[VERSE 1]
This hell is real
Chains rattle as I walk through the fire
The walls enclosed around the mind
You have no voice nothing comes out
Nothing to say no way to put into words
Pulling in a hundred directions
This maze there is no way out
It has no exit sign for the weak
The mind is a dangerous disastrous welfare
Bring me to my knees over and over again
[PRE-CHORUS]
We plead for a way out
A way to feel
Anything but the torment inside
Or outside we cannot deny
Imaginary physical pain is real life battle in itself
These veins chained locked up for a lifetime
Gasping for a breath inside these lies
Air we cannot gather in sight
The devil forever holds your soul
It's true what they say when you sell your soul
To the devil...
There's no way out no way of escaping
What once was pure innocence
I wish it to be a lie every waking day
[VERSE 2]
The cards don't just change when u gamble
The judge doesn't sleep when your in denial
The ghost forever haunts the wellbeing
The girl who wanted to die a way out
It's a suffering battle
Voices don't shut up for the weak
For the brain that manic is more truer than not
Let's be honest
These chains forever lock inside words that cannot come out
It may be better that way
In the end
Who do we truly need to be anyways
[BRIDGE - QUIET BUILD]
Smoke in the hallway and the lights won't flicker
Footsteps echo but no one is coming
Every door I open leads back to the same room
Same mirror same face same chains getting tighter
I learned to count the cracks in the ceiling
Learned to name every ghost that sleeps in the walls
They know my middle name they know my weak spot
They whisper when the night gets heavy
Learned to leave the light on for the girl I was before
Learned that surviving ain't pretty it is loud and messy
[BREAKDOWN]
Damaged doesn't fix broken
Damage lets you know your alive against your will
On the daily
Right
Let's be honest
It's a one day at a time gamble
Nothing more
Forever counting up or down
Whichever makes the most sense
It will forever be the judge
Who are you judging you monster
It's me I'm my only judge
The ghost can haunt me for a lifetime
Make a friend of it they won't know what to do next
[FINAL VERSE - RECLAIM / LOUD]
The girl realized all the voices had a voice after all
She stopped running from the noise in the attic
Started answering back with a hammer in her hand
You can scream at the top of your lunges
Shut the fuck up
It's my time
My time to shine
I am at war on the daily
But never once looked back at what's in the past
I carry the fire I walked through inside my chest now
Not to burn me down but to light the exit I carved myself
With shaking hands with borrowed breath

Just breathe
Just breathe
Just breathe till the chains go quiet
Just breathe till the ghost learns your name
