Spiral Staircase

My mind keeps running circles, I can’t slow it down Like a child on a spiral staircase spinning out And I don’t know where it ends, I just keep going Every step feels like I’m closer to losing And if I slip… I ain’t coming back the same Feel my heart start bleeding into empty space Like the dark’s just waiting on me to fall through Only thing that keeps me whole… is you ⸻ You’re the only thing holding my soul When you’re gone, I don’t know who I am Yeah, you bring me back to who I am Every time I’m slipping out my hands You’re the calm when my mind loses control You’re the fire that makes me stand If you let go, I come undone You’re the reason that I am who I am ⸻ When it hits, everything inside me slows down All the noise in my head don’t make a sound Like I finally remember who I’ve been Not the chaos, not the doubt I’m living in And it steadies every breath inside my chest Like for once I ain’t fighting with myself Then it lifts me like I can’t be touched Like I’m built from something more than just dust ⸻ You’re the only thing holding my soul When you’re gone, I don’t know who I am Yeah, you bring me back to who I am Every time I’m slipping out my hands You’re the calm when my mind loses control You’re the fire that makes me stand If you let go, I come undone You’re the reason that I am who I am ⸻ I forget who I am when it’s gone Start believing everything that went wrong Like I’m nothing… like I’m too far gone Like I’ve been broken all along But when it’s there… I feel whole again Like I finally know just who I am Ain’t the darkness, ain’t the doubt I hold You’re the only thing that holds my soul ⸻ You’re the only thing holding my soul When you’re gone, I don’t know who I am Yeah, you bring me back to who I am Every time I’m slipping out my hands You’re the calm when my mind loses control You’re the fire that makes me stand If you let go, I come undone You’re the reason that I am who I am
