Woke Up

Verse 1

I swallowed the quiet, I swallowed the pain,

A handful of pills to numb the strain.

Closed my eyes, wanted it to end,

Hours later I woke, feeling pretend.

Pre-Chorus

Dizzy and broken, my chest still tight,

The world didn’t stop, but nothing felt right.

Chorus

It wasn’t enough, the darkness remained,

A shadow of me, still calling my name.

I tried to escape, tried to fall away,

But morning came, and I had to stay.

Verse 2

My head spun wild, my heart still beat,

A body alive but a soul in defeat.

I wanted silence, I wanted release,

Instead I woke up, no comfort, no peace.

Pre-Chorus

Dizzy and broken, my chest still tight,

The world didn’t stop, but nothing felt right.

Chorus

It wasn’t enough, the darkness remained,

A shadow of me, still calling my name.

I tried to escape, tried to fall away,

But morning came, and I had to stay.

Bridge

I know I’m here, but barely alive,

Clinging to fragments, just trying to survive.

The weight of the day, the fear of the night,

The memory of trying, still gripping tight.

Outro

Woke up, woke up, the pain didn’t end,

A life still mine, though I can’t comprehend.

I tried to leave, but I’m still in this frame,

A body, a shadow, and the echo of blame.
