You watch from afar Like a storm that's closing in The lively mask hides all the pain within The world’s moving fast it’s breaking me down No matter how I fight I can’t reach the ground A world of chaos walking on the edge of fear Not too hot, not too cold stuck in the atmosphere I can’t see the road Craving a hand but afraid of chains in the sand Living in the chaos neither hot nor cold Speaking lines that don’t heal Hiding the cracks in my soul pretending I’m unbreakable I drift in the crowd my heart's already numb Surrounded by noise but I’m just feeling dumb Eyes meet but they don’t really connect Between the cold and warm I’m a wreck Every word hides a scar we never speak Have we forgotten the warmth we used to seek? I can’t see the road Craving a hand but afraid of chains in the sand Living in the chaos neither hot nor cold Speaking lines that don’t heal Hiding the cracks in my soul pretending I’m unbreakable Are we too used to burying truth deep inside? Too afraid to be seen to face the divide In the sea of faces loneliness is real Between the cold and warmth memories start to peel I drift in the crowd Waiting in silence neither cold nor warm Stuck at the edge trying to weather the storm Silent pain is eating me alive Hiding in the moments that never survive We look at each other but the distance remains Time slips like sand slipping through the veins A care that’s neither cold nor warm A wall that can’t be torn Behind every smile there’s a shadow that’s deep No matter how close we get we’re still out of reach Are we just afraid to face the truth we can’t keep?
