lirik lagu nico roberts - when the moon's gone

[chorus]
when the moon’s gone, i don’t see my face
just a sh~ll in the mirror with a bloodstained grace
ain’t no light where my heart used to beat
just echoes of the streets and these f~ckin’ receipts
they tally up pain, dollar signs in shame
tryna heal with a verse, but i’m lost in the flame
every lie, every tear, every mask i put on…
i become who i hate when the moon’s gone

[verse]
i was sittin’ on the edgе of the block, hoodie tight
cold nights, fifth in my lap, thinkin’ if i might
live past twеnty, or die like the rest
tattoos on a wall, names carved in flesh
my brother got shot on a tuesday mornin’
i was eatin’ toast when i heard my momma warnin’
“don’t go out, baby, just stay in the crib,”
but i ain’t listen, i dipped like i always did
came back and saw red, not from the sun
but from the blood runnin’ out the mouth of the one
that used to ride with me, side by side
shared a bunk, shared a dream, shared all pride
now i’m knee~deep in guilt, waist~deep in pain
with a blunt in my palm and his name in my brain
i ain’t cried yet, not ‘cause i’m tough or numb
but ‘cause if i cry now, i know i might run
into the same street where he bled and fell
let the heat sing back and raise my h~ll
used to draw comics, used to rap on tapes
now i draw guns on the same d~mn snakes
we was just kids with a notebook full of verses
now i’m writin’ eulogies and practicin’ curses
the cops said “wrong place, wrong time” again
but he lived there, how he gon’ die where he been?
ain’t no logic in this block drama
only thing that make sense is trauma
i walk with his voice in the back of my head
like “don’t let ’em k!ll you too, go break bread.”
but the bread moldy, the streets been fed
with the souls of the young who got caught in the web
i got ghosts i can’t name, shadows that lurk
ptsd in my pen, and i still go to work
they say rap saved me, nah, it barely kept me up
just gave me somethin’ to hold when i self~destruct
i done screamed at the sky ‘til my throat turned black
like “god, where the f~ck was you at?” no cap
i ain’t get no sign, just rain and cold
so i lit a newport, and let my heart fold
got a shorty who love me but i push her away
‘cause how i show love when i rot every day?
i ain’t pure, i’m a cracked mirror reflection
tryna glue the past but keep missin’ sections
i remember laughin’, now i remember blood
used to pop water balloons, now we drown in the mud
his voice still play on my old voice mail
i rewind it like maybe i can dodge this tale
but the story set, the script been carved
his name inked deep in my mother’s scars
and i ride for him — every beat, every show
like this mic’s a tombstone, this verse is his soul
i miss him more when the streetlights fade
when the moon’s gone, and my demons parade
they march to the sound of the shots i remember
every july feel like a cold~ass december
can’t sleep long — nightmares too vivid
and the reaper keep askin’ me, “are you finished?”
nah, i got bars, i got wounds to tell
and a grave i visit when the city yell
pour liquor on concrete like ritual rites
then walk back home with no appetite
i done tried church, tried therapy, too
but nothin’ hit like the pain when i think of you
i wrote this verse with a razor and pen
every line’s a scar i can’t pretend
they say “heal”, but the wound don’t close
it just hides in the beat and explodes in shows
i perform with a grin, but inside i burn
like every rhyme i spit is your urn
i just want one night to undo fate
to step back before they opened that gate
but time don’t bend, it breaks, it crushes
and i’m left with voices, memories, and hushes
ain’t no peace in the projects, only silence
where the moon vanish and all turn violent
i been stabbed in the back, hugged by the fake
learned that love in this game is a mask they make
so i trust no soul but the beat and booth
and i scream on tracks like i’m beggin’ for truth
this is all i got — this page and pain
and a god i question every time it rain
so if i die, let ‘em play this loud
let the whole block know i ain’t fold or bow
i wrote my heart out, spilled my sin
and let the verse bleed where the end begins
[chorus]
when the moon’s gone, i don’t see my face
just a sh~ll in the mirror with a bloodstained grace
ain’t no light where my heart used to beat
just echoes of the streets and these f~ckin’ receipts
they tally up pain, dollar signs in shame
tryna heal with a verse, but i’m lost in the flame
every lie, every tear, every mask i put on…
i become who i hate when the moon’s gone
