(Intro)
Keys in the door, I already know the sound...
Same cycle, different day...
Yeah... keep the music up... don’t wanna see u this way ...
(Chorus)
Thousand-yard stare, I’m leaning on the wall (Leaning)
Watching the giants stumble and fall (Hard)
smells like copper and cheap regret
A cigarette burn I haven’t felt yet
I’m a ghost in the hallway, moving in silence
Avoid the friction, avoid the violence (Yeah)
Too old for the tears, too young for the weight
Just waiting on a ride that’s always late.
(Verse 1)
I’m scrolling through my phone, sitting on the porch
Waiting for you to drop the torch (Burn it down)
You’re slurring your words, calling my name
But I’m miles away, playing the game
I used to get angry, now I’m just bored
Of the same old lies I can’t afford
Checking the pulse, checking the breathing
Thinking 'bout the day that I’m finally leaving
Got the bass in my ears to drown out the crash
Cleaning up the spills, taking out the trash.
(Chorus)
Thousand-yard stare, I’m leaning on the wall (Leaning)
Watching the giants stumble and fall (Hard)
smells like copper and cheap regret
A cigarette burn I haven’t felt yet
I’m a ghost in the hallway, moving in silence
Avoid the friction, avoid the violence (Yeah)
Too old for the tears, too young for the weight
Just waiting on a ride that’s always late.
(Verse 2)
You’re asking for money, I’m checking my stash
Knowing it’s gonna end in a crash (In a wreck)
I’m the parent now, that’s a twisted joke
Watching my childhood go up in smoke
Friends go out, but I’m staying inside
Got a front-row seat to the devil’s ride
I don't post about it, I don't say a word
Just another secret that’ll never be heard
Lost in the life, eyes looking glazed
Living a cycle, lost in the maze.
(Breakdown)
Another broken promise taped to the wall
I don't even flinch when I hear you call (No way)
I’ve mastered the art of looking right through
The damage, the drama, the desperate you
I’m packing a bag that stays under the bed
Ignoring the toxic words that you said
The radio’s loud, I’m painting a smile
Just holding my breath for a little while
Walking on glass, I’ve learned how to glide
With nothing left in me to break down inside.
(Bridge)
(Beat drops out, just a cold, distorted synth pad)
I’m twenty-something but I feel like eighty...
The air in this kitchen is getting so heavy...
I’m not a kid, but I’m still your shadow...
Drowning with you in the deep and the shallow...
(Deep and the shallow...)
(Outro)
Yeah...
I’m out the door...
Don’t call my phone...
I’m finally on my own...
