Nowhere Left

(Verse 1)

Sunlight burns my eyes, I turn away

Another empty smile to greet the day

Got a locked heart, the key is gone

Singing out of tune to an empty song

The walls are high, the silence loud

Just another face in a passing crowd

(Chorus)

Gotta keep it buried, gotta hold the line

Don’t let them see you this time

Swallow every word, tie it up so tight

Living in the dark, shining no light

Yeah, hold it in, push it down below

Nowhere left for feelings to go

(Verse 2)

Stare into the mirror, the reflection lies

A thousand deaths behind these eyes

The pressure builds, a static hum

My tongue is tied, my senses numb

They ask me if I'm good, I say "I'm fine"

Sipping on a glass of bitter wine

(Chorus)

Gotta keep it buried, gotta hold the line

Don’t let them see you this time

Swallow every word, tie it up so tight

Living in the dark, shining no light

Yeah, hold it in, push it down below

Nowhere left for feelings to go

(Bridge)

Someday I might break, a beautiful crash

Turn all of this sorrow into ash

But until that day, the dam will hold

A silent story, yet to be told

(Guitar Solo - Grungy, emotional, a slow build to a chaotic release, then pulls back to a steady rhythm)

(Chorus)

Gotta keep it buried, gotta hold the line

Don’t let them see you this time

Swallow every word, tie it up so tight

Living in the dark, shining no light

Yeah, hold it in, push it down below

Nowhere left for feelings to go

(Outro)

Nowhere left to go, nowhere left to run

The damage is already done.

Keep it inside, keep it inside

Nowhere left to go, nowhere left to hide
