Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I wake up choking on the same dream again Fists in the sheets, teeth in my skin There’s a hallway in my head that never ends Every door leads back to this bed Cold sweat, wide eyes I’m buried awake Every second drips heavier How much more can I take? ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] My thoughts keep circling the drain I try to scream but nothing breaks If this is living, tell me how I’ve been underwater since the sound went out ⸻ [Chorus] DROWNING IN MY HEAD I’M STILL HERE, I’M STILL AWAKE I’M NOT FALLING APART I’M JUST SINKING EVERY DAY ⸻ [Verse 2] I’ve seen the corpse of my own mother I was standing there, I couldn’t move Her skin was cold, her eyes were open And there was nothing I could do There was no warning, no last sentence No meaning hiding in the scene Just a room that wouldn’t move And the sound of me trying to breathe ⸻ [Pre-Chorus 2] My pulse is pounding in my ears Like a threat I never hear I keep swallowing the pain Calling it rest, calling it safe ⸻ [Chorus] DROWNING IN MY HEAD AND I CAN’T SLOW IT DOWN EVERY THOUGHT COMES HEAVY AND IT WON’T LET ME OUT DROWNING IN MY HEAD I’M STILL HERE, I’M STILL AWAKE I’M NOT FALLING APART I’M JUST SINKING EVERY DAY ⸻ [Breakdown] LET ME OUT OF MY HEAD LET ME OUT OF THIS SKIN EVERY THOUGHT IS A WEIGHT EVERY BREATH CAVES IN I CAN’T TELL WHERE I END AND THE PANIC BEGINS I’M NOT SCARED OF THE END I’M SCARED THIS NEVER ENDS ⸻ [Bridge] There was no warning, no last sentence No meaning hiding in the scene Just the start of everything breaking And me standing there Between before and after Between who I was and what’s left Between holding it together And learning how to live with this ⸻ [Final Chorus] I’M DROWNING IN MY HEAD AND IT WON’T LET ME GO EVERY NIGHT I TREAD WATER DEEPER THAN BEFORE I’M NOT DEAD YET BUT I’M WEARING THIN I’M STILL STANDING HERE SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN
