[Verse 1] I’m sitting right in front of you, but miles away Counting down the seconds of another wasted day You judge me by the quiet, think I’m being cold Like I’m keeping secrets that were meant to be told You don’t see the energy it takes to pretend Or how hard I try to keep from reaching the end It takes everything I’ve got just to stand in the room While you’re treating my survival like an attitude. [Pre-Chorus] You call it distance, you call it a wall You think I’m waiting for the whole thing to fall You stand on the outside, looking for a sign While I’m trying just to survive inside my mind! [Chorus] There’s static between us, tearing us apart! A silence growing loud inside a heavy heart! The world gets louder while I’m fading away And I don't have the words to make you want to stay! I don't want to push you clear into the gray… I’m just trying not to drag you down today. [Verse 2] Every little task sucks the life out of me A war behind my eyes that you’re never gonna see It’s easier for you to say I’ve grown cold and strange Than to accept the reality of what I can't change So you step back slowly, offended by the sound Of someone who is barely keeping feet on the ground. [Pre-Chorus] You call it distance, you call it a wall You think I’m waiting for the whole thing to fall You stand on the outside, looking for a sign While I’m trying just to survive inside my mind! [Chorus] There’s static between us, tearing us apart! A silence growing loud inside a heavy heart! The world gets louder while I’m fading away And I don't have the words to make you want to stay! I don't want to push you clear into the gray… I’m just trying not to drag you down today. [Bridge] You talk about effort like you know what it costs! Every breath is a war, every second a loss! Don't tell me to fix what you can't understand! When I'm trying to survive the best way that I can! [Chorus] There’s static between us, tearing us apart! A silence growing loud inside a heavy heart! The world gets louder while I’m fading away And I don't have the words to make you want to stay! I don't want to push you clear into the gray… I’m just trying not to drag you down today. [Outro] Just static between us. I’m still here. Through the noise... I’m still here.
