[Intro]
(Slow heavy bassline, dark piano, rain sounds)
Yeah...
Just drowning in the silence.
[Verse 1]
Three in the morning, and the sleep won't come,
Staring at the ceiling till my mind goes numb.
Dark circles on my face, yeah, they tell the truth,
Burning out slow, losing all my youth.
Room is freezing cold, shadows in my brain,
Look inside the mirror, but it's not the same.
Body feeling heavy, head is spinning 'round,
My soul is in pieces, bleeding on the ground.
[Pre-Chorus]
They tell me I'm alive, but they don't know the hell,
Trapped inside this room, locked inside my cell.
Trading in my heart for this high instead...
[Chorus]
So I pour it up, numb the pain, stepping on the gas,
Searching for a feeling that was never meant to last.
The smoke, the pills, the poison in my veins,
Just a temporary shelter from the pouring rain.
Wanted somewhere safe where I wouldn't have to feel,
Trying to erase the guilt, trying not to heal.
But this dark trip took me further off the track,
Tried to fly away, and now I can't come back.
[Verse 2]
They said the bike shattered on the street,
Said I went flying, knocked right off my feet.
But looking in my mind, there's nothing left to find,
An empty, erased tape that I can't rewind.
Didn't see the fall, didn't hear the tires scream,
Woke up in a bed inside a nightmare dream.
Stole my whole life in the blinking of an eye,
Ever since that day, I've been so damn high.
[Chorus]
So I pour it up, numb the pain, stepping on the gas,
Searching for a feeling that was never meant to last.
The smoke, the pills, the poison in my veins,
Just a temporary shelter from the pouring rain.
Wanted somewhere safe where I wouldn't have to feel,
Trying to erase the guilt, trying not to heal.
But this dark trip took me further off the track,
Tried to fly away, and now I can't come back.
[Bridge]
Sometimes I beg the stars to bring my memory back,
To understand the moment that it all went black.
They clipped my wings without a warning sound,
From touching the clouds, straight into the ground.
[Chorus]
So I pour it up, numb the pain, stepping on the gas,
Searching for a feeling that was never meant to last.
The smoke, the pills, the poison in my veins,
Just a temporary shelter from the pouring rain.
Wanted somewhere safe where I wouldn't have to feel,
Trying to erase the guilt, trying not to heal.
But this dark trip took me further off the track,
Tried to fly away, and now I can't come back.
[Outro]
So tired... my mind is so tired, yeah.
Lost the race, no brakes, fading away...
Don't even remember that avenue...
Swallowing my poison... with nothing left to say.
(Piano chord fades slowly into silence)
