Jhameel - Bernal Heights lyrics

I never really felt the weight
Of family on my back
I just carry myself because there
Is nothing I have
If there were ever moments when I
Felt the rhythm of life
It was as fleeting as I
Plus I never look back

When I was younger
Oh my appetite for power was large
And I would take what I need
Because I always took charge
And now I see the people struggle
From the top where I stand
And I get all that I need
But there is nothing I have

I left my home my love and friends
Now pride and loneliness remain
The tower I built is meaningless
I yearn for touch and happiness
The night is everything and nothing
In the city of fog
I feel the cool of the breeze
I feel the coming of dawn
But there is comfort in the silence
Of the Heights of Bernal
It isn't ever enough to
Cure the loneliest hearts

And when the rising of the
Sun wakes edges of clouds
I see the shadows of towers i
See the pain of the dark
And for a moment i could understand
The joy of the light
But such a thought is naive
So then I come back to life

I left my home my love and friends
Now pride and loneliness remain
The tower I built is meaningless
I yearn for touch and happiness

I never really felt the weight
Of family on my back
I just carry myself because there
Is nothing I have
If there were ever moments when I
Felt the rhythm of life
It was as fleeting as I
Plus I never look back

When I was younger
Oh my appetite for power was large
And I would take what I need
Because I always took charge
And now I see the people struggle
From the top where I stand
And I get all that I need
But there is nothing I have

I left my home my love and friends
Now pride and loneliness remain
The tower I built is meaningless
(I carve my path in stone)
I yearn for touch and happiness
(My pride is all I need)
I left my home my love and friends
(My demons stay inside me
Now pride and loneliness remain
(My rage my lust my greed)
