While my body Breaks

[Verse 1]
Nights stretch long like a spell gone wrong,
Body keeps glitching like a record on the wrong song.
Every sunrise feels like a dare I didn’t take,
Another round of shaking hands and nerves that quake.

[Pre-Chorus]
People say “rest up,” but rest ever works,
Like this mess of symptoms doesn’t twist and jerk.
I hate the way I keep slowing the march,
Like I’m dead weight hanging from a fragile arch.

[Chorus]
These hollow hours keep swallowing me whole,
Dragging their fingers through my soul.
I’m tired of feeling like someone’s chore,
Tired of thinking I’m nothing but trouble at the door.
But I’m still holding on through the ache,
Trying to stand while my body breaks.

[Verse 2]
Skies inside my head always rumble dark,
Lightning in my nerves leaves a burning mark.
I miss the days when I moved with ease,
When living didn’t feel like begging my body “please.”

[Pre-Chorus]
Every apology tastes like rust in my mouth,
For things I can’t control, filled with doubt.
Still I keep pushing through every hit,
Because I can't give in, I can't just quit.

[Chorus]
These hollow hours keep swallowing me whole,
Dragging their fingers through my soul.
I’m tired of feeling like someone’s chore,
Tired of thinking I’m nothing but trouble at the door.
But I’m still holding on through the ache,
Trying to stand while my body breaks.

[Bridge]
Maybe someday I’ll wake without fire,
No invisible storms, no tightening wire.
Until then I’ll breathe through every crack,
Swearing I’m more than what’s holding me back.

[Final Chorus]
These hollow hours don’t get the final say,
I’m still rising in my uneven way.
Even when the world knocks me off track,
I’m not a burden—I’m fighting back.
Holding on through the ache,
Standing tall even when I shake.
