(Intro)
Yeah...
I don't even know what to feel anymore
I've been staring at the same four walls
Wondering if you're gonna call
But I know you won't, yeah, I know you won't...
I'm just trapped inside this void, and my heart is destroyed
Everything's changing, nothing is the same
I'm just another player lost inside of the game...
(Chorus)
They tell me everything is gonna be okay
But I can't feel my face and I'm fading away
I'm caught up in a storm and I'm losing the fight
Looking for the dawn but it's always the night
I pour another cup just to numb out the pain
Driving in the fast lane, going insane
They tell me everything is gonna be okay
But I'm fading away, yeah, I'm fading away
(Verse 1)
Wake up in the morning and my vision is blurred
Nobody listening, I'm never heard
Got a pocket full of money but my spirit is broke
Everything is funny till you're choking on smoke
I remember we were young and we were dreaming so big
Now I'm digging my own grave, yeah, I continue to dig
Got the devil on my shoulder whispering in my ear
Telling me I'm worthless, feeding all of my fear
I don't wanna be a burden, I don't wanna be a ghost
But the ones that say they love me always hurt me the most
I've been running from the past, I've been running so fast
Hit the gas on the dash, hoping I'm gonna crash
No, I don't really mean that, I'm just out of my mind
Trying to find some peace that I'm never gonna find
Got a heart made of glass and it's breaking to bits
I'm so sick of the hypocrisy, I'm sick of the shits
Yeah, the fake smiles, all the handshakes, all the lies
I can see the hidden motives looking into their eyes
(Chorus)
They tell me everything is gonna be okay
But I can't feel my face and I'm fading away
I'm caught up in a storm and I'm losing the fight
Looking for the dawn but it's always the night
I pour another cup just to numb out the pain
Driving in the fast lane, going insane
They tell me everything is gonna be okay
But I'm fading away, yeah, I'm fading away
(Verse 2)
Shawty hit my line, she just wanted a piece
I don't got no love to give, I'm a runaway beast
I've been locked inside my head, it's a dangerous place
I've been trying to erase every tear on my face
But they stain, yeah, they leave a mark that never goes away
And it gets a little darker every single day
I just bought a new chain but it's weighing me down
I'm the king of the sad boys, wearing the crown
In a mansion by myself, screaming out in the hall
Ain't nobody gonna answer, ain't nobody gonna call
I've been staring at the ceiling till the sun's coming up
I've been mixing up my feelings with the stuff in my cup
I don't wanna feel the sorrow, I don't wanna feel the dread
Got a thousand different voices arguing in my head
And they never seem to quiet, they just turn up the volume
I'm a ghost inside a shell, I'm a flower with no bloom
(Bridge)
Are you willing to ride for me? Are you willing to die?
Are you gonna be the one that wipes the tears from my eye?
'Cause I'm falling off the edge, and there's no safety net
All these memories I have, I'm just trying to forget
I'm just trying to forget...
Yeah, I'm trying to forget...
(Verse 3)
Lost track of the days, lost track of the weeks
I'm a puzzle missing pieces, playing hide and go seek
With my own sanity, it's a slippery slope
At the end of my rope, hanging on without hope
Got a closet full of skeletons I'm trying to hide
But they bust down the door, creeping into my mind
I'm so tired of the running, I'm so tired of the chase
I just want a little peace in this desolate space
Every time I close my eyes, I see flashes of you
And it tears me apart, yeah, it breaks me in two
I'm a shadow of a man, I'm a whisper in the wind
Tell the Lord to forgive me for the ways that I've sinned
'Cause I didn't mean to do it, I was lost in the dark
Trying to ignite a fire from a dying out spark
Now the ashes are cold and the embers are dead
I'm just trapped inside this prison that I built in my head
(Chorus)
They tell me everything is gonna be okay
But I can't feel my face and I'm fading away
I'm caught up in a storm and I'm losing the fight
Looking for the dawn but it's always the night
I pour another cup just to numb out the pain
Driving in the fast lane, going insane
They tell me everything is gonna be okay
But I'm fading away, yeah, I'm fading away
(Verse 4)
I've been looking for a way, looking for an escape route
All these people in my face, telling me what they think about
I don't really give a damn, I'm just trying to survive
I'm just going through the motions, barely feeling alive
Taking pictures with the fans, but I'm dead inside
Got a smile on my face that's just trying to hide
All the trauma, all the drama, all the nights I was crying
When they ask me how I am, they don't know that I'm lying
I'm a master of disguise, I'm a thief in the night
Stealing moments of joy just to feel like I'm right
But the gravity pulls, and I'm falling again
Back into the same cycle, wondering when it will end.
Yeah, wondering when it will end.
(Verse 5)
It's a tragedy unfolding, right in front of the screen
Living in a nightmare but they call it a dream
Everybody want the fame, everybody want the wealth
But they don't know what it does to your mental health
I'm exchanging all my sanity for a couple of checks
And I'm carrying the world on the back of my neck
I'm a product of the pain, I'm a child of the night
I've been staring at the sun but I'm losing the light
Give me one more reason, give me one more chance
To break out of the trance, and escape from the dance
Of the devil and his demons that are circling me
I'm a prisoner of the life that was supposed to set me free
(Outro)
Yeah, I built it in my head...
They tell me everything is okay...
But I don't feel okay...
Can't feel my face...
I just wanna escape...
Everything is gonna be okay...
