[Verse]
It’s quiet in the room but loud inside my head,
All these thoughts keep pacing where angels fear to tread.
I tried to outrun ‘em, but they know where I hide,
So I sit with the silence and swallow my pride.
No stars in the sky, just the hum of my doubt,
I light up a memory and slowly burn out.
I don’t know the way, I just know this part—
I’m not standing tall, I’m leaning in the dark.
[Chorus]
Leaning in the dark, holding on to air,
Talkin’ to the shadows like somebody’s there.
Every breath a whisper, every tear a spark,
I’m not fallin’, I’m just…
Leaning in the dark.
[Verse]
Used to think the night would bring me peace,
But now it just stretches with no release.
The echoes of “maybe” and “what if I could”
Wrap around my chest like misunderstood.
I’m not broken, just bent by the weight,
Tryna keep calm while I question fate.
Can’t see the end, just this fragile start—
So I brace myself, leaning in the dark.
[Chorus]
Leaning in the dark, holding on to air,
Talkin’ to the shadows like somebody’s there.
Every breath a whisper, every tear a spark,
I’m not fallin’, I’m just…
Leaning in the dark.
[Bridge]
Maybe light don’t always show the truth,
Maybe silence teaches more than youth.
If healing’s slow and pain leaves marks,
I’ll still stand here… leaning in the dark.
[Chorus]
Leaning in the dark, waiting on the dawn,
Wonderin’ if the fight’s where I belong.
Every scar a story, every night a part,
Of who I am—
Leaning in the dark.
[Outro]
So if you find me someday with a tired heart,
Just know I kept going…
Leaning in the dark.
