[Verse 1]
Jaw clenched
IV drip
Red tint
Flatline flirting
Hear the wires hiss and sing
Breath caught
Ribs like rusted gates
Nurses move in slow frames
I’m trapped in the in‑between (hey!)
[Pre-Chorus]
I taste dirt
I taste morphine
Both hands clawing at the screen
If this is mercy
It’s obscene
Who decides what “over” means?
[Chorus]
I’m stuck between life and death
Half a scar
Half a breath
Screaming at a ceiling that won’t speak back
If I let go
Do I fade to black?
I’m stuck between here and gone
Clock runs but the time feels wrong
If I wake up
Will I still be me?
Or a ghost in a body that just won’t leave
[Verse 2]
Eyes roll
See the childhood snow
Grandma’s voice in echoes
Saying
“kid
You can’t stay long”
Code blue
Hands pound on my chest
Angel
Devil
Both contest
I just laugh and choke on air
[Pre-Chorus]
I smell smoke
I smell lilacs
Every memory overlaps
If there’s a door
It’s sealed in glass
Do I break through or turn my back?
[Chorus]
I’m stuck between life and death
Half a scar
Half a breath
Screaming at a ceiling that won’t speak back
If I let go
Do I fade to black?
I’m stuck between here and gone
Clock runs but the time feels wrong
If I wake up
Will I still be me?
Or a ghost in a body that just won’t leave
[Bridge]
Tear the stitches
Rip the script
I won’t drift out
I won’t just slip (yeah)
If you want my soul
Come and bleed me dry
I’ll crawl up the line
I refuse to die
[Breakdown]
(Stay down!)
Voices chant my name
(Black out!)
But I reject the grave
(Stand up!)
Every nerve ablaze
I pick this pain
I pick this cage
[Chorus]
I’m stuck between life and death
Half a scar
Half a breath
Screaming at a ceiling that won’t speak back
If I let go
Do I fade to black?
I’m stuck between here and gone
Clock runs but the time feels wrong
If I choose hurt just to still believe
Then this ghost in my body will never leave
