Drowning in the Darkness

Yeah

Sink slow

Let it breathe

Eyes open but the room feel shut

Heart heavy like it filled with dust

Phone screen glow but it don't mean much

Hundred missed calls, still scared of touch

I been running from the shadows in my chest

Old scars turning into new stress

Tell myself "you fine", lie through my teeth

'Cause the mirror keep showing what I don't wanna see

Drowning in the darkness

Head under water, can't fight this

Every little breath feel heartless

Reaching for a hand in the quiet

Drowning in the darkness

Hope on the edge, I might slide off

If I disappear, would they notice?

Drowning in the darkness

Mama said "pray", I been tryna talk

But the words get stuck when the tears unlock

Boys in the group chat all play tough

But the jokes hit different when you feel cut up

Late night scrolling through the highlight reels

Wonder how they smile when I can't feel

Make a laugh in the back of the class

Then I ride home numb with a mask, like

"Yeah I'm good", same script, same line

Sleeves tugged low, can't show my mind

If pain had a sound it'd be my name

Echo in the hall every single day

If you in the dark too, say "yeah" (yeah)

If you feel the weight on your chest, still here (here)

We can be the light for the ones who scared

I ain't got it all, but I swear I'm there

'Cause I been at the edge with my feet off

Only thing that pulled me was a weak call

Just a "you okay?" from a real friend

Tiny little word made the fall end
