Lyrics

(Ah, ah)
(Oh, e-ah)
(I'm breathing)
(But I'm not alive)
I walk through crowds like a funeral parade
Every face a mirror that refuses my shape
I am present, I am perished, I am seen and never witnessed
Depression carved me hollow
Left my name in the dirt
Taught me how to function
Without ever feeling hurt
Surrounded by heartbeats entombed in my skin
A public existence, a private fucking hell
I am a shadow with a pulse
I am a body
No one touches
You see the silhouette
Not the suffering
Don't tell me I'm strong
I'm just quiet about the pain
Don't tell me it gets better
When every day feels the same
I scream through smiles, I bleed through routine
I'm fucking dying but I'm on time
Depression didn't kill me, it reprogrammed me
Turned my heart into a waiting room
Learned how to laugh without joy
Learned how to live without a voice
No marks, no memorial
Just a hole where I exist
I'm alive but I feel so erased
I'm alive but I feel so god damn erased
I'm not dead
I walk through crowds like a funeral parade
Every face a mirror that refuses my shape
I am present, I am perished, I am seen and never witnessed
Depression carved me hollow
Left my name in the dirt
Taught me how to function
Without ever feeling hurt
Public ghost
I'm a public ghost
