Somewhere I Belong

[Verse 1]
Folded hands on a bedroom floor
Mouth full of words I don't trust anymore
Stare at the ceiling till it looks back down
Silence is louder than any sound
[Chorus]
I’m burning up
I’m burning out
I’m screaming your name till my lungs give out
If you’re there
Why do you stay gone?
I’m tearing at the dark for
Somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong
[Verse 2]
Photos of faces that said you were real
Pinned to a wall I don't want to feel
Every verse memorized
Carved in my skin
Still every prayer just folds back in
[Chorus]
I’m burning up
I’m burning out
I’m screaming your name till my lungs give out
If you’re there
Why do you stay gone?
I’m tearing at the dark for
Somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong
[Bridge]
I said I’d trust you
I said I’d stay
But you keep your distance
While I come apart every day
Do you ever get tired
Of watching me fall?
Or am I just talking
To drywall?
[Breakdown]
(Answer me) if you ever cared
(Answer me) or were you never there?
Tear out my throat just to hear that sound
I’m on my knees
But I’m breaking down
[Chorus]
I’m burning up
I’m burning out
I’m screaming your name till my lungs give out
If you’re there
Why do you stay gone?
I’m tearing at the dark for
Somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong
(Somewhere I belong)

Choruses explode with open chords, layered harmonies, and raw, cracked-throat shouts. Bridge drops to almost spoken confessional over sparse guitar, then slams into a final, half-time breakdown with gang vocals and held-out dissonant chords., post-hardcore, emotional
