[Intro]
[Soft, melancholic piano chords fading into a heavy, slow guitar riff and pounding drums]
[Verse 1]
A chilling current underneath my skin.
I’m screaming silence, letting nothing in.
You see the wrapping, the façade I wear.
A fleeting moment, a breath of air.
I try to show you what’s beating in my chest.
but you refuse to put the thought to the test.
Just a possession, a whisper in the night.
Tell me, where did I go wrong?
Where did I lose the fight?
[Pre-Chorus]
I am more than the curves you memorize.
There is a depth hidden behind these eyes.
A silent current, a river running deep.
All the promises that you never keep.
[Chorus]
When is it my turn? To feel the sun on my face.
To find a reason that’s not just chasing a trace.
When is it my turn? To be held and be real.
To get a shot of the happiness I long to feel.
[Slow vocals]
All I ever asked for was for you to look past the edge...
To see the love I’m clinging to on this broken ledge...
but the only constant you ever give me is pain...
Am I just temporary?
Left out in the falling rain?
[Verse 2 slow vocals]
I could hold your whole world, in my hand.
If you could only stop and try to understand.
The well of feeling, the loyalty I possess.
but you stay blinded by the need to transgress.
I open up my soul, a wound you pick and prod.
I pray for mercy, but only meet your cold nod.
You take the warmth, then leave me shattered and cold.
A tragic, beautiful story that will never be told.
[Chorus]
When is it my turn? To feel the sun on my face.
To find a reason that’s not just chasing a trace.
When is it my turn? To be held and be real.
To get a shot of the happiness I long to feel.
[Slow vocals]
All I ever asked for was for you to look past the edge...
To see the love I’m clinging to on this broken ledge...
but the only constant you ever give me is pain.
Am I just temporary?
Left out in the falling rain?
[Bridge]
[Music softens, piano and a soaring, heavily-reverbed lead vocal]
I hold so much, so much I keep inside...
but you only see the shallow tide.
I have feelings too, you cannot dismiss...
Just one pure moment, one simple, honest kiss...
but every time, I'm just the pause before you leave...
The echo of a lie that I still believe...
[Soft, melancholic piano chords fading into a heavy, slow guitar riff and pounding drums]
I'm just temporary, all i feel is pain.
you left me in the dark and the pouring rain...
The voices in my head tell me to scream.
Then maybe you'll see there's more to me...
but I can't, I just keep it inside...
When the whispers set in and tell me it's better if I let it all die.
Because I'm only going to bleed the more I try...
[Outro]
[Heavy distortion kicks back in for one final, crashing chord, followed by the lone, sustained sound of the piano chord from the intro, slowly fading to silence.]
When is it my turn?...
