[Verse 1] Lead in my veins, dragging through the dawn Every step heavier, the daylight feels wrong Promises waiting, but I’m too weak to chase The mirror shows a stranger with a hollow face [Chorus] Exhaustion, iron chains on my soul Dragging me under, swallowing whole You steal my fire, you crush my fight Exhaustion — you own the night [Verse 2] Love strained thin, under silence and sighs Dreams left undone, fading right before my eyes Hands reach out, but I’m too tired to hold The warmth slips away, leaving me cold [Bridge] If I rest in your arms, maybe I’ll heal If I surrender the fight, maybe I’ll feel Even broken hearts can learn to mend Even weary souls can rise again [Final Chorus (repeat)} Exhaustion, iron chains on my soul Dragging me under, swallowing whole You steal my fire, you crush my fight Exhaustion — you own the night
