Haunted Circles

[VERSE 1]
I’m staring at the ceiling, mind racing fast
These voices in my head, shadows from my past
I scream at the silence, it doesn’t answer back
I’ve been running from myself, caught in every trap
Tried to fake a smile, tried to play the part
But the weight of all my demons is tearing me apart
Every mirror shows a stranger staring right through
Every step I take feels like I’m breaking in two

[PRE-CHORUS]
I’m screaming, I’m bleeding, no one really cares
Trapped in my own mind, gasping for air
I’m lost, I’m confused, fighting every day
But these chains on my soul won’t let me break away

[CHORUS]
I’m holding onto nothing, it’s slipping fast
Every scar is a shadow from my past
I’m searching for light, but it’s hard to find
Walking through fire with fear in my mind
I’m running in circles, haunted by mistakes
Every choice I’ve made, another heart it breaks
I’m shaking, I’m falling, barely alive
And I don’t know if I’ll make it out this time

[VERSE 2]
People say “you’re fine,” like they know my pain
But I’m drowning in the chaos, trapped in my brain
Counting every loss, replaying every fight
Everything I’ve done just keeps me up at night
Demons in my closet, screaming to be free
I slam every door, but they keep chasing me
I wear my anger like armor, pain in my disguise
The tears in my eyes, they’re hidden from your eyes

[BRIDGE]
Maybe one day I’ll wake up and feel clean
Maybe one day I’ll escape this machine
But until then I’m breaking, shaking, unsure
Trying to stand up when I can’t feel the floor
Screaming at the sky, hoping someone sees
All the pain, all the fear, all the memories

[CHORUS / OUTRO]
I’m holding onto nothing, it’s slipping fast
Every scar is a shadow from my past
I’m searching for light, but it’s hard to find
Walking through fire with fear in my mind
I’m running in circles, haunted by mistakes
Every choice I’ve made, another heart it breaks
I’m shaking, I’m falling, barely alive
And I don’t know if I’ll make it out this time
