Verse 1)
Wake up to a ceiling I’ve seen a thousand times
But the air feels hollow — the mirror’s not mine
Every breath is static, every thought’s a chain
Can’t feel the rain, can’t feel the pain
(Pre-Chorus)
I fade between the seconds lost
Where nothing’s real and time just stops
(Chorus)
This glass world cuts me open slow
Reflections crack but never show
Who I am or where I’ve been
I’m alive, but not within
Can you hear me through the haze?
Or am I just a ghost in my own cage?
(Verse 2)
My shadow moves, but I don’t chase
It’s like I’m here but out of place
The color drains from everything I see
Like the world forgot to breathe with me
(Pre-Chorus)
I reach for warmth that turns to frost
Another day, another loss
(Chorus)
This glass world cuts me open slow
Reflections crack but never show
Who I am or where I’ve been
I’m alive, but not within
Can you hear me through the haze?
Or am I just a ghost in my own cage?
(Bridge – screamed / emotional)
It’s getting harder to tell what’s fake
My heartbeat sounds like an earthquake
But no one feels it — no one sees
This quiet war inside of me
(Breakdown)
Shatter the mirror — bleed the illusion
Tear through the silence — break the confusion
If this is living, I’ll learn to crawl
I’ll fight the numb until I fall
(Final Chorus)
This glass world cuts me open slow
But maybe pain’s the only glow
If I’m still here, then maybe I
Can learn to see through all the lies
Can you hear me through the haze?
I’m breaking through my own cage
(Outro – clean)
If life’s a dream, I’ll learn to wake…
And breathe again before I break.
