HOOK (high, stretched, emotional)
What’s it like to wake up… and be meee…
Is it a cooold… and haaauuunted… fairy‑taaaale dreeeaaam?
Every mornin’ I’m fallin’, I can’t hear my own screeeaam,
Weak tears shake — bones ache — breakin’ at the seam…
I don’t wanna die… I just wanna feel alive again…
⸻
VERSE 1 — (your story, metaphorically dark)
So what’s it like?
Ok… I’ll stop lying — here’s the truth in my skin:
I wake up feelin’ lost, wonderin’ who I’ve ever been,
Tryna figure if you know what I’m thinkin’ within.
I feel pain, I feel empty, I feel suicidal,
Like I’m stuck in a cycle that’s long gone viral.
Trauma crawls from the west end — deep in my brain,
Where the shadows keep talkin’ and whisperin’ shame.
Some nights I blame myself like I opened that door,
Like Pandora’s box woke demons I’d buried before.
I feel robbed by the world, like my soul got mugged,
Like life hit a jugular and left me unplugged.
And the memories chase me — hellfire on my track,
Call me the devil ‘cause I carry hell on my back.
But I don’t know where I stand, don’t know what’s pretend,
I’m numb, I’m hollow, breakin’ again.
There’s nobody here — just me and my thoughts,
And the pieces of a person this trauma forgot.
⸻
CHORUS (sad, stretched, hopeless)
What’s it like to be me?
It’s a cold broken echo in a body that bleeds.
It’s a suicidal storm that I’m tryna out-run,
It’s a mind fightin’ battles that it’s already won.
It’s a scream…
in a dream…
that nobody sees…
And that’s what it’s like to be me.
⸻
VERSE 2 — (darker, deeper emotional collapse)
Some days are lighter… some hours survive,
But most of the time? I’m barely alive.
Suicidal thoughts drip slow like a leak in my mind,
And the harder I try, the deeper I find.
I’m haunted by choices — the ones I didn’t make,
The nights I wasn’t there, the moments that break.
I feel guilt like a chain that wraps tight ’round my chest,
Like I’m payin’ for sins that were never confessed.
I try to breathe… but the air feels thin,
Like the world’s movin’ on while I can’t begin.
I’m a ghost in my life, a shadow in scenes,
A prisoner trapped in my own memories.
And I swear I’m tryin’ — tryna climb out the pit,
But trauma keeps pullin’ like it’s never gon’ quit.
I pretend I’m okay, but the ache never ends,
I’m alive…
but I’m breakin’ again…
⸻
OUTRO — (soft, whispered, fading)
**What’s it like to be me?
It’s a question that hurts more than it frees…
But if you ever feel the same —
just know you’re not alone in the dark with the screams…
Yeah…
that’s what it’s like…
to be me.**
