Lyric

Drowning in the static

I can’t tell what’s mine

Hiding in the corners

But even shadows get dragged into the light

Eyes shut — I vanish

Eyes wide — it burns

Their glittering “selves”

Are sharpened into thorns

Fake a smile, pull the strings

Master of facial choreography

But deep in the basement

Something… breathes

Can’t you see me breaking?

Beneath this noise, I’m shaking

Sick of the “be positive” parade

This ache won’t be erased

And though I grin

My eyes — they scream

A soul misplaced

A silent scream

Arrows of “I”

They rain from the sky

No shield, no skin, no lies

Can keep them from digging inside

I pretend I’m fine

But poison has a pulse

And it’s dancing in my blood tonight

You don’t see it

But I’m still here

Buried in the static

Louder than fear

So I’ll wear this silence

Like a crown of thorns

Still bleeding truth

While they sell their norms

But these eyes

They remember everything

Even the parts

No one dares to sing
