(Verse 1)
Wake up, but I don’t feel awake,
Another day, another fight to fake.
The sun shines, but it don’t reach me,
Just another shadow in this endless sea.
I hear the world, but it sounds so far,
Like I’m trapped inside a broken jar.
People pass, their voices blend,
But I can’t tell enemy from friend.
(Verse 2)
I get up slow, force my feet to the ground,
But the weight of the world keeps pulling me down.
I smile on cue, say, “Yeah, I’m fine,”
But the cracks in my voice give away the lie.
There’s a war inside I can’t explain,
A silent battle inside my brain.
I scream so loud but make no sound,
Like I’m six feet deep, but haven’t been found.
(Pre-Chorus)
I try to move, but the weight pulls me down,
A hollow voice in an empty town.
They say it gets better, just wait and see,
But I’ve been waiting—it’s swallowing me.
(Chorus)
I’m drowning in the silence, screaming for a sign,
Reaching out for someone, but they all walk by.
Every smile feels heavy, every laugh feels wrong,
I’m a ghost in the daylight, trying to hold on.
(Verse 3)
Mirror shows a stranger’s face,
Eyes are hollow, barely traced.
Memories fade like a dream too cold,
And all my colors turn to gray and old.
I write down words I’ll never say,
Rip them up, throw them away.
If I spoke, would they understand?
Or would they just say, “Get up and stand”?
(Verse 4)
People say, “You should reach for help,”
But I don’t even know how to save myself.
Every word feels trapped in my chest,
And the weight of the world just won’t let me rest.
I see the phone light up with names,
Friends who care, but it feels the same.
I wanna answer, wanna say I’m here,
But my hands won’t move, my mind’s unclear.
(Pre-Chorus)
I try to run, but my feet won’t move,
Every step I take just leads to the blues.
They say, “Just talk,” but my words feel small,
Like whispers lost in an endless hall.
(Chorus)
I’m drowning in the silence, screaming for a sign,
Reaching out for someone, but they all walk by.
Every smile feels heavy, every laugh feels wrong,
I’m a ghost in the daylight, trying to hold on.
(Bridge – Soft & Reflective)
If I disappear, would they notice at all?
Would they hear the echoes when I fall?
Maybe I’m just a passing storm,
A name they’ll forget when the sky turns warm.
But in the dark, a small light glows,
A fragile hope that slowly grows.
A whisper says, “Just one more night,”
A promise made to keep up the fight.
(Verse 5 – Rising Strength)
I hold on for the ones who care,
For the days that might feel a little less bare.
For the quiet hands that pull me back,
For the hope that hides in the deepest cracks.
Maybe healing is just a war,
A battle fought behind closed doors.
Maybe strength is not the loudest roar,
But a heartbeat whispering, “There’s something more.”
(Verse 6 – Fighting Back)
So I take a step, though my knees still shake,
And I breathe real deep though my chest might break.
The world still feels like it’s caving in,
But I won’t let the darkness win again.
