Cold pavement memories, a ghost on the street
Walking through the fire with no shoes on my feet
I was broken till the numbness was the only thing felt
Playing every losing hand that I was ever dealt
Reached for the dial, but the line stayed dead
Just a hollow silence ringing inside of my head
Alone in the wreckage, alone in the rain
With no one to witness the weight of the pain.
(Chorus)
And I turned to the sky, but the sky didn't speak
I prayed until my lungs and my spirit were weak
Just a deafening silence, like He’s laughing at the cost
While I’m trapped on this earth, forgotten and lost
Why am I so different? Why was He never there?
Just an invisible soul in a world that don't care.
(Verse 2)
Blood is supposed to be thicker, but mine was just cold
With a family of judges for a story untold
So I locked every door and I buried the key
Because keeping it inside was the safest for me
No shadow to shield me, no hand for the grip
Just watching the mask and the sanity slip
You can’t see a person when they’re made out of glass
Just a shadow that people ignore as they pass.
(Chorus)
Yeah, I turned to the sky, but the sky didn't speak
I prayed until my lungs and my spirit were weak
Just a deafening silence, like He’s laughing at the cost
While I’m trapped on this earth, forgotten and lost
Why am I so different? Why was He never there?
Just an invisible soul in a world that don't care.
(Bridge)
But there’s no use in living in the ghost of the past
The scars are just proof that the lessons will last
I don’t need a miracle, I don’t need a sign
I just need a moment where a heart meets mine
Someone to sit in the quiet and hear
The things that I’ve carried for year after year.
(Chorus)
And I turned to the sky, but the sky didn't speak
I prayed until my lungs and my spirit were weak
Just a deafening silence, like He’s laughing at the cost
While I’m trapped on this earth, forgotten and lost
Why am I so different? Why was He never there?
Just an invisible soul in a world that don't care.
(Outro)
My life was a war zone, a long, bitter climb
But I fought for my breath one inch at a time
I’m proud of the heartbeat that refused to stop
I’m proud of the climb from the floor to the top
I pushed through the silence, I pushed through the lie
And I’m still standing under this empty sky.
(Still standing... I'm still here.)
