Verse 1 Grew up where the good die quiet and the cold stay loud Learned to read a room before I learned to read aloud Thirteen with a weight on me I couldn’t name Different faces, same story, everybody playing the same game Watched my brother change his eyes around a certain age Something got inside him like he turned a different page Tried to reach him but my hands just passed right through That’s when I learned that love alone can’t save you Pre-Chorus And the nights get longer when you got nowhere to go Smile for everybody but they never really know What’s underneath Chorus I been drowning in the shallow end Calling out but there’s no signal Everybody’s moving but I’m standing still again Hollow in a crowd of people Tried to outrun everything I came from But it followed me like shadow Now I’m sitting with the version of myself I never wanted anybody to know Verse 2 Lost a couple people to the streets, couple more to time Some just faded out so slow you didn’t see the signs We was laughing in the summer, by the winter they was gone Now I pour a little out and keep on moving on Got a mirror in my room I barely look at anymore Don’t recognize the man that’s standing on the other side of worn Therapy was something other people did I just swallowed everything and kept it buried like I always did Pre-Chorus Numbness start to feel like peace after a while You forget what it felt like just to smile Without pretending Chorus I been drowning in the shallow end Calling out but there’s no signal Everybody’s moving but I’m standing still again Hollow in a crowd of people Tried to outrun everything I came from But it followed me like shadow Now I’m sitting with the version of myself I never wanted anybody to know Bridge No savior coming No light at the end Just me and everything I tried to forget The version of me That nobody saw Still bleeding out Behind these walls Still bleeding out Behind these walls
