If this is you… Surviving in the wreckage too… Please remember— The mess is not your soul. The shame is not your name. You are not ruined Just because survival left its stains. Start where you are… Remember who you are… And my mind keeps screaming— Don’t look too close… Please… Don’t look too close… [Verse 1] I learned how to smile with a war in my chest Learned how to function while drowning to death People said, “You seem fine now, you’re doing okay” They never saw what it cost me to stay Every corner holds ghosts of the versions of me Too tired to fight and too ashamed to speak Unfinished dreams lying there like a shadow of dread Every unfinished thing tearing holes in my head Head… Head… [Pre-Chorus] I was running on fumes Spending all my strength Just surviving the room Don’t look too close… Don’t look too close… [Chorus] Please don’t look at my damage Like the wreckage is my life This was survival When I was dying inside Every pile, every scar, every room I would hide Was a war I kept fighting while something else died Pain leaves its traces scattered and deep When you live in the secrets you’re too scared to speak Speak… Speak… [Verse 2] I carried the baggage I carried the weight Till the pain got visible, heavy, and hard to escape There’s a voice in my skull Turning shame into a knife Cutting away at the rest of my life The mess is not your soul… The shame is not your name… [Chorus] Please don’t look at my damage Like the wreckage is my life This was survival When I was dying inside You saw the outside, the walls, and the state While my nervous system finally gave way Trying to hold every shattered piece tight While begging my soul to survive through the night [Bridge] Every corner holds ghosts Of the versions of me— WHYYYY?! Pain leaves its traces scattered and deep Deep… Deep… There’s a voice in my skull Turning shame into a knife Shame! The mess is not your soul— Not your soul! You are not ruined— Ruined! [Breakdown] I’m surrounded by the aftermath Aftermath! But that’s just proof— You are not ruined… Just because survival left its stains… [Final Chorus] Please don’t look at my damage Like the wreckage is my life This was survival When I was dying inside You can hate what this has become And still survive [Outro] If this is you… Surviving in the wreckage too… Please remember— The mess is not your soul. The shame is not your name. You are not ruined Just because survival left its stains. Start where you are… Remember who you are…
