(Verse 1)
I wake up in a house that don’t feel like mine
Four walls, no voice, just the echo of time
The light creeps in like it’s scared of me
And I stare at the ceiling, too tired to breathe
(Pre-Chorus)
Every smile’s a disguise
Every day’s a steep climb
And I’m sick of pretending
That I’m doing just fine
(Chorus)
I’m walking through hollow rooms
Screaming but there’s no one who
Hears the thunder in my chest
Feels the weight I can’t confess
I’m dancing on the edge of night
Hoping I don’t slip this time
But some days it’s hard to choose
Between holding on and letting loose
(Verse 2)
My friends say they care, and I guess they do
But I lie like a pro — “Yeah, I’m good, how ‘bout you?”
I keep the pain in a paper cup
Sip it slow till it swallows me up
(Pre-Chorus)
I try to fight the flood
But my hands are made of dust
And I’m tired of begging
For a life I don’t trust
(Chorus)
I’m walking through hollow rooms
Screaming but there’s no one who
Hears the thunder in my chest
Feels the weight I can’t confess
I’m dancing on the edge of night
Hoping I don’t slip this time
But some days it’s hard to choose
Between holding on and letting loose
(Bridge)
If I disappear, would the silence speak?
Would the echoes mourn the ghost of me?
Or would it all just fade, like smoke in rain?
Another name lost to the ache again
(Chorus – stripped version)
I’m walking through hollow rooms
Hoping someone’s listening soon
There’s a war behind my eyes
That I’ve fought a thousand times
I’m dancing on the edge of night
Wishing just one spark would light
The darkness I’m dragging through
Still praying I don’t come unglued
(Outro)
But I’m still here,
Even if I don’t know why
I’m still breathing
Even when I wanna die
