Manzy - Malachi's Tale

Let me take you back,
Sitting on the roof in the moonlight
I know it's gonna be a long night
Look up to the sky
Clouds roll silently
Quietly scroll through my phone
Screen broke, doesn't bother me though
I open up my messages just to close it
I don't wanna come down yet
I kinda like being alone yeah
Lie back and stare at the stars
Cause I don't wanna go inside and pray to God
Head in my hands I take a minute to myself
Before I head back down

I wake up for school it's 7am
Do I get up or lay in my bed?
Turn on the light, open my phone
Man I should pray, nah
Instead I go on a run
Run in the dark and I almost get hit by a car
Look at the sun it's starting to rise
Light's flicking on
Finally get back to home
Finish a meal and get on the road
Traffic is slow when I arrive already late to my class
Try to sneak in crouching real low
The teacher turns and what do you know
Why are you late?
Well I reply traffic what can I say
Why is he looking at me funny?
Panic is starting to rise I ain't done nothing
He stares at my eyes then smiles
Points to a seat and so I sit down
Before you know I'm sleeping real sound
When it finally ends I walk in the library

I pull out my phone I see there's a girl
Says that she likes me
I think it's unlikely
How do I say this let me put it politely
Last one didn't work out
I tried to put it behind me
I know we met at a camp but
Only met the nice me
I sit in my chair and look at the ceiling
Pondering thoughts very appealing
The more I think the more that I want it
Leave the room not ready to be honest
Put on my bag and walk to my car
Avoiding the crowd avoid everyone
Then I sit down look at my phone
And send her a text we should meet up

They were the happiest days of my life
Used to live in the dark she pulled me into the light
And I saw with a new set of eyes
With her I knew that I would be alright
Through all the darkness
Through all the mountains I had to climb
Through all my sadness I had a shoulder to cry upon

Move on two years and I'm sitting on a bed
Hands on my head,
Looking at a text she sent
I wasn't ready for this, no
I was like eight hours from home
No one around no one to hold
Me and myself and two friends
But I couldn't open to them
I spent many many days
Tryna ease the pain
But it remained

Hi, don't mind that I intervene
Malachi's gone now you're with me
He needs a break so he set me free
I'm coming I'm coming to
His mum called him up said that she loved him
I just hung up
She didn't know that he was long gone
On a vacation till I sorted his soul
I was created when he could not hide
Ever since then I've ruled all his life
When he was down I told him to die
He would not he would not listen!
So I killed joy, and threw her body in prison
As a warning for anyone trying to challenge me
And question my own existence
I am his fear
I am the night
I am the dark
I am a spirit of vice
I am the reason why he cannot sleep in the night
He's praying to God but it will not help
Pray all he wants I'll take him to hell
Where he will learn I am the reason why nothing in life is going that well
