Fallout

I wake up in the fallout,
Dust on my skin like I never belonged.
Walking through the chaos,
Feeling like the world keeps pulling me wrong.
Every step is heavy,
Like I’m dragging around a ghost of myself.
Something in the shadows
Keeps pushing my heartbeat off the shelf.

**I’m lost. I’m loud. I’m breaking.**
**I’m here. I’m gone. I’m shaking.**
Feels like somebody rewrote me—
And I’m done trying to fake it.

**CHORUS**
**I’m a puppet in a hurricane, spinning out of my own name.**
**Pull me down, pull me up—nothing ever feels the same.**
**I’m a runaway in my own head, fighting battles I never said.**
**If I’m alive, why do I feel undead?**
Tell me why I’m moving like I’m not even mine.

I keep hearing the thunder,
Like it’s calling out the parts I ignore.
Looking in the mirror,
Yeah, I swear I’ve never seen me before.
Every breath is borrowed,
Every thought is running loops in my skull.
Feels like something’s driving
And I’m just locked inside the hull.

**I’m lost. I’m loud. I’m breaking.**
**I’m here. I’m gone. I’m shaking.**
Feels like somebody rebuilt me—
And I’m done trying to fake it.

**CHORUS**
**I’m a puppet in a hurricane, spinning out of my own name.**
**Pull me down, pull me up—nothing ever feels the same.**
**I’m a runaway in my own head, fighting battles I never said.**
**If I’m alive, why do I feel undead?**
Tell me why I’m moving like I’m not even mine.

**BRIDGE**
Heartbeat wild like a warning sign,
Out of rhythm, out of line.
If this is me, then who am I?
If this is fate, then tell me why—

**FINAL CHORUS**
**I’m a puppet in a hurricane, spinning out of my own name.**
**Cut me loose, fill me up—let me feel something again.**
**I’m a runaway in my own head, fighting battles I never said.**
**If I’m alive, why do I feel undead?**
Tell me why I’m moving like I’m not even mine.
