Half-Awake

Verse 1

Half-awake at my own goodbye

Laugh it off like I’m still alive

Picture perfect while the cracks show through

twenty-one years in, missing what I knew

Pre-Chorus

Say I’m fine, yeah, I’m pretending

Everybody’s numb, I blend in

Feet give way, I’m going under

Voices in my head keep getting louder

Chorus

They say I’ll never be enough

Might as well just quit, give up

I tear myself apart on cue

Save you the trouble, I’ll do it too

You don’t gotta call me a mess

Hit mute on the doubt in my head

I don’t need a push to the edge

I’ll do it myself

Verse 2

Blue light burning through my eyes

Stopped mid-step by another sign

Stuck on replay, same old scene

Red-line thoughts, gasoline

Pre-Chorus 2

Play the villain, bite my tongue

Hands tied but I still swing one

Built these walls, I know the cost

Every night feels like a loss

Chorus

They say I’ll never be enough

Might as well just quit, give up

I break myself down on cue

Don’t need backup, I’ll do it too

You don’t gotta say I’m a wreck

I already know what’s next

I don’t need help losing my head

I’ll do it myself

Bridge

You say you’re born for the lights

I don’t think you’ll survive the night

You say you’re ready for war

I don’t think you want it anymore

Final Chorus

You don’t gotta call me a mess

I’ve been worse, I’ll confess

I don’t need a hand to fall apart

I’ll do it myself
