[Verse 1]
Every time your hands find mine, I hear the sirens sing.
Your kindness feels like borrowed time, a knife with velvet wings.
I memorize the silence before you’ve even gone,
Building funeral processions for a love that’s still unborn.
My reflection wears your leaving like a second skin.
Every smile becomes a warning, every breath a hidden sin.
I sharpen every little doubt until it draws blood,
Then wonder why my heart keeps drowning in its own flood.
[Pre-Chorus]
I can hear the wolves inside my skull,
Turning every whisper into judgment.
You call it hope…
I call it evidence waiting to happen.
[Chorus]
Don’t tell me you love me—I’ll poison the sound.
I’ll bury your flowers before they touch the ground.
I built this prison stone by stone,
Then blamed the world for leaving me alone.
My mind keeps writing endings before the story starts.
I become the fire that burns my own heart.
I needed love… I just couldn’t survive it.
So I became the prophecy that I kept hiding.
[Verse 2]
I collect every failure like relics in a shrine,
Polishing old heartbreaks until they start to shine.
They tell me, “You deserve this.” I laugh into the dark.
Because every open doorway feels like another mark.
I search your face for cracks that haven’t formed yet,
Reading futures in shadows that never even met.
One innocent delay becomes a lifetime in my head.
By morning I’ve convinced myself we’re already dead.
[Breakdown]
I don’t need enemies—
I’ve mastered the blade.
Every chance I ever had
Was another grave I made.
The voices never whisper.
They scream until they’re true.
If I expect abandonment…
Eventually, you do.
[Bridge]
Maybe I don’t fear loneliness…
Maybe I fear peace.
Who would I become
If the war inside me ceased?
I’ve worn this suffering so long
It feels like family.
If you loved every broken piece…
Who would I have left to be?
[Final Chorus]
Don’t tell me forever—I won’t believe a word.
My thoughts are blackened choirs where every doubt is heard.
I pull the trigger on the dreams I should protect,
Then mourn the ghost of what I couldn’t resurrect.
My brain keeps carving scars into a future still unknown.
Turning every heartbeat into another tombstone.
I wanted your love more than I ever let you see…
But the darkest thing I’ve ever had to fight
Has always… been me.
[Outro]
So if I disappear beneath the weight I’ve always known…
Don’t think you weren’t enough.
I was never fighting you.
I was fighting the echo…
That never learned
How to call itself home.
