[Intro]
Yeah…
They only see the calm surface
They don’t see the storm working
⸻
[Verse 1]
Wake up exhausted, I barely slept
Thoughts running laps in a cage in my head
Heart like a match and it burns too fast
I love too deep but it never lasts
Mirror shows me a stranger’s stare
Same old body but I’m not in there
One day I’m solid, next day I crack
Build it up quick then I tear it back
If you don’t answer, my chest feels tight
Turn one small doubt to a full damn fight
You’re either angel or you’re a snake
No middle ground when my feelings shake
I say “don’t leave” then I close the door
Test your love like it’s war
Break my own trust just to see if you stay
Push you away then beg you to stay
⸻
[Hook]
It’s black and white in my mind tonight
No gray lines when I start to fight
I feel too heavy, I think too fast
Every good thing never seems to last
Hold me close but don’t come near
I crave your touch but I drown in fear
Screaming loud but without a sound
Lost in the highs when the lows hit ground
⸻
[Verse 2 – Story]
Small town pressure, big world dreams
Feel invisible in crowded scenes
Wanna be strong, respected, known
But I battle myself when I’m alone
Hundred ideas but I lose the flame
Start like fire, end in shame
People say “bro just stay focused”
Like my mind ain’t constantly loaded
I take one loss like the world just ends
Turn small cracks into broken bends
Anger sharp but the guilt cuts deeper
My own shadow the real grim reaper
I don’t hate you, I hate the fear
That you’ll disappear when I hold you near
So I build these walls so high, so wide
But I’m trapped with the storm inside
⸻
[Bridge – emotional peak]
Why I feel empty when love is close?
Why I see ghosts where there are none?
Why I burn bridges I need the most?
Why I run fast when I just want someone?
Scars don’t always live on skin
Some battles never let you win
I don’t want chaos, I just want calm
But peace feels strange in my own palm
⸻
[Hook]
It’s black and white in my mind tonight
No gray lines when I start to fight
I feel too heavy, I think too fast
Every good thing never seems to last
Hold me close but don’t come near
I crave your touch but I drown in fear
Screaming loud but without a sound
Lost in the highs when the lows hit ground
⸻
[Outro – subtle strength]
I’m not broken, I’m built from scars
I just feel everything too hard
Storm in my chest but I’m still here
Learning to fight without the fear
