[Intro]
Breathing in shards
Air feels heavy
Thick
Clock on the wall
Won’t even tick
[Verse 1]
Hands on the table
But the room tilts sideways
Glass on the edge
Living on the edge of my ways
Tasting the metal
On the back of my tongue
Heart like a warning
I’ve been coming undone
[Pre-Chorus]
Words in my mouth
But they all freeze
Something inside
Drops to its knees
I’m right here
But I’m not in control
Losing the handle
On my own soul
[Chorus]
Lost control in the silence
Right before the crash
Every hidden wound
Lighting up in the flash
I fall
I fall
Through my own dark sky
Lost control in the silence
Didn’t even say goodbye
[Verse 2]
Light in the hallway
Flickers
Then fades
Hope in a suitcase
Left on the train
I pull at the seams
Of the mask that I wear
Tear through the lining
Find nothing there
[Beat switch]
[low vocal register]
Tempo drops slow
Like my pulse in my chest
I’m stuck in the echo
Of all I suppressed
My thoughts start to stutter
Like broken machines
I claw at the air
Between the screams
[Pre-Chorus]
Breath on a wire
Ready to snap
Faith on a timer
Running its laps
I hear every memory
Scratch at the door
I can’t hold them
Anymore
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
[crescendo]
I’m spiraling
Spiraling
Circles in black
I’m begging for something
To pull me back
Hands in the dark
Reaching for mine
But I keep slipping
Between the lines
[Moment of silence]
[all instruments drop out]
[Bridge]
Then the drop hits
Like the floor giving way (way)
All my quiet storms
Ripping into day
I break
I break
But it feels like release
Pain in the open
Strangely like peace
[Chorus]
