Intensity - Black Hearts (Lyric Video)
Rest in Peace Etika.
I grieved the best way I knew how, writing a song about it. I miss you Desmond.
LYRICS:
You always had an audience, no chance to hide away
Friends you never knew you had were checking in to watch you play
You inspired thousands with what you had to say
Until I woke up to another suicide today
I was numb to my core, I was blaming myself
So many fucking clowns who undermined your mental health
Criticised cries for help, but it's also on yourself
You ignored the signs and your friends and family's help
You were going off the rails, I was worried for a while
The way you acted, your behaviour clearly didn't match your style
Missing for days, floating down a river mile
God knows the fear you felt when you faced your last trial
It's almost like you wanted us to know that you were hurt
You were cryptic, indecisive, and you couldn't find the words
Until you said you were sorry, and fucking sorry you were
You had to sacrifice yourself for there were demons to purge
There will be black hearts,
black hearts, in the air
We put up our black hearts
You will be remembered
Those who have black hearts
lack hearts, should be scared
We put up our black hearts
A part of our own hearts
When I was feeling low, I'd put on your videos
Mainly your reactions to Smash Bros. and memes
Though it's only starting to hit me, I'll never know the answer
Mental health slowly kills like an invisible cancer
Give people love, while they're still here on earth
Give people the courage to fucking shatter this curse
Time to suffocate the stigma, show people their worth
Before things get worse and they end up in a hearse
Etika, Avicii, Bennington, Cobain
Cornell, Lil Peep, Mac Miller, A. Bourdain
So many I've looked up to, their deaths are not in vein
Check up on your strong friend, and help them ease their pain
I'll miss you man, guess the streamer life was draining
A friend of mine's a streamer in training
I almost lost him a couple weeks back too, what can I do?
I guess I'll just write a song again, it's raining
I don't wanna bury any friends
I don't wanna bury any, I don't wanna bury any
I don't wanna bury any friends
Pumping in your chest, I don't wanna bury friends
