It’s always quiet when I need the noise
Like I’m screaming but I’ve lost my voice
I’ve been stuck here, spinning in a cage
Building a future on a blank, torn page
Every step I take just breaks the ground
I try to rise, but I just sink down
And it’s a goddamn curse to feel this way
But I carry it with me every day
I break everything I try to hold
Love slips right through like it’s too bold
To ever land in hands like mine
Too stained, too slow, too out of time
No fire, just smoke in my chest
No peace, no sleep, just unrest
How can I heal when I don’t believe
That there’s anything good left in me?
⸻
Chorus:
I’m tired of being the weight I drag
Of patching cracks in dreams I never had
And I don’t think I’ll ever be enough
For love, for hope, for anything but dust
Tell me — why does everything I touch
Turn to rust?
⸻
Verse 2:
I’ve got mirrors that refuse to lie
And they show me every try
That ended in nothing, again and again
Like I’m writing apologies in inkless pens
I’m not living — I’m just holding on
To a version of me that’s long been gone
I want to feel something real again
But I don’t even know where to begin
⸻
Bridge:
If I bleed out in silence, will anyone see?
Would they notice the ghost that used to be me?
I smile just enough to keep them away
But inside, I’m screaming, wasting away
⸻
Chorus (repeat):
I’m tired of being the weight I drag
Of patching cracks in dreams I never had
And I don’t think I’ll ever be enough
For love, for hope, for anything but dust
Tell me — why does everything I touch
Turn to rust?
⸻
Outro:
I don’t want to fade, but I don’t know how to shine
When all I’ve ever known is falling behind
So I sit here in the dark with empty hands
Waiting to understand…
If I’ll ever be worth the light again.
