Smoke and Shadows

(Hmm... late night thoughts dey kill person)

Chai...

I dey smoke another stick, memories dey choke my mind

Every face wey I remember, e dey haunt me from behind

Wetin I suppose forget, e dey play like broken tape

My head no fit rest, overthinking no get escape

See me for this corner, darkness be my only friend

Questions wey no get answer, when this spiral go end?

I dey drown inside my thoughts, nobody fit understand

This weight upon my chest, e heavy pass contraband

Smoke rising to the ceiling, memories dem no dey fade

Every thought dey cut me deeper, for this prison wey I made

I dey think am, overthink am, my mind no fit stay still

Lost inside these shadows, cigarette ash and empty thrills

Midnight conversations with the ghosts inside my brain

Every choice wey I don make, e dey bring me only pain

I fit see the sunrise coming but my soul still stuck for night

Dey replay all my mistakes, nothing ever feel right

This melancholy dey heavy, e dey wrap me like a blanket

My thoughts dem dey spiral, no safe place for me to anchor

Smoke another one, maybe this one go clear my head

But the memories dem persistent, dem no gree make I forget

Smoke rising to the ceiling, memories dem no dey fade

Every thought dey cut me deeper, for this prison wey I made

I dey think am, overthink am, my mind no fit stay still

Lost inside these shadows, cigarette ash and empty thrills

(Chai... person head fit heavy sha)

Smoke and shadows...
