Fading from the lights

I wake up in a war zone that nobody sees,

Scars in my head where the nightmares breathe.

I try to smile but it cracks at the seams,

Another day lost inside my dreams.

The mirror says I’m still alive,

But my eyes are ghosts behind the lie.

Every breath feels like goodbye,

But I keep pretending I’ll survive.

I’m tired of fighting shadows in my mind,

Every victory just bleeds me dry.

I’m trying my best, but I’m breaking apart,

Carrying storms inside my heart.

These demons whisper, “Let it go,”

And part of me wants to follow.

I don’t wanna die, I just want it to stop—

The endless climb, the endless drop.

If I fade out slowly, don’t let me go,

Just hold me close till I get home.

Flashbacks hit like thunder cracks,

Every sound drags me right back.

The world moves on, I’m standing still,

Tied to the weight of what I can’t heal.

I drink the dark to numb the pain,

But it always finds me just the same.

My heart’s a room that’s out of light,

But I keep hoping for one more fight.

I’m tired of fighting shadows in my mind,

But giving up don’t feel right tonight.

I’m trying my best, but I’m breaking apart,

Carrying storms inside my heart.

These demons whisper, “Let it go,”

And part of me wants to follow.

I don’t wanna die, I just want it to stop—

The endless climb, the endless drop.

If I fade out slowly, don’t let me go,

Just hold me close till I get home.

[Bridge] (Soft, haunting)

If there’s a light somewhere out there,

Can it cut through this despair?

I’m not asking to be saved,

Just to not feel this way.

[Final Chorus] (Big and broken)

I’m trying my best, but I’m losing control,

Pieces of me I can’t console.

The demons whisper, “Time to go,”

But I’m still screaming “No!”

I don’t wanna die, I just want it to stop,

These bleeding thoughts that never drop.

If I fade out slowly, please don’t let go,

Tell me there’s a place I still can go.

I’m trying my best…

I’m trying my best…

But I’m fading out slowly
