Oooh
oooh
I pray
(prayed to shadows)
[Verse Down / Cold]
Just another thing I fake
Been smiling like I’m healed
Still sleeping with the lights on
Tryna drown what I still feel
Built a house out of my doubt
And called it a home
I walk through rooms that don’t exist
Of a life I missed alone
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been holding my breath
And I forgot how it feels
To let the truth be so wrong
And just let it all heal
( let it all heal)
[Chorus Dark, honest]
I don’t think I’ll survive the sound
When the silence gets too loud
(Too loud)
I say I’m stronger than I look
But I learned to shut my mouth
( shut my mouth)
All these secrets in my chest
Tryna claw their way out
( way out)
Every breath’s a scream I hide
And every heartbeat is a lie
(Its Just a lie)
Just a lie
Its just a lie
[Verse Slightly brighter, aware]
Been chasing who I was
Before I disappeared
Buried things I couldn’t fix
called it strength all these years
I trace the scars I never earned
Feel the fire that never burned
Hear the world in slow decay
But I’m still standing here today
( still standing here today)
[Pre-Chorus Shift begins]
Maybe breaking is the way
I finally feel alive ( feel alive)
[Chorus Lift, not full light yet]
I don’t think I’ll survive the sound
But I’m standing here right now
( right now)
I’m still stronger than I look
Even when I break it down
(Break it down)
All these secrets in my chest
I don’t have to drown them out
( drown the out)
Every breath still hurts to take
But I’m learning how to stay
(To stay)
[Bridge Dark,Hope]
I’ve prayed to shadows, begged the night
To hold me tight or let me die
Let the silence swallow me whole
Let the darkness carve my soul
No savior comes, no hand to hold
Just cold reality, bitter and old
( cold bitter and old)
[Outro / Final Lift quiet hope]
But maybe fire leaves a spark
Even in the coldest dark
I’ll lift my hands, I’ll try to see
A little light inside of me
If you reach for me, I’ll hold on
Too far gone?
Not for long
(Not for long)
Not for long
