Just for now

Verse 1:

I don’t sleep, I just drift through the noise,

Static in my mind, drowning out my voice.

They say “you’ll heal,” like it’s something you choose,

But pain doesn’t fade—it just finds new use.

Pre-Chorus:

I look in the mirror, don’t know who I see,

Same tired eyes, but they don’t look like me.

Smile on my face, but it’s stitched in tight,

Hiding the war I fight every night.

Chorus:

I’m tired of the silence, tired of the fight,

Every fake smile feels like a lie.

Tryna be strong, tryna hold on,

But this mask gets heavy before the dawn.

The demons come when the lights go down,

They whisper low, they circle around…

But I’m still here, still standin’ somehow—

Not for forever… just for now.

Verse 2:

The cold in my chest, it’s a hollow sound,

And my darker side keeps pulling me down.

I’ve thought of leaving, more than once,

But I think of their tears… and that’s enough.

Pre-Chorus:

I breathe through the fire, even when it hurts,

Every scar’s a page, every wound’s a verse.

Yeah, I’m cracked, but I’m still in the storm,

Numb to the pain, but I’ve weathered worse.

Chorus:

I’m tired of the silence, tired of the fight,

Every fake smile feels like a lie.

Tryna be strong, tryna hold on,

But this mask gets heavy before the dawn.

The demons come when the lights go down,

They whisper low, they circle around…

But I’m still here, still standin’ somehow—

Not for forever… just for now.

Bridge:

Thoughts run deep, like rivers in the dark,

Don’t ask permission—they just leave a mark.

And even when I’m empty, even when I fall,

I keep showin’ up… through it all.

Final Chorus:

No, I’m not askin’ for a sign,

Not lookin’ for a light to find…

I just need a reason to make it through tonight.
