V5.5

The nights keep getting longer. The mornings come too late. I watch the light move across the room and somehow never leave this place. [verse 1] I sit and let the hours pass, watching other lives go by. I wait for someone to say my name, then find I have no strength to reply. I scroll until the noise goes numb, until the world becomes a blur. I want to move, I want to leave, but even wanting feels like work. [pre-chorus] I know the door is waiting. I know the road is there. But all I seem to have tonight is this weight beneath my skin. [chorus] Can somebody hear me? Can somebody break through? I'm drowning in the silence and I don't know what to do. I'm so fucking tired! I'm tired of holding on! I don't need you to fix me— I just need this weight gone! [verse 2] The house feels smaller every night, the walls remember every word. I sit behind a screen and wait for someone who might understand. And when somebody reaches out, I feel the effort it will take. I miss the sound of being known, but sometimes even that feels heavy. [pre-chorus] I am not asking for a miracle. I am not asking for a cure. I only wish, for one damn moment, I could breathe without this weight. [chorus] Can somebody hear me? Can somebody break through? I'm drowning in the silence and I don't know what to do. I'm so fucking tired! I'm tired of holding on! I don't need you to fix me— I just need this weight gone! [breakdown] I'M TIRED OF BEING STRONG! TIRED OF CARRYING THIS WEIGHT! TIRED OF SMILING WHEN I DON'T FEEL OKAY! I DON'T NEED AN ANSWER! I NEED A FUCKING BREATH! [bridge] Maybe tomorrow will be easier. Maybe it won't. Maybe I just need the night to pass without asking anything from me. For now, let me breathe. Let me be tired. Let me be human without having to explain it. I don't need to know the whole road. I don't need to see the end. I only need this moment to stop closing in. [final chorus] Can somebody hear me? Can somebody break through? I'm drowning in the silence, but I still need something true. I'm so fucking tired! I'm tired of holding on! I don't need you to fix me— I just need this weight gone! JUST LET ME BREATHE! JUST LET ME BREATHE! [outro] The room is still
