of the common good.
Common, like... a... fool.
