Living In My Skull

Mm

Can’t turn it down

No, I can’t turn it down

You took your coat, took your keys

Left a dent in the couch next to me

I cleared the room, aired the place

But your shadow still knows my face

I threw away all the proof

Every photo, every excuse

But my mind keeps the worst souvenirs

Plays them back like you’re still here

Talking to myself in fragments

Your voice slips through the cracks and

I don’t know where you end and I begin

Palms on the counter, breathing

Heart keeps pulling me deeper

Like it’s safer to lose than win

You’re living in my skull

Like a hook I can’t escape

Still looping that moment

I wish I could erase

I tear at the noise

Try to shut you out

But you’re written in the language

Of every single doubt

You’re living in my skull

You’re living in my skull

Can’t forget you, can’t forget you

God, it’s wearing me down

You said love’s just a phase

Guess I stayed for the ache

Now your name tastes sharp

Every time I speak

I swear I’m fine, I’m good

But my body still misunderstood

Every promise I swore was dead

Still wakes me up inside my head

Room so quiet it’s screaming

I replay what you didn’t mean and

Still somehow blame myself

I tell my heart “be reasonable”

But it’s feral, it’s breakable

And it wants what’s bad for my health

You’re living in my skull

Like a hook I can’t escape

Still looping that moment

I wish I could erase

I tear at the noise

Try to shut you out

But you’re written in the language

Of every single doubt

You’re living in my skull

You’re living in my skull

Can’t forget you, can’t forget you

God, it’s wearing me down

If I silence your name

Do I lose my voice too?

If I burn every memory

What survives the truth?

You carved your shape in my bones

Now I don’t know what’s mine

I’m scared if I heal

I’ll leave myself behind

(drop—bass heavy, distant guitars breathing)

You’re living in my skull

Like a curse dressed as fate

Still loving the damage

Even knowing the taste

I beat on the walls

Begging you out

But you’re stitched in the pattern

Of every single doubt

You’re living in my skull

You’re living in my skull

Can’t forget you, can’t forget you

Maybe that’s the point

Mm

Maybe that’s the point

Still living in my skull
