Falling through the static

I’ve been running from the echo in my head,

Shadows on the walls pulling at the threads.

Tried to hold on but I’m slipping through the seams,

Silence getting loud ’til it drowns out all my dreams.

And every time I try to stand, I break,

Another promise that I couldn’t take.

I’m falling through the static,

Caught in all the panic.

Screaming but I vanish in the noise inside of me.

I’m breaking automatic,

Pressure getting tragic.

Tell me how to breathe when I can’t set my mind free.

I keep fighting but the world feels out of sync,

Heart is like a weight pulling me to the brink.

Trying not to be the person that I fear,

But the mirror doesn’t let me disappear.

I’m tired of pretending I’m okay,

Another battle that I lose each day.

I’m falling through the static,

Caught in all the panic.

Screaming but I vanish in the noise inside of me.

I’m breaking automatic,

Pressure getting tragic.

Tell me how to breathe when I can’t set my mind free.

I’m trapped in the moment,

The past keeps pulling,

A war inside my chest I can’t control it.

Lights keep fading,

Walls keep shaking,

I build myself up just to feel it breaking.

I’m falling through the static…

Caught in all the panic…

Trying just to find a little piece of clarity.

I’m breaking automatic…

Pressure getting tragic…

But I won’t let the dark take the rest of me.
