Verse 1
I learned the heat before I learned the light
Every touch a spark, every spark a fight
You said it’d fade, but it never did
Now I flinch at love like a guilty kid
Ash on my hands, but I still reach out
For something real in a world of doubt
Every scar’s just proof I stayed too long
In a place that taught me pain was strong
Pre-Chorus
I hear my heartbeat, but it don’t feel mine
Like I’m out of step, always half a line
Chorus
I feel everything, it’s too much to hold
Like a fire in my veins, burning ice cold
I’m screaming inside, but I don’t make a sound
Somehow I’m lost while I’m still around
Every cut, every word, every ghost I’ve known
Built a hollow heart that I call my home
Yeah, I’m breaking down, but I won’t let it show
I feel everything… but I feel nothing though
Verse 2
I remember when it used to hurt clean
Now it’s tangled up in what it all means
Every memory’s a double-edged blade
Cuts me open, but the pain won’t stay
I laugh at jokes I don’t understand
Try to feel alive, but I just pretend
Like a ghost in skin that don’t quite fit
I’m here, I exist… but that’s about it
Pre-Chorus
I see the colors, but they all look gray
Like they faded out when you walked away
Chorus
I feel everything, it’s too much to hold
Like a fire in my veins, burning ice cold
I’m screaming inside, but I don’t make a sound
Somehow I’m lost while I’m still around
Every cut, every word, every ghost I’ve known
Built a hollow heart that I call my home
Yeah, I’m breaking down, but I won’t let it show
I feel everything… but I feel nothing though
Bridge
If I shut it off, would I disappear?
Or just lose the only proof I’m here?
‘Cause the pain’s the only thing that’s true
When I don’t feel it, I don’t feel you
So I stand in the flames just to feel alive
Even if it burns, even if I die
A little more each time I try
Final Chorus
I feel everything, it’s tearing me apart
Like a wildfire raging through my heart
But I’m frozen still in the afterglow
Where the highs don’t reach and the lows don’t go
Every tear I cry just dries on stone
In a body I swear I don’t own
Yeah, I’m breaking down, but nobody knows
I feel everything…
But I feel nothing though
Outro
So I’ll wear these scars like they’re all I’ve got
Proof I’m alive… even when I’m not
