Lyrics

Oh
Oh
Oh oh
I rehearse comebacks I'll never see
Yeah the ones that sting the perfectly crafted decree
To people who never asked anyway
Phantom arguments at the close of the day
I leave the lights off so I don't see me
This silhouette in the dim is easier to appease
I won't confuse myself with who I used to be
That confident grin feels like a stolen ID
So quiet starts to feel like company
No need for explanations no forced or reality
So I pretend I'm still the old me
I practice performance for my own anxiety
And live my life accordingly
Followin' a ghost's choreography
Took the long way home
Cause I wasn't ready to face the quiet truth
The weight already heavy
Acted calm like it ever fixed me
Just a surface layer the underneath gets messy
Guess I've been drifting lately
Lost the horizon the air feels hazy
I don't pray just hope I don't break
This careful reconstructed fragile mistake
Please don't let it be too late
This grip on something real seal my fate
Please don't let me slip away
Like water through fingers day by day
Please don't let me ride away
Inside this stillness where colors turn to grey
Please don't let it end this way
For the real voice find something true to say
I trace old photos with the tip of my thumb
Faces frozen and laughter before the quiet had come
Yeah highlight reel playing feeling strangely numb
Like looking through glass of the life
That someone else won
This ain't sadness exactly more
Like a slow succumb to the pull of the under current
Feeling utterly glum
Try to recall the reasons
The turning point to come from
But the timelines are blurred kinda hazy and dumb
The screen's glow is the only light in the room
Illuminating but gathering gloom
Another night falling sealed in the silent tomb
Just the tick of the clock punctuating the doom
So I play the old records the songs we used to know
Hoping a melody can make some lost feelings show
Took the long way home
Cause I wasn't ready to face the quiet truth
The weight already heavy
Acted calm like it ever fixed me
Just a surface layer
The underneath gets messy
Guess I've been drifting lately lost the horizon
The air feels hazy
I don't pray just hope I don't break
This carefully constructed fragile mistake
Please don't let it be too late
This grip on something real see my fate
Please don't let me slip away
Like water through fingers day by day
Please don't let me ride away
Inside this stillness where colors turn to grey
Please don't let it end this way
Before the real voice finds something true to say
This ain't about shouting or making a grand display
With the ghosts of yesterday
Maybe the drifting's applause
A chance to reconvey
The narrative inside before it all just decays
Don't let it be too late
Don't let me slip away
Don't let me rot away
Don't let it end this way
Yeah
Before I truly know what to say
