Verse 1: Staring at the empty skies, Chest caving in, I’m suffocating. Stars getting closer, And it’s getting hard to breathe. Gone in a moment, no movement, But I’m still hyperventilating. No wind, just the sound Of air leaving my lungs as I’m inhaling. Chorus: The cost of the burden is heavy, but freeing, Letting go feels peaceful, then draining. The sound of your voice is calming, then betraying, The tension in the room when you walk in is intensifying. Dreams come to an end as soon as the sun starts rising, And I wake with the weight of everything I’ve been hiding. Verse 2: I’m a slave to my mentality, Give me a dose and I’m back to insanity. We’re back on again, and it’s a curse to humanity, We’re apart, but you still cling to your vanity. You hate me, and it shows in the anatomy, A knife in my back with surgical accuracy. Stop painting the same colors over reality, You can’t copy the code that was written inside of me. This is my final plea, If you can’t see what’s underneath, Then don’t hold on to me. Chorus: The cost of the burden is heavy, but freeing, Letting go feels peaceful, then draining. The sound of your voice is calming, then betraying, The tension in the room when you walk in is intensifying. Dreams come to an end as soon as the sun starts rising, And I wake with the weight of everything I’ve been hiding. Bridge: Maybe I was never meant to stay, Maybe some things only live to fade. I held the weight until it bent my frame, Now I barely recognize my name. If I disappear into the atmosphere, Would you finally hear what you couldn’t hear? I’m done chasing shadows I can’t contain, Done calling it love when it feels like pain. Let the silence take what’s left of me, Let the stars fall where they’re meant to be. If letting go is what sets me free, Then lose your grip and let me breathe. Chorus: The cost of the burden is heavy, but freeing, Letting go feels peaceful, then draining. The sound of your voice is calming, then betraying, The tension in the room when you walk in is intensifying. Dreams come to an end as soon as the sun starts rising, And I wake with the weight of everything I’ve been hiding.
