Verse 1:
Yeah, I woke up with the weight on my chest
Every day feel like I’m put to the test
Burnin’ bridges, can’t go back,
Tried to run but I’m stuck in the past
Cold nights, dead stares, no sleep
Devils talk loud when your soul’s too weak
Fake friends said they’d ride, but they dipped
Now I talk to the void when I trip
Pre-Chorus:
Cut ties, let ’em bleed in the rearview
Tired of the lies, now the pain feel see-through
Built walls so high, no rescue
If I fall now, would you even come through?
Chorus:
Dead summer, heart froze in the heat
No light left, just ash at my feet
Voices in my head, still preach, still preach
But I can’t find peace, can’t reach, can’t breathe
Dead summer, no sun, just rain
Smile on my face just covers the pain
Yeah, I broke down but I learned from the flame
If you look in my eyes, all you see is the blame
Verse 2:
I don’t need your pity or your fake love
Keep that distance, I’m good, I been way numb
Tryna patch up a soul that’s been torn
I ain’t scared of the dark—I was born in the storm
Yeah, I’m tired of the cycle I’m in
Fightin’ with my shadow, I never win
Voices in my head play loud like sin
And every little crack lets the darkness in
Bridge:
I scream in silence, nobody hears
Tryna face life while I’m drowning in fears
They tell me “heal,” but they don’t know the cost
How you fix what’s already lost?
Final Chorus:
Dead summer, heart froze in the heat
No light left, just ash at my feet
Voices in my head, still preach, still preach
But I can’t find peace, can’t reach, can’t breathe
Dead summer, no sun, just pain
Every scar’s just a mark of the shame
Yeah, I broke down but I rose from the grave
Now I’m done playin’ nice—I was built from the rage
