Livin' In My Head

[Verse 1]
I wake up tired, I didn’t even sleep
My body’s here but my mind’s in the deep
Coffee goes cold, I forget what I need
Too many voices, they don’t let me breathe
Walls getting closer, same room every day
Heart like a siren that won’t fade away
I try to focus, it slips through my hands
Like chasing smoke, I don’t understand
[Pre-Chorus]
And I smile like I’m fine, yeah I play my role
But inside there’s a war that I can’t control
[Chorus]
I’m living in my head, can’t get out tonight
Every thought’s a blade and they cut just right
I’m dancing with my fears in the neon dark
Got anxiety beating like a second heart
I’m living in my head, where the silence screams
Where depression paints my world in grayscale dreams
And I try, yeah I try, but it pulls me in
Feels like home, but it’s breaking my skin
[Verse 2]
I start ten things, never finish one
My brain’s like a race I can’t outrun
Too many tabs open in my mind
I lose myself just trying to find
A single moment where I feel okay
Not too fast, not too numb, not far away
I laugh too loud or I don’t at all
Either I’m flying or about to fall
[Pre-Chorus]
And they say “just breathe,” like it’s that easy
But my chest feels tight when it hits me
[Chorus]
I’m living in my head, can’t get out tonight
Every thought’s a blade and they cut just right
I’m dancing with my fears in the neon dark
Got anxiety beating like a second heart
I’m living in my head, where the silence screams
Where depression paints my world in grayscale dreams
And I try, yeah I try, but it pulls me in
Feels like home, but it’s breaking my skin
[Bridge]
Some days I’m a ghost in my own life
Some days I’m too much, too loud, too bright
I hate it here, but I know this place
Every corner, every scar, every face
And maybe one day I’ll learn to stay
Without running from myself halfway
But tonight I’m stuck in this storm again
Trying to make peace with the noise within
[Final Chorus]
I’m living in my head, but I’m still here
Even when it whispers I should disappear
Yeah, the dark gets loud, but I won’t give in
There’s a pulse in my chest saying “breathe again”
I’m living in my head, learning how to fight
Even broken stars still burn with light
And I try, yeah I try, even when it’s hard
To believe there’s more than this fragile heart
