lyrics

Ooh Ah
Esta casa encendida
Is waking me up from my dreams
I don't want this moment to die
How can I save you?
Caer en lo olvidado
Falling where I cannot reach you
Into the fire of time

Ooh Ah
Esta casa encendida
Is waking me up from my dreams
I don't want this moment to die
How can I save you?
Caer en lo olvidado
Falling where I cannot reach you
Into the fire of time

Look, look
If I could collect those seconds and stash 'em up in bag
And lock 'em up in a safe for which I only knew the pass
I would
And play 'em back while I'm 30 thou' over land
Or layin' up on the sand while the sun is takin' a bath
And throwin' em colours up while I'm kickin' back with a glass
Uh
It's getting more and more difficult to reach back
Each moment has its own grave
The cemetery's the past
That's somethin' everyone knows
Not revolutionary facts, but
Sometimes it hit different
That moment when you realise things ain't gon be infinite
Every word yo brain said you just wish that your lips did
Acceptin' that you just gon' have to settle for fiction
That's a different kind of pain that we have to sit with
The kind of pain that folks deal with by sippin' that liquid
The kind of pain that only fade when seconds get tickin'
And says forget tomorrow the present's all that we gifted
And that's it

Ooh Ah
Esta casa encendida
Is waking me up from my dreams
I don't want this moment to die
How can I save you?
Caer en lo olvidado
Falling where I cannot reach you
Into the fire of time

Ooh Ah
Esta casa encendida
Is waking me up from my dreams
I don't want this moment to die
How can I save you?
Caer en lo olvidado
Falling where I cannot reach you
Into the fire of time

Setenta quatro peligro no puedo ir with no pass
Southside of O city
Lived next to Kendra Kendra Moises
Apueda was hell inside were demons out of a glass
Crack epidemic extended
But still we made it through all that
Pain comes from a war that we cannot see
Emotional thinking about all the pain I've seen
Saw my little brothers casket and could not speak
De vecino a amigo ahora perdido
R.I.P Milio
Goin' through deep depression today
I have to remind myself that the past I cannot reshape
I walk around like I'm cool
But pretend a smile on my face
I am not fake I just choose to escape the pain with the faith
I am human and I am weak
Face so many obstacles
Barely can sleep
Stay busy just to feel ok so I can breathe
If nothing truly last forever
When does the pain leave?
Ayúdame Cristo

Ooh Ah
Esta casa encendida
Is waking me up from my dreams
I don't want this moment to die
How can I save you?
Caer en lo olvidado
Falling where I cannot reach you
Into the fire of time

Ooo ooh ah
Esta casa encendida
Is waking me up from my dreams
I don't want this moment to die
How can I save you?
Caer en lo olvidado
Falling where I cannot reach you
Into the fire of time

How can I save you?
Caer en lo olvidado
Falling where I cannot reach you
Into the fire of time
