Lyrics

I wake up tired before I open my eyes
Like I ran a marathon inside my mind
There's a whisper already pulling the thread
A thousand little voices crowding my bed
They're lining up disasters in a perfect row
Every what if dressed in worst-case clothes
And before my feet even touch the floor
I'm losing battles that haven't happened before
It's a siren I can't outrun
A countdown with no zero
Every second screaming
You'll never be enough to be their hero
There's static in my head it never goes quiet
Every thought's a spark and they're begging to riot
Telling me I'm breaking telling me I'm too much
Not loving enough not steady enough
I'm drowning in the noise I can't outrun
Every fear saying look what you've become
I just wanna breathe without the weight of it all
Wanna stand up straight without waiting to fall
I don't wanna live like this
Trapped in the echo of my own mind's call
All day I rehearse every possible pain
Every goodbye that hasn't happened yet
Reading between lines that don't exist
Fighting shadows I haven't met
Am I kind enough
Am I strong enough
Do they see the cracks I hide
If I stop holding everything together
Will they leave the second I slide
It's a courtroom in my skull
Every thought a prosecution
No defense no rest
Just a lifetime execution
There's static in my head it never goes quiet
Every heartbeat feels like starting a riot
Telling me I'm failing telling me I'm wrong
Not strong enough to carry on
I'm fighting conversations that never were said
Living a thousand lives inside my head
I just wanna feel like I'm safe in my skin
Not always bracing for the storm within
I don't wanna live like this
Always losing wars before they begin
But somewhere underneath the noise
There's a quieter voice still breathing
It says you're still here you're still standing
That counts for more than you're believing
Maybe healing isn't silence
Maybe it's learning to survive the sound
Maybe strength is just continuing
When your mind keeps dragging you down
There's static in my head but I'm still fighting
Every day I wake up I'm still trying
Maybe I'm messy maybe I'm flawed
But I'm still here still holding on
I don't need perfect I just need real
Learning that broken hearts still heal
And maybe someday the noise will fade
Or maybe I'll just be unafraid
The voices don't own me
They're only passing through
And even in the chaos
I'm still me
I'm still true
