[Verse 1]
Yeah I wake up in a chokehold
Same four walls, same solo
Stare so hard at the ceiling
I can see cracks crawl, feel it peeling
Every text left on read like a tombstone
Scroll, scroll, every friend like a ghost phone
Talk tough but my hands won’t stop shaking
Whole life feels like it’s faking
[Pre-Chorus]
Heart race, can’t breathe, can’t slow it
Tied tight in the knot and you know it
If I vanish in the background noise
Would you hear, would you hear my voice?
[Chorus]
I’m at the end of my rope (end of my rope)
But I won’t let go (won’t let go)
I’m hanging on hope, yeah, thread by thread
But I’m not dead yet, I’m not dead yet (hey!)
World feels cold and closed (so closed)
I’m blistered, bruised, exposed
I’m at the end of my rope, yeah, burned and frayed
But I won’t fade, I won’t fade away
[Verse 2]
Thoughts race like a runaway freight train
Every “you okay?” gets the same fake “yeah I’m fine” refrain
Got scars I don’t post, they don’t trend
Got fears I don’t show to my friends
Every mirror like an enemy, stares back
Every compliment slides off, falls flat
But deep in the dark there’s a spark I guard
Tiny little light in a busted-up heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Heart race, can’t breathe, can’t slow it
Tied tight in the knot and I know it
If I’m screaming in a soundproof room
Will you break down the walls, cut through?
[Chorus]
I’m at the end of my rope (end of my rope)
But I won’t let go (won’t let go)
I’m hanging on hope, yeah, thread by thread
But I’m not dead yet, I’m not dead yet (woo!)
World feels cold and closed (so closed)
I’m blistered, bruised, exposed
I’m at the end of my rope, yeah, burned and frayed
But I won’t fade, I won’t fade away
[Bridge]
[Chant – call/response, speed up]
Cut it down!
(We cut it down!)
From the tree!
(From the tree!)
I still breathe!
(I still breathe!)
I still bleed!
(I still bleed!)
Not your shame!
(Not your shame!)
Not your blame!
(Not your blame!)
Say my name!
(Say my name!)
I remain!
(I remain!)
[Chorus]
I’m at the end of my rope (end of my rope)
But I won’t let go (won’t let go)
I’m hanging on hope, yeah, thread by thread
But I’m not dead yet, I’m not dead yet (not yet!)
World feels cold and closed (so closed)
I’m blistered, bruised, exposed
I’m at the end of my rope, yeah, burned and frayed
But I won’t fade, I won’t fade away
[Chant – Outro]
(end of my rope)
But I won’t let go
(end of my rope)
But I won’t let go
(we won’t let go, we won’t let go)
