[Verse]
Half of my heart in a cardboard box,
Memories stacked like a game of Jenga, topples with shocks.
Breath feels thin, lungs play pretend,
Dreams dissolve in the static, can’t find where they end.
[Chorus]
Half of the time, I’m just barely surviving,
I’m trying, I’m trying, I’m trying, oh yeah, I’m trying.
The weight on my chest, gravity’s lying,
I’m trying, I’m trying, I’m trying, oh yeah, I’m trying.
[Verse 2]
Tears drip ink, diary’s drowning,
Clock ticks loud, my shadow’s frowning.
Eyes burn red, nights go black,
Chasing the sun but it won’t look back.
[Pre-Chorus]
Shards of me scatter, mosaic in the rain,
Every step forward, dragging my chain.
[Chorus]
Half of the time, I’m just barely surviving,
I’m trying, I’m trying, I’m trying, oh yeah, I’m trying.
The weight on my chest, gravity’s lying,
I’m trying, I’m trying, I’m trying, oh yeah, I’m trying.
[Bridge]
Nights like a movie but the film keeps skipping,
Hope’s a tightrope and my balance is slipping.
Hands reach out but the void keeps winning,
The end of the tunnel, the light keeps dimming.
