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

Sad, dark, acoustic
