Kick Drum Heartache

Another morning

Same cracked mirror

Same tired eyes

Same old fear here

Bills on the table

Dreams on the floor

Scrolling through faces

Still feel ignored

Laugh off the pressure

Choke down the doubt

Smile for a second

Break when it’s out

Tell me

Is it always like this?

Running on fumes and cheap bliss

I’m screaming in a crowded place

But no one even turns their face

This is my kick drum heartache

Every beat just fights the pain

Life hits heavy

I still stay

Stomp the ground so it won’t break

This is my kick drum heartache

I’m still here through all this weight

If I fall

I’ll rise again

Hit that drop and drown the rain

Friends getting married

New cars

New names

I’m stuck in circles

Same job

Same shame

Mom says she’s worried

Dad just stays quiet

I turn the volume

Try to defy it

Tell me

Is it always like this?

Running on fumes and cheap bliss

I’m screaming in a crowded place

But no one even turns their face

Hands up high for the broken

For the ones who barely cope

Turn the hurt into motion

Every hit a little hope

[whispered vocals] I’m not okay

But I won’t fade

[build

Riser] If all I’ve got

Is this sound wave
