[Verse 1]
Woke up with my teeth on edge
Bite marks in another dream
Coffee tastes like metal dust
Phone light burning holes in me
Books on the floor
All spines
No stories
Plants in the window
Still reaching
I’m not
[Chorus]
I’m losing hope
Like blood in the shower drain
Round and round
Till it’s gone
Till it’s gray
I’m losing hope
Can’t feel the fire I had
Say it soft
Say it slow
Till the words turn to ash
[Verse 2]
Friends talk in a different tongue
I just nod and watch their lips
Jokes land like a paperweight
On a table that always tips
Took down all the posters
Left the nail marks in the wall
Used to dream in bright slow motion
Now it’s one long static crawl
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Tried prayer
Tried pills
Tried late-night calls
Tried lists on the mirror
“today don’t fall”
Tried walking it off in the freezing rain
But the sky looks tired
And it feels the same
[guitar swells
Strings rising]
If there’s a hand
It’s hiding in the dark
If there’s a sign
It missed its mark
[Chorus]
[Outro]
[half-time
Crushing]
Gravity weighs a ton
On a heart this thin
If tomorrow doesn’t come
Would it notice I was in?
One deep breath
Then another
Then none
Lie back in the quiet
Let the daylight run
