A flicker from a bedroom screen Posters on a painted dream Every song felt like a sign That the world would turn out mine Running wild on borrowed time Laughing loud at warning signs Every night a promise made Every risk already paid Never thought beyond the now Never asked the why or how Felt invincible somehow Didn’t think I’d face it down But the silence got louder than the sound And the walls started closing all around Every step felt heavier than before Like I’m standing at a different door I’m sinking in, it’s getting real All the things I didn’t feel Crashing like a wave inside Nowhere left for me to hide I’m sinking in, I see it now Every lost and broken vow Growing up don’t feel like flying It’s learning how to stand while sinking Morning hits a different way No more games to drift away Every choice I leave behind Echoes back a louder kind Friends are fading into names Different roads and different flames Every dream I held so tight Doesn’t fit me like it might And the weight doesn’t fade when I run Every shadow stretching with the sun Every answer leading to a cost Every line showing what I’ve lost I’m sinking in, it’s getting real All the things I didn’t feel Crashing like a wave inside Nowhere left for me to hide I’m sinking in, I see it now Every lost and broken vow Growing up don’t feel like flying It’s learning how to stand while sinking I thought I had forever in my hands Never knew it slips like grains of sand Every moment that I let just pass Is a ghost I didn’t think would last Maybe I don’t need to understand Maybe I just learn to make a stand In the middle of the shifting ground Find my way without the sound I’m sinking in but I won’t break Every step is mine to take Even when the current’s strong I’ll find out where I belong I’m sinking in, but I’m alive Learning how to change and drive Growing up is not just rising It’s holding on while redefining A flicker from a younger dream Still alive inside of me Not the same but still I see Who I am is sinking in
