Late train humming under flicker lights Counting stops just to pass the time Face in the glass don’t look like mine Just a ghost on a borrowed line Phone lights up but I let it die Nothing there I could justify Every word feels rehearsed and thin Like I’m talking but not let in There’s a voice I don’t let speak Says I’m in too deep We’re running in different directions Chasing the same release You wear your silence like armor I wear mine underneath Different lives, different versions But it all feels the same We’re fighting a war with no ending Just calling it different names Kitchen noise and a crowded room Laughing loud just to fill the gloom Everybody says I’m doing fine But they don’t hear the quieter side Hands stay busy, I play the part Keep it light, keep it off my heart If I stop, if I let it in I don’t know where I’d begin Same voice, different words it speaks Still cuts just as deep We’re running in different directions Chasing the same release You wear your silence like armor I wear mine underneath Different lives, different versions But it all feels the same We’re fighting a war with no ending Just calling it different names Same 3AM, different rooms Same dark I can’t outmove Same weight dressed in new disguise Looking through different eyes If I saw you on the street Would I know it was me? Now we’re not so different, are we? Just mirrors out of place Two shadows in the same fight Trying hard to escape Different lives, different stories But they’re drawn the same way We’re fighting a war with no ending Just calling it different names
