Wooden Floor & Quiet Though

…………

Verse 1

The house is breathing but I’m not

Just counting cracks in the wall

My name feels foreign in my mouth

Like it doesn’t fit at all

There’s a weight behind my eyes

That sleep can’t ever fix

I’ve been staring at the ceiling

Asking God for something to miss

Verse 2

My hands shake when I hold the truth

So I let it fall apart

I learned how to look okay

But not how to guard my heart

Every promise that I made

Sounds thinner when it’s said

I don’t trust the things I feel

Or the voice inside my head

Chorus

I’m tired of fighting myself

In the dark with the lights turned low

Every step feels wrong

No matter which way I go

If I’m honest, I’m scared

There’s nothing underneath

Just a hollow chest, a quiet room

And this guitar crying with me

Verse 3

I replay every little thing

Like it’s evidence of blame

I could disappear tonight

And nothing here would change

I wear my silence like a sin

I don’t know how to confess

That I’m not healing, I’m just hiding

In the shape of someone less

Chorus

I’m tired of fighting myself

With excuses I believe

I keep cutting all the light

Just to see what’s left of me

I don’t need saving

I just need relief

From the noise in my bones

And the doubt that never sleeps

Bridge

If hope is a flame

Mine’s barely alive

Flickering weak

Just enough to survive

I don’t dream anymore

I just try to get through

Another night alone

With the truth

Final Chorus

I’m still here, I guess

But I don’t know why

Every breath feels borrowed

Every smile’s a lie

If I fade into the morning

Like smoke in the air

Just know I stayed as long as I could

I really did care

Outro

The strings cut my fingers

But it keeps me awake

Pain feels real

When numbness won’t break
