[Verse 1] I wake in silence, not from sleep Eyes wide open, buried deep Breathing in the phantom air But nothing moves, and no one cares [Verse 2] The world goes on, the clocks still turn The candles flicker, ashes burn I smile like masks on borrowed skin But nothing stirs the dark within [Chorus] I am dead without living, a shell in the rain A ghost in the daylight, too numb for pain No blood in my longing, no fire to give This isn’t dying… it’s forgetting to live [Verse 3] I hear the voices from the street But none of them can feel my feet I walk through walls of glass and gloom Alive in body, but still a tomb [Bridge – soft, echoing] There’s no scream, there’s no decay Just quiet rot that eats away A soul asleep, a will undone The night arrives, but brings no sun [Chorus – repeat, more intense] I am dead without living, a flicker in frost Trapped in the shape of everything lost No pulse, no shadow, no reason to give This isn’t dying… it’s failure to live [Outro – whispered] Don't mourn me. Don't light a flame. I left long before You called my name.
