Prompt / Lyrics
I wake up already tired of breathing air Like every inhale’s just proof there’s nothing there Put my hand on my heart just to check for a beat But it’s quiet—like a grave buried under me I don’t feel sad, I don’t feel pain I just exist in a the in between Not alive enough to fight or break Just stuck in a body I can’t escape They ask me how I’ve been, I say “I’m doing great” Practice every word like it’s a scripted line If they saw the truth behind my empty eyes They’d hear silence screaming from the other side Cut me open, you won’t find a thing No pulse, no fire Just a hollow space where a soul should be An echo of who I was supposed to be I laugh on cue, keep the room alive While something in me quietly dies If I showed the truth, I’d make them blue So I bury it deeper… just to comfort you I don’t cry, I don’t break, I don’t even shake It’s like my body forgot how to ache And that’s the worst part—I wish it would hurt At least then I’d know I’m still in the dirt I look at my hands and they don’t feel mine Like I’m watching someone else’s life Every memory feels second-hand Like I’m fading out of who I am And I hate that I’m good at pretending I’m fine Got the timing, the tone, every scripted line I can joke, I can laugh, I can play the role While there’s nothing left behind my eyes at all If numbness had a sound, it’d be this silence A high-pitched ringing dressed up like compliance Like something’s screaming but it can’t get through Like I’m locked in a body I never grew into I tried to dig deep just to find a spark But I only found more layers of dark And now I’m scared if I peel it back— There was never a “me” to bring back If numbness had a sound, it’d be this silence A high-pitched ringing dressed up like compliance Like something’s screaming but it can’t get through Like I’m locked in a body I never grew into I tried to dig deep just to find a spark But I only found more layers of dark And now I’m scared if I peel it back— There was never a “me” to bring back If I disappeared, would they even know? Or just miss the version I put on show? I scream in silence, but it never bleeds Guess even my pain’s got no life in me
