[Verse 1]
Alarm screams first
Then my head
Same old mirror
Same old dread
Stacked-up chances
Rotting on the shelf
Everybody passing
I’m pinned to myself
Teeth on edge
Chewed-up pride
Smile like rust
Rotting inside
[Chorus]
I keep grinding my own bones
Just to feel like I deserve this
Every breath a borrowed loan
Every step another verdict
If there’s a crown
It’s made of shame and nails
I am the weight
I am the way I fail
[Verse 2]
Hands start shaking
Clock runs fast
Tiny victories
Never last
Scroll through faces
All those perfect lies
Turn their highlight reels
Into knives
Swallow glass
Call it hope
Tie my worth
To a fraying rope
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] Drag my name through gravel
Let it scrape
Let it scar
If I’m nothing
Say it louder
Carve it deep across my arms [crowd gang shouts]
I am not your hero
I can barely stand myself
Still I scream into the dark
Daring it to answer back
[Chorus]
