Glass Half-War

[Intro] How can I stay up when the world keeps draggin' me down? Yeah... How? [Verse 1] I wake up with a grip, but the world’s slippin’ away Every thought that I keep, got a shadow to betray Scroll through the wreckage, like I’m searchin’ for light But it’s buried under smoke, just tryna survive the night They tell me smile like the sun still shines But the sky’s bleedin’ red, like we outta time I’m searchin’ for heaven in a hell-built place Tryna keep my soul intact but it’s feelin’ like waste [Pre-Chorus] How can I be an optimist in a war I can’t win? Carryin’ hope but it’s feelin’ like sin I keep pushin’, but it’s heavy on my chest Livin' with ghosts, tryna silence the rest [Chorus] I’m a dreamer in a doom scroll, heart froze Every laugh is a crack in the code Lookin' for heaven with a hand full of stones Hope’s a burden, but I’m still holdin’ it close Yeah, I still do I still do Fightin’ for the light in this blackened view [Verse 2] Therapy ain’t workin', pills don’t heal The truth's a lie I gotta feel Built a shrine with my regrets Suffocatin' in these shallow breaths See the world fallin', I’m watchin’ it burn Tryna find peace in the places we learn Told me “be the change,” but I can’t even breathe This war’s inside me, and I’m just tryna leave [Pre-Chorus] How can I be a light when I flicker and fade? Fight for the right, but the fight gets paid I’m breakin’ through, but it’s hard to survive Darkness all around, but I’m stayin’ alive [Chorus] I’m a dreamer in a doom scroll, heart froze Every laugh is a crack in the code Lookin' for heaven with a hand full of stones Hope’s a burden, but I’m still holdin’ it close Yeah, I still do I still do Fightin’ for the light in this blackened view [Bridge] I know joy’s quiet… but I’ll hear it if it calls In the silence, I rise when the world falls Ain’t no easy road, but I’m built for the strain ‘Cause even in the storm, I’m fightin’ through the pain [Outro] I’m broken, but I’m still gon' glow Even when the night don’t let me go Yeah, the weight’s heavy but the fight’s still mine Still reachin’ for the stars, while I'm runnin’ from time
