Dark Place

[Verse 1: Pastor Julian] Even with my eyes open it’s a dark place Even when I smile it’s a dark face Who’s the dummy in the mirror? Yeah I hate myself Who’s the one I wanna kill? I wanna kill myself Could it be hope in this last breath? Could it be hope if I take this step? Nah, I’m just tripping I need to shake it off. I need to stand up I need to pray it off. I can’t give up Need to walk this road with my head up Need to walk this road with my hands up Need to walk this road with the Holy Spirit Need to walk this road with my faith in it Need to walk this road like I’m gonna win it Need to fast all night ‘til I see the truth Need to read all night to get close to You Need to praise all night to get close to You Yeah, to get close to You [Bridge 1: Pastor Julian] Have you ever needed rest but ya couldn’t sleep? Room full of silence, but ya can’t think? All the air that you need, but ya can’t breathe? Seeing twenty-twenty, but ya can’t see? Gotta ask myself can ya hear me now You don’t need they claps gon’ take a bow Gon’ take a deep breath gon’ head and smile They say pain comes for a little while Joy never seems to come on my block Santa Clause in the hood, not on my block Happy married in the hood, not on my block Naw, not on my block Time to pack up from this old street Move closer to the Lord ‘cause He loves me I’m a soldier of the Lord, thought they knew me I’m a truth teller, stronger than a OG If I write a dark song can ya hear me now? If I talk about death can ya feel me know? If I cry on a single would you buy it now? If I told you I was broke would you book me now? [Verse 12: Pastor Julian] People rather just die ‘cause they can’t cry And you still can’t tell ‘em that you’re sorry? And you still can’t tell ‘em that you’re wrong? Yeah I’m praying for you No love in your heart let’s pray it in No joy in your heart let us sing it in No peace in your heart let Him bring it in Let Him bring it in Put the dark down, don’t you give up Get that bible open and keep your chin up Let the angels sing to you with their wings up Let the Lord speak to you with His healing touch Let the Lord love on you with His healing touch Let the Lord guide you with His healing touch Yeah, with His healing touch [Bridge 2: Pastor Julian] Have you ever needed rest but ya couldn’t sleep? Room full of silence, but ya can’t think? All the air that you need, but ya can’t breathe? Seeing twenty-twenty, but ya can’t see? Gotta ask myself can you hear me now You don’t need they claps gon’ take a bow Gon’ take a deep breath gon’ head and smile They say pain comes for a little while Joy never seems to come on my block Santa Clause in the hood, not on my block Happy married in the hood, not on my block Naw, not on my block Time to pack up from this old street Move closer to the Lord ‘cause He loves me I’m a soldier of the Lord, thought they knew me I’m a truth teller, stronger than a OG If I write a dark song can they hear me now? If I talk about death can you feel me know? If I cry on a single would you buy it now? If I told you I was broke would you book me now? [Outro: Pastor Julian] Get the tears off your face, toughen up chief You gon’ graduate this, cap and gown please You gon’ see it to the end, here’s the finish line
