I keep it locked up tight
Behind my teeth all day
They ask me what is wrong
Then turn and walk away
I get called a liar
For the fire in my head
But they never see the damage
When the room goes red
I’m tired of the pressure
Tired of holding back
Every word I swallowed
Turns to stone in the black
You don’t hear the thunder
Till it hits your door
I’ve been breaking silent
Now I can’t ignore
Dark path incoming
I’m still standing
Dark path incoming
I’m not vanishing
Call me broken
I call it surviving
Dark path incoming
But I keep fighting
No one wants the truth
When it cuts too close
They want a clean version
Of a life that ghosts
My head runs wild some nights
And it scares me too
But I’m done with the face I wear
Just to fit for you
I’m tired of the pressure
Tired of holding back
Every word I swallowed
Turns to stone in the black
You don’t hear the thunder
Till it hits your door
I’ve been breaking silent
Now I can’t ignore
Dark path incoming
I’m still standing
Dark path incoming
I’m not vanishing
Call me broken
I call it surviving
Dark path incoming
But I keep fighting
If I shake, let me shake
If I burn, let me burn
I’ve been pushed to the edge
Now it’s my turn
No more masks
No more lies
I’m still here
In these eyes
Dark path incoming
I’m still standing
Dark path incoming
I’m not vanishing
Call me broken
I call it surviving
Dark path incoming
And I keep fighting
Dark path incoming
I won’t be denied
Dark path incoming
I’m alive inside
