[Verse 1]
Bedroom walls
Count the scars I never show
Empty eyes
In the glass that hates to glow
Every night
Same war in a smaller room
Every thought
Another way to bloom in doom
[Chorus]
I’m alone with the echoes in my head
Every voice says I’m better off dead
But I’m still here
Clinging to the thread
Screaming back at the echoes in my head (in my head)
[Verse 2]
Soft hiss
From the mouth I cannot see
“Worthless”
Like a curse it gifts to me
I press nails
Through my palms to feel a truth
Any pain
Just to drown out what it proves
[Chorus]
I’m alone with the echoes in my head
Every voice says I’m better off dead
But I’m still here
Clinging to the thread
Screaming back at the echoes in my head (in my head)
[Bridge]
[Guitars drop out
Distant choir swells]
“Fall asleep
Don’t wake up” they chant my name
(shut up, shut up)
I’m not ready to erase my flame
If I bleed
Let it carve this into stone
“I was here
Even when I felt alone” (alone)
[Chorus]
I’m alone with the echoes in my head
Every voice says I’m better off dead
But I’m still here
Screaming at the dread
Till my own voice drowns the echoes in my head
[Outro]
One breath
One step on the burning floor
If I stay
I might see what this hurt was for
Hold tight
To the hand you haven’t met yet
Somewhere
Someone needs you to live through this regret
