Lyrics

(Later-)
I’ve been marking every breath like it’s proof I’m still alive…
Or just… still here…
Lines on the wall, yeah I drew ‘em myself
Every loss got a mark, every doubt got a shelf
Stacked up high, now it’s hard to see clear
Every number got a voice sayin’ “you still here?”
Tick tick—time never told me to stop
So I counted every failure like it’s all that I got
Put a label on pain, now it’s part of my name
Now I’m stuck in a loop, yeah I’m feeding the game
Who told me I should keep count?
Who told me I don’t amount?
Every step feelin’ tracked now
Every breath gettin’ mapped out
I don’t know where it started
But I know where I’m going
I won’t count, I won’t count, I won’t count now
Let it break, let it fall, let it drown now
Every chain that I wore comin’ down now
I can breathe, I can hear, I can sound now
I was lost in the weight of it all
Every line had me pinned to the wall
But I see I was buildin’ the cage
Now I’m walkin’ away
Numbers on the walls like they watchin’ me think
Every memory twisted when I stand at the brink
I was countin’ mistakes like they made me defined
Now I’m losin’ the shape of the person inside
Every “sorry” I said never canceled the score
Every door that I shut added one even more
Now the room feel alive like it breathin’ me in
And the tally keep growin’ every time that I spin
Wait—
What if none of it’s real?
What if pain ain’t a number I’m supposed to conceal?
What if all of these marks just a code I believed
But the lock never needed a key to be freed?
Who told me I should keep count?
Who made me build this out?
Every line feelin’ fake now
Every truth start to break now
I don’t know if I’m ready…
But I know where I’m going
I won’t count, I won’t count, I won’t count now
Let it break, let it fall, let it drown now
Every chain that I wore comin’ down now
I can breathe, I can hear, I can sound now
I was lost in the weight of it all
Every line had me pinned to the wall
But I see I was buildin’ the cage
Now I’m walkin’ away
…What if I never had to?
What if I never needed proof?
What if all of these numbers…
Were just something I used
To avoid lookin’ inward…
To avoid feelin’ truth…
(voice cracks)
What if I’m not the total…
Of everything I’ve been through?
I won’t count, I won’t count, I won’t count now
Let it break, let it fall, let it drown now
Every chain that I wore comin’ down now
I can breathe, I can hear, I can sound now
I was lost in the weight of it all
Every line had me pinned to the wall
But I see I was buildin’ the cage
Now I’m walkin’ away
(No more countin’, no more chains…)
(No more livin’ in that pain…)
(You ready for the next one?)
