[Verse 1] You hold your breath when I draw near Like you’re waiting for a spark But I’ve got nothing left to give Just a shadow in the dark [Pre-Chorus] I wish I felt the way you do But I gave it all away To someone who just watched me break Then left without a trace [Chorus] So I bleed behind closed eyes No headlines, no goodbyes My pain’s a quiet art That tears myself apart I don't change the world, I don't change the scene But I leave bruises no one sees Except on me [Verse 2] You speak in colours, soft and bright But I’m always tuned to grey You reach for something deep inside But it’s already decayed You call it love, I call it debt It’s all been paid in full I tried to care, but I forget What made it beautiful [Pre-Chorus] I wish I could just play the part But I’m worn down to skin There’s nothing left behind the smile Just static in the wind [Chorus] So I fall in practiced lines No meaning, just designs My wounds are all discreet But echo on repeat I don’t make a dent in the world I see But every step is killing me [Bridge] I’m not tragic, I’m not brave Just a whisper in a cave And every act of self-abuse Is just a way to feel the truth [Chorus] I scream without a sound No one turns around My pain won't start a war It just stains the kitchen floor No ripple in the world, no shattered screen Just damage in-between That lives in me
