[Intro]
The room is breathing without me
Walls lean in, then pretend they don’t
I laugh a second too late
Like I’m syncing to the wrong clock
There’s a taste of iron in the quiet
But I tell myself it’s nothing new
Just another night misplacing sleep
Just another truth I slip straight through
[Pre Chorus]
Something flickers when the lights go low
A shape I almost recognize
I hold my breath to hear it clearer
But silence wears a better disguise
[Chorus]
I’m floating where the floor should be
Counting cracks in the light below
Every second stretches thin
Like it’s afraid to let me go
The surface glows like a false promise
Close enough to almost touch
I wave like I’m not asking for help
Like I don’t need it that much
If I stay still, I won’t be pulled under
If I don’t move, I won’t fall through
[Verse]
My name sounds strange inside my mouth
Like it belongs to someone else
I trace old cracks along the mirror
Every line I never felt
There’s thunder hiding in my pulse
Soft enough to pass for calm
I keep my smile folded neatly
Like a letter I won’t open yet
[Pre Chorus]
The air gets thick, my chest feels borrowed
Time bends wrong around my spine
I swear I’ve been here once before
But I don’t know when, I don’t know why
[Chorus]
I’m sinking in a borrowed ocean
No waves, just endless weight
Every thought leaves a bruise behind it
Every breath arrives too late
I reach for edges that dissolve
They cut my hands, then slip away
My shadow swims ahead of me
Like it’s trying to escape
I swear I almost feel the bottom
But it keeps giving way
[Violin Solo]
[Bridge]
There’s a sound like breaking glass
But it’s coming from inside my ribs
I flinch before the echo hits
Like my body already knows the script
Memory without a picture
Fear without a name
I’m bracing for a lightning strike
In perfectly clear rain
[Pre Chorus]
Now the dark is speaking fluently
Every pause is loaded, sharp
I don’t remember choosing this
But it knows exactly where to start
[Final Chorus]
I’m not drowning—I’m disappearing
Layer by layer, thread by thread
The water’s learned my shape by now
It wears my voice inside my head
Every scream turns into pressure
Every fight just pulls me down
I don’t know what broke the surface
But I know I’m not there now
If I let go, I finally sink
If I hold on, I still fade out
