Driftwood

(Verse 1)

I’m staring at the ceiling, it’s 2 a.m. again,

The weight of all my choices is sinking in my skin.

I’m chasing ghosts of summers where we felt alive,

But now I’m stuck in neutral, just trying to survive.

The radio’s too quiet, my heart’s too loud,

I’m screaming at the static, but it drowns me out.

(Pre-Chorus)

I’m tethered to the shoreline, but I’m breaking free,

The waves keep pulling harder, they’re calling out to me.

(Chorus)

Wanna run, wanna catch the tide,

But my soul’s too tired to keep up with the ride.

The world’s a storm, and I’m just driftwood now,

Tryna find a reason, but I don’t know how.

(Verse 2)

I’ve got a map of memories, but the lines all fade,

Every step I take feels like a debt unpaid.

The skyline’s burning crimson, it’s mocking me,

Says, “Kid, you’ll never be who you’re dying to be.”

So I kick the sand, let the ocean scream,

I’m caught between the real and a half-dead dream.

(Pre-Chorus)

I’m tethered to the shoreline, but I’m breaking free,

The waves keep pulling harder, they’re calling out to me.

(Chorus)

Wanna run, wanna catch the tide,

But my soul’s too tired to keep up with the ride.

The world’s a storm, and I’m just driftwood now,

Tryna find a reason, but I don’t know how.

(Bridge)

So let the current take me, I’m done with holding on,

I’ll float until the stars burn out or ‘til I’m gone.

Every scar’s a story, every bruise a fight,

I’m searching for the daylight in the dead of night.

(Whoa-oh-oh) I’m not waving, I’m drowning,

(Whoa-oh-oh) But I’ll keep on shouting.

(Chorus)

Wanna run, wanna catch the tide,

But my soul’s too tired to keep up with the ride.

The world’s a storm, and I’m just driftwood now,

Tryna find a reason, but I don’t know how.
