[Intro]
Yeah…
I don’t know if I’m up or just stuck, uh…
Can you hear me through this static?
[Verse 1]
Shadows on the ceiling, whisper in my ear
Tell me I’m alone, but I’ve been feelin’ it for years
Told myself I’d sleep, but I just stare at the fear
Clock tickin’ slow like it knows what’s near
I got these ghosts in my phone, they call me at night
But I don’t answer, I’m tryna block out the light
Put my hoodie on, but it don’t fit right
Got no warmth left, just the chill of the fight
[Hook]
Shadows on the ceiling, playin’ with my mind (yeah)
I been here for hours, don’t know where I find time (find time)
Got the world in my hands, but I can’t make it mine (no)
Sleepin’ with my demons, they always on my line (on my line)
[Verse 2]
Flicker of the screen, I’m stuck in this haze
Thought I had a chance, but I’m walkin’ through the maze
My heart beats slow, but my mind’s in a daze
Can’t outrun the thoughts, they just change their phase
I stare at my reflection, it don’t look the same
Once I felt alive, now it’s just dead weight and pain
I keep on pullin’ at the strings, but they break in vain
Nothin’ left to say, but I still scream your name
[Hook]
Shadows on the ceiling, playin’ with my mind (yeah)
I been here for hours, don’t know where I find time (find time)
Got the world in my hands, but I can’t make it mine (no)
Sleepin’ with my demons, they always on my line (on my line)
[Bridge]
I don’t wanna leave this room, it feels like home
But it’s cold as hell and I’m stuck alone
Playin’ songs in my head, but they all sound wrong
Feelin’ like I’ve been dead, but I’m still holdin' on
[Final Hook]
Shadows on the ceiling, playin’ with my mind (playin’)
I been here for hours, don’t know where I find time (find time)
Got the world in my hands, but I can’t make it mine (make it mine)
Sleepin’ with my demons, they always on my line (always on my line)
[Outro – Soft, fading]
Yeah, yeah, shadows...
I can’t escape you, can I?
