1% Battery

I left the doors wide open just to let you in, Now the winter’s settling underneath my skin. I dropped my guard, I tore the fences down, And let the silence swallow up this town. You made me a shadow in the heat of day, Turning all my oxygen to grey and fade. Now my lungs are tired, starting to ignite, In this empty room that’s caving in tonight. I’m sinking fast, I forgot how to stand, Still reaching out for the ghost of your hand. An engine of glass, running on cold, Losing the only life that I hold. Broken machine, coin out of luck, Hopelessly hollow, hopelessly stuck. Calling your name, just to feel the ache, A heart with no more resources to break. The sun goes down and leaves me with the wreckage, Every shadow sends a haunting message. My faith is frozen, well below the zero, Waiting for a ghost to be my hero. Trying to catch a spark with a dry lighter, But the darkness only makes the fear grow brighter. I was so yours that I forgot I was mine, Now I’m just a body running out of time. I’m sinking fast, I forgot how to stand, Still reaching out for the ghost of your hand. An engine of glass, running on cold, Losing the only life that I hold. Broken machine, coin out of luck, Hopelessly hollow, hopelessly stuck. Calling your name, just to feel the ache, A heart with no more resources to break. Useless, like an umbrella in the sand, Useless, like a map of a broken land. Useless, like a secret whispered to the dead, Just a loop of static screaming in my head. I’m sinking fast, I forgot how to stand, Still reaching out for the ghost of your hand. An engine of glass, running on cold, Losing the only life that I hold. Broken machine, coin out of luck, Hopelessly hollow, hopelessly stuck. Calling your name, just to feel the ache, A heart with no more resources to break. Battery at one percent. The screen goes black. There’s no turning back. The world is dark... And I’m still awake.
