Verse 1
I wake up, already worn thin,
Another day I fake my way in.
Static hums inside my head,
Every thought screams, I can’t tread.
I smile like I rehearsed it right,
But breaking in fluorescent light.
I’m here, but half-awake,
Running on fumes I can’t remake.
Pre-Chorus
It’s not that I don’t care —
I just ran out of air.
Every breath feels borrowed,
Every feeling’s hollowed.
Chorus
I’m on autopilot, skin on fire,
Burning out, but climbing higher.
Can’t slow down, can’t rewind,
Lost control, but I’m alive.
I’m not fine — just surviving,
Running empty, still driving.
Autopilot skin —
This is the state I’m living in.
Verse 2
People talk, but I fade to grey,
Their words dissolve, drift away.
I nod, pretend, I’m in the play,
But the script refuses to obey.
City lights blur like a dream,
I walk the streets, invisible it seems.
Muscle memory leads me home,
Body moves, but my mind’s gone.
Pre-Chorus
It’s not that I don’t care —
I just can’t find repair.
All the noise inside my brain
Feels like thunder with no rain.
Chorus
I’m on autopilot, skin on fire,
Burning out, but climbing higher.
Can’t slow down, can’t rewind,
Lost control, but I’m alive.
I’m not fine — just surviving,
Running empty, still driving.
Autopilot skin —
This is the state I’m living in.
Bridge
Every heartbeat out of tune,
Echoes in an empty room.
Maybe someday I’ll return,
When the static finally burns.
Till then, I’ll keep the engine on,
Pretend I still belong.
Breakdown / Shouted Hook
No, I’m not gone — I’m right here!
Just too tired to disappear.
If I crash, at least it’s mine,
This broken road, this blurry line.
Final Chorus
I’m on autopilot, skin on fire,
Fueling pain to build a pyre.
Can’t slow down, can’t rewind,
Lost control, but I’m alive.
I’m not fine — just surviving,
Heart still beats, defying, driving.
Autopilot skin —
I’m still breathing within.
Autopilot skin —
This is the state I’m living in.
