Prompt / Lyrics
………… 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
