Stop - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I need to talk to you again, it's been a long time my friend

I need you to stop me, 'cause it's gonna be a long night

Don't go in with expectations, everything takes might

I'm lost in the night 'cause I'm lost inside my head

Waking up and dream instead

Thought I could take the fight, but my wait is still so tight so I need you to observe me through the chaos that unfolds me

Stop, look

My mind is on the edge I'm walking a trembling ledge

Every word's a lie but I can't stop asking

Why this world is spinning slowly, and I need your voice to show me

Why the nights have been so lonely

The clock is stopped at 8 PM, seems the night will never end

12 AM, new day but the darkness hasn't gone away

Long nights, I can't stand them

How much do you have to sit here?

Waiting, contemplating and facing the night

Stuck in the past got ups and downs

My nests on fire, but it won’t burn out

Long nights got me feelin’ all worn

Bones crackin’ since the day I was born

Still holding back (won’t let it be)

Every bar hit (like a war to me)

All alone, just me in the sky

Yelling to silence, praying I’ll fly

I write heat by my candle light

Will y’all ride when the sun gon’ rise

These nights be testin’ my soul

But there ain’t nothing I can’t control

So am I just dust with a stage-name echo?

A flick that burned out, or a fuse still retro?

Still movin’ through static, eyes in this haze

But even if I vanish, I come back through the maze

And if nobody listen, I’ll scream to dead air

Cut through the dark like a signal dead flare

Crowd without faces, doubts in disguise

Still I bleed on these songs ‘til the sun will rise

Down on my knees, praying I can survive

This uphill climb, the longest night

So if you here this, know I’m climbing that climb

Every breath proof that I’m still in my prime

Do not come
