**Intro**
Yeah…
It’s quiet when you finally listen
**Verse 1**
I been starin’ at the ceiling like it got answers
Fan spinnin’ slow, mind movin’ faster
Laugh with my friends, but I don’t say much
They see the smile, don’t feel the crutch
I got love, still feel alone
Got a phone full of names I won’t call home
Every win feel hollow somehow
I made it here, but I don’t know how
**Pre-Chorus**
I keep tellin’ myself I’ll be okay
But my voice don’t sound convinced when I say
**Chorus**
I’m still awake when the world go quiet
Thought I’d find peace, but I keep denyin’
All the weight that I hide in my chest
I say “I’m fine” like it’s my best guess
Yeah I’m still awake, eyes heavy, heart tired
Tryna put out flames, but I’m wired
If tomorrow come, I hope I cope
I been runnin’ low, but I still got hope
---
**Verse 2**
I remember dreams feelin’ simple
Now they feel sharp, yeah they poke my mental
Pressure hit different when they know your name
Everybody cheer, but you still feel strange
I give love away like I don’t need it
Say I’m past the pain, but I still feed it
Got scars I joke about in the daylight
But they scream at me every midnight
**Pre-Chorus**
If I slow down, all the thoughts collide
So I stay movin’ just to survive
**Chorus**
I’m still awake when the lights go dim
Tryna make peace with the mess I’m in
All this noise in my head won’t rest
I just want quiet, not happiness
Yeah I’m still awake, talkin’ to ghosts
Old versions of me I miss the most
If I drown a little, I still float
I been losin’ faith, but I still hope
---
**Bridge**
Maybe I’m broken, maybe just human
Maybe this pain just part of the movement
If I fall apart, don’t look away
I’m just tryna make it through another day
---
**Verse 3**
I ain’t askin’ for savin’ or signs
Just a moment where my heart unwind
I been strong for so long it hurts
Carryin’ heaven and carryin’ dirt
If I disappear inside my head
Just know I tried my best instead
I loved hard, even when it cost
Still lookin’ for what I lost
**Final Chorus**
I’m still awake, eyes on the dawn
Wonderin’ where all the time gone
If this sadness never fully leaves
I’ll learn to sit with it quietly
Yeah I’m still awake, but I breathe
Even broken hearts still beat
If there’s light on the other side
I’ll keep swimmin’ ‘til I arrive
---
**Outro**
Yeah…
If you hear this, I’m still here
Just tired
