They Circle In Like Vultures

Check out the original song amazing talent @persuasivepro Started getting some momentum Built it brick by brick Years spent chasing something real Now they act like it came quick Thought they’d smile when I made it Thought they’d want to see me rise Funny how a little progress Brings the jealousy to life I’ve made mistakes, I won’t deny it Said some things at the wrong time Heart on sleeve, emotions loud Never learned to hide mine Still I keep my head down Still I focus on the road Carrying dreams and old scars Like a weight nobody knows I hear whispers in the background Every room, every screen People talking like they know me Never knowing what I’ve seen Storm clouds hanging overhead But I won’t break or disappear I’ve survived a lot worse things Than the voices that I hear They circle in like vultures Watching every little move Waiting for a crack to show Praying I’ve got more to lose They circle in like vultures I stay quiet, let them stare If they came to watch me fall They’ll be disappointed there They wanna see my downfall Every shadow, every scar Still they circle in like vultures While I’m becoming who I are God protect my peace tonight It’s getting harder to ignore Everybody’s got an angle Everybody wants some more Truth gets twisted into headlines Rumours spread like wildfire One small spark becomes a blaze Fed by bitterness and liars I never asked for validation Never needed their applause Only wanted something honest Built from passion, built from flaws But some people love destruction Love to see the bridges burn Never learned the cost of hatred Never cared enough to learn Late nights staring at the ceiling Blue light glowing in the dark Wonder how the view looks different From a distance, from above Maybe then I’d understand it Why some hearts turn into stone Why success can feel so lonely When you’re carrying it alone They circle in like vultures Still they’re waiting for the crash Counting every little stumble Hoping this one doesn’t last They circle in like vultures But I’m stronger than before Every scar became a lesson Every wound became a door They wanna see my downfall Let them watch from where they are They circle in like vultures But they’ll never know my heart Still watching… Still waiting… Still talking… And I’m still moving.
