Forgive Me

dark, syncopated, rap, spanish guitar, electric guitar, cello, epic, hunting sad atmospheric textures, clear raw vocals

Forgive me for fallin’, for stallin’, for givin’ my all and still losin’ it all and
Forgive me for breakin’, for shakin’, for never becomin’ the man I was chasin’
Forgive me
I let you down, I let me down, I let it all crash to the ground.

Dark.
Light.
Tryna get the balance right.
Heart.
Fight.
Every night’s a landslide.
Sisyphus—pushin’ up, rollin’ down, wrist like a clock, but it don’t go around.
Still.
Lost.
Tryna find a line to cross.
Me?
You?
Who’s really got the truth?
Been a ghost in the shape of a man I was tryna be, now I’m haunted by the thought that it’s all I’ll ever be.

Tell me
Was I ever enough? (Ever enough?)
Did I die on my feet or just drown in the dust? Is the weight that I carry just somethin’ I trust, or a chain wrapped around me, rusted and stuck?
Tell me
Would you bet on a man who don’t bet on himself? Would you pick up the pieces I lost of myself? If I lay down my pride, if I lay down my name,
would you whisper my worth or just call me ashamed?

(I been tryna find my way.)
(But the road won’t stay.)
(Tell me, tell me, tell me now…)

(Still runnin’, still runnin’...)
(Still fallin’...)

I been runnin’ up a hill just to fall back down, tryna carve my name, but the stone won’t ground me. Everything I built got swallowed in the sound, of a world that don’t wait (nah, it don’t wait). Used to watch my future like a movie scene, now the reel just skips, stuck in between. Every “one day” turned into “no way,” every runway led me back to my own grave (damn). Lookin’ at my past like a vandalized scripture, all the lines I wrote now paint a different picture. Tried to hold it in, but the cracks ran deeper, now the dam broke open and the flood won’t leave us. Forgive me for fallin’, for stallin’, for givin’ my all and still losin’ it all and Forgive me for breakin’, for shakin’, for never becomin’ the man I was chasin’ Forgive me I let you down, I let me down, I let it all crash to the ground.
