Wires and Wounds

Static in my head like a parasite

Body’s still breathing but the brain ain’t right

Every thought feels sharp like shattered glass

I scratch at the scars but the pain won’t pass

I swallowed too much of the world tonight

Now I’m choking on memories that never felt right

I walk on broken circuits and worn-out nerves

Lost track of what I deserve

⸻

I ain’t dead… but I ain’t alive

Just a glitch pretending to survive

Skin feels tight, like wires inside

I cut myself open just to see what died

⸻

I’m losing sanity one scream at a time

I’m tearing myself just to feel aligned

The world’s a cage and the key’s a lie

And I’m smiling through the wires, waiting to die

I’m breaking down, cell by cell

My head’s the weapon, welcome to hell

I’m trapped in a body I don’t recognize

A ghost that fucking dramatizes

⸻

My thoughts glitch out in ultraviolet

Can’t reset, no power to fight it

It’s not depression, it’s corrosion

Metal teeth grind emotion

I taste blood in every memory

And the music twists what’s left of me

A walking malfunction, drenched in regret

Self-destruction’s the closest I get

⸻

I ain’t dead… but I ain’t alive

Just a glitch pretending to survive

Skin feels tight, like wires inside

I cut myself open just to prove I tried

⸻

No therapy

No remedy

Just circuitry

Eating me

Broken code

Overload

Crashing hard

System blown

⸻

I scream at the mirror

It never screams back

My sanity is dripping

In a puddle that’s black

Every smile is a lie

Every truth is a cut

Every thought is a trigger

I can’t unplug

⸻

I’m losing sanity one scream at a time

I’m tearing myself just to feel aligned

The world’s a cage and the key’s a lie

And I’m smiling through the wires, praying to die

I’m breaking down, cell by cell

My head’s the weapon, welcome to hell

I’m trapped in a body I can’t recognize

A glitch that never re-synchronizes

⸻

Take my voice

Take my breath

Take the sanity I have left

Leave the wires

Leave the scars

Maybe what’s left

Is who we are
