[Verse 1]
I wake up tired of being awake
Like sleep forgot how to take me away
Every plan I ever made
Still sitting on yesterday
I wear the weight of almosts and maybes
Hold my breath when the future gets shaky
I’m not lost, I’m just stuck in between
Who I am and who I thought I’d be
[Pre-Chorus]
The silence talks when the lights go low
Every thought finds a way to echo
I pace these floors like I’m doing time
In a life that’s supposed to be mine
[Hook – Spoken Word, Eerie]
There’s a voice in the dark
And it sounds like me
Says I’m running out of time
Says I’ll never be
There’s a voice in my head
And it won’t let me leave
Says stay right here
It’s my voice
In the dark
In my head
In my heart
Says not yet
Says too late
Wear my face
Seal my fate
[Verse 2]
I watch my friends pass milestones
I clap with hands that feel like stone
Smile wide, then go back home
To the same damn thoughts I know
I tell myself it’s just a phase
But phases don’t last this many days
I don’t feel broken, I feel paused
Like I missed the cue and lost the plot
[Pre-Chorus]
Every mirror tells the truth
But never tells me what to do
I try to move, my body stays
Like fear learned my name
[Chorus – Sung or Half-Spoken]
I hear me
I hear me
Talking in my sleep
I hear me
I hear me
Telling me to stay beneath
[Bridge]
I don’t need a miracle
I need momentum
I don’t need forgiveness
I need direction
I’m not asking for the end
I’m asking for a sign
That I’m more than just a thought
Running out of time
[Breakdown – Whispered / Layered]
I hear me
I hear me
I hear me
I hear me
Talking in my sleep
Telling me to stay beneath
[Final Hook – Stripped, Slower]
There’s a voice in the dark
And it sounds like me
Says I’m running out of time
Says I’ll never be
There’s a voice in my head
But tonight I breathe
And I don’t answer back
I just let it speak
It’s my voice
In the dark
In my head
In my heart
Says not yet
Says too late
Wear my face
Seal my fate
[Male Vocal]
