Verse 1)
Alarm clock ringing but I’m already awake
Didn’t really sleep, just drifted in the ache
Coffee going cold on the counter again
Another long day I don’t wanna begin
Mirror on the wall got nothing to say
Just a tired face trying to look okay
Smile for the world like I’m good and fine
Then shut down slow when I’m left with mine
Messages read but I don’t reply
Hard to explain what I can’t define
It’s like I’m here but I’m somewhere else
Living in my head, stuck with myself
People say, “You just need time”
Like time rewinds what’s lost in your mind
But time just stretches out the pain
Makes the quiet feel insane
(Pre-Chorus)
Every day feels the same
Different sky, same rain
Try to run from the weight
But it follows my name
(Hook)
Daylight slips through my blinds, I feel hollow
Empty room, quiet walls, hard to swallow
Every breath feel borrowed
Like I’m here but I’m not though
Moonlight paints the skyline, I feel sorrow
City shining bright but my heart don’t follow
Wide awake with the throttle
Of a mind I can’t bottle
(Verse 2)
Late night scrolling through old memories
Wondering who I was meant to be
Every dream feels far from reach
Like hope speaks but I can’t hear speech
I got friends, yeah, I got support
But there’s battles you fight you can’t report
Some wounds don’t bleed, they sit inside
And smile while they slowly divide
I used to laugh without thinking twice
Now everything’s weighed with a price
Even good days feel fragile
Like happiness comes with survival
I don’t want pity, don’t want applause
Just want peace without the pause
Just want one night of quiet air
Where my chest don’t feel so bare
(Bridge – stripped down)
If I disappeared for a while
Would the world move on?
Would the sun still rise
Like nothing’s wrong?
I’m not asking for saving
Just something steady and true
A reason to wake up
And feel something new
(Final Hook – bigger, more emotional)
Daylight slips through my blinds, I feel hollow
Empty room, quiet walls, hard to swallow
Every breath feel borrowed
Like I’m here but I’m not though
Moonlight paints the skyline, I feel sorrow
City shining bright but my heart don’t follow
Wide awake with the throttle
Of a mind I can’t bottle
