I want to fight, but I’m hollow
A ghost wearing yesterday’s skin
My hands won’t move, my voice is gone
I cave in from within
I’m sorry that I couldn’t be
The warrior they all see
I’ve been breaking quietly
While screaming underneath
I wish I was thunder
But I’m barely a breath
I’m not even fading
I’m already death
Walking in daylight, no one can tell
I’ve been dying alone inside this shell
We’re fal-ling
Into a silence that burns
Where even my echoes
Don’t bother to return
I’ve drowned so deep
I can’t feel the pain
Only numbness now
Flowing through my veins
But maybe this song
This curse inside of me
Will find someone else
Before they cease to be
Even if it couldn’t save me…
Maybe it can save you
There’s a scream stitched into every smile
A grave beneath my bed
I talk to the ceiling
While monsters live inside my head
Every “I’m fine” is a lie I wear
A disguise sewn from despair
No one notices the way I bleed
When it’s all happening silently
I wish I was light
But I’m only the void
A soul unraveling
Quietly destroyed
They say “you’ll be okay,”
But they don’t see
The way I disappear from me
We’re fal-ling
Into the dark with no floor
I’ve begged the night
To hold me no more
I’ve drowned so long
There’s no fight left
Just quiet thoughts
Of eternal rest
But maybe this song
This last breath I breathe
Can reach someone else
Before they choose to leave
Even if it couldn’t save me…
Maybe it can save you
If your heart is a warzone
If your hope’s grown cold
If your smile’s just armor
And the silence takes hold
Please—
Don’t go where I went
Don’t fade like I did
There’s light in the ruins
You don’t have to give in
We’re fal-ling
But maybe there’s still time
Even a cracked voice
Can break the climb
So take this song
My shadow, my truth
I couldn’t save myself…
But maybe it saves you
