Empty

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.
