(Verse 1)
It starts as a whisper, but it won’t fade out,
A voice in my head that’s screaming too loud.
I try to escape, but I’m losing my way,
Stuck in the silence, too scared to say...
(Pre-Chorus)
It’s pulling me under, it’s closing in tight,
I tell myself lies just to sleep through the night.
I know that it’s nothing, but it feels so real,
Tell me how do I heal…
(Chorus)
I’m running but I’m standing still,
Drowning in a world that’s hard to feel.
Heart’s beating like a distant drum,
Fighting a battle that won’t come undone.
But I’ve survived before, I’ll do it again,
I won’t let the fear be where this ends.
(Verse 2)
My hands start to tremble, my chest caves in,
Like I’m stuck in a war that I’ll never win.
I reach for the calm, but it slips through my hands,
Falling like waves on sinking sand.
(Pre-Chorus)
It’s pulling me under, it’s closing in tight,
I tell myself lies just to sleep through the night.
I know that it’s nothing, but it feels so real,
Tell me how do I heal…
(Chorus)
I’m running but I’m standing still,
Drowning in a world that’s hard to feel.
Heart’s beating like a distant drum,
Fighting a battle that won’t come undone.
But I’ve survived before, I’ll do it again,
I won’t let the fear be where this ends.
(Bridge - Soft, then Builds Up)
Even the storm must bow to the tide,
Even the dark will run from the light.
Fear is a voice, but it’s not who I am,
I’ll rise from the ashes and take back my stand.
(Outro - Stripped Back, Emotional)
I’m running but I’m standing still,
But I know someday, I always will
Find my way, break these chains,
And let the whispers fade away...
