[Intro]
Slow drip ceiling stain
Clock hand carving my name
Breath in
Feels thin
[Verse 1]
Every year feels
One shade less
Color leaking
From my chest
Photo frames
Turn to dust
I keep breathing
Out of trust
[Pre-Chorus]
Is this growing up
Or just wearing down
Skin getting louder
Heart losing sound
[Chorus]
I’m fading while I breathe
Breaking every time I blink
The longer that I’m here
The further that I sink
I’m fading while I breathe
Can’t feel the ground beneath
If living means this slow decay
How much more of me
Can I afford to leave
[Verse 2]
Same street
Different cracks
Friends’ names
On the plaques
Laugh lines
Cut too deep
Smile feels
Half asleep
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me this is change
Not a quiet end
Every scar I earn
Looks the same as when I bend
[Chorus]
[Breakdown]
[low vocal register] One more day
For the pile
Of small goodbyes
[building drums] One more crack
In the mirror
Behind my eyes
[full scream] I’M STILL HERE
EVEN IF IT HURTS
I’LL DRAG THIS FRACTURED BODY
SCREAMING THROUGH THE DIRT
[Double-kick drop]
Losing light
But I won’t close
Gripping tight
As the shadow grows
Heartbeat stutter
Teeth on glass
If this is fading
I’ll make it last
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Soft glow
On my skin
If this is the end
Let it begin
One faint line
Still underneath
I am more than
What I leave
