[Verse 1] Eyes wide open, but I’m not awake Smile’s for show, just something fake Talking slow, I let it slide Everything I feel, I keep inside [Pre-Chorus] I drift through rooms like smoke or air You look at me — I’m barely there [Chorus] Do you feel me, or just the shell? Hard to say, hard to tell I’m in the light, but out of frame I know the face, forgot the name I’m standing here, but I don’t care You see me clear — I’m barely there [Verse 2] Hands move steady, voice on cue I learned to fake it just like you Mirror’s cracked, I look right through What’s real for me might scare you too [Pre-Chorus] You think I’m fine, you think I care But half of me is never there [Chorus] Do you feel me, or just the shell? Hard to say, hard to tell I’m in the light, but out of frame I know the face, forgot the name I’m standing here, but I don’t care You see me clear — I’m barely there [Bridge – slow and hollow] I fade like static on a screen Not a nightmare, not a dream You say you miss me when I’m gone But I’ve been missing all along [Final Chorus – soft, haunting] Do you feel me, or just the shell? Would you notice if I fell? I’m in the room, but not the same I play the part, forget the game You hold my hand like I’m still near But truth is… I was never here [Outro – low and slow] Barely there… Just barely there…
