(Verse 1 – Clean vocals)
I wake up in a war I never chose
Breathing in the silence, wearing all my ghosts
I smile in the mirror just to break the lie
But I’m cracking underneath, and I don’t know why
(Verse 2 – Rap style)
Another pill, another page I fold
Another secret I was too scared to hold
They say “you’re strong,” but they don’t see
The weight I drag that’s swallowing me
(Pre-Chorus – Clean vocals)
I scream but no one hears a sound
I’m reaching out, but I’m falling down
(Chorus – Soaring vocals)
I’m standing on the edge of the end
With no one left to call a friend
Tired of pretending that I’m fine
When every breath cuts like a knife
And I don’t know how to say
That I don’t wanna feel this way
If I fade tonight, will they even know?
Or will I just let go… let go…
(Verse 3 – Rap/screamed)
I’ve been screaming in static, drowning in doubt
Locking my demons inside just to shut them out
But they claw at the cage, they howl and bite
I’m losing the fight, night after night
(Bridge – Screamed vocals)
Don’t tell me to “hold on” when the rope burns
Don’t say “it gets better” while the world turns
I’ve heard all the lines, I’ve memorized the play
But none of it stops this slow decay
(Chorus – With heavier instrumentation)
I’m standing on the edge of the end
With no one left to call a friend
Tired of pretending that I’m fine
When every breath cuts like a knife
And I don’t know how to say
That I don’t wanna feel this way
If I fade tonight, will they even know?
Or will I just let go…
(Outro – Soft, fading vocals over piano/synth)
If I disappear into the dark
Would it leave a mark…
Or just be…
Another spark…
That burned out alone
