[Intro] LET IT EAT ME ALIVE Verse 1 I keep my hands clean, but my head stays stained Every quiet moment feels like it knows my name I laugh when it’s needed just to pass as okay But the sound never feels like it came from me I’ve been counting the hours just to lose track of time Living somewhere between a truth and a lie You say it gets better, I don’t know if that’s real I just know what it takes not to feel ⸻ Pre-Chorus Tell me it’s nothing, I’ll call it a lie Wrap it in comfort, let it eat me alive I don’t need saving, I just need the noise Something to drown out the war in my voice ⸻ Chorus No safe word, no way to run Just hollow echoes when the damage comes If I’m the storm then let it come undone Let it eat me alive No white flag, no letting go Just sinking lower than I used to know If I disappear, don’t say you don’t know Let it eat me alive ⸻ Verse 2 I see my reflection but it doesn’t respond Like it learned how to lie and just kept it on Same empty eyes but they don’t feel mine Just a face I wear when I lose track of time There’s a weight in my chest that won’t let go Pulls me under slow where the silence grows And I swear I was fine not long ago Now I’m chasing a version I don’t even know ⸻ Pre-Chorus Tell me it’s nothing, I’ll call it a lie Wrap it in comfort, let it eat me alive I don’t need saving, I just need the noise Something to drown out the war in my voice ⸻ Chorus 2 No safe word, no place to hide Just shattered patience I can’t revive If I’m the problem, let it collide Let it eat me alive No calm end, no afterglow Just deeper cuts than I ever show If this is me, then I don’t know Let it eat me alive ⸻ Breakdown Say it louder till it sticks in my skin I don’t know where I end or where I’ve been If I scream back will it change anything? Or just prove I was never listening? ⸻ Final Chorus No safe word, no way to run Just hollow echoes when the damage comes If I’m the storm then let it come undone Let it eat me alive No white flag, no letting go Just sinking lower than I used to know If I disappear, don’t say you don’t know Let it eat me alive
