Woke up tired, stayed that way Same dead signal, different day Every step just drags me down Grinding teeth, no solid ground Hands keep moving out of habit Mind’s gone blank, I can’t grab it Used to feel like something real Now I fake what I don’t feel I keep pushing just to say I tried But there’s nothing left inside I gave up before I knew I did Somewhere between the cracks I slipped All that fire just burned to dust Now it’s rust and it’s all I trust I gave up, yeah I let it die Didn’t scream, didn’t even try All that noise turned into static Now I’m numb and automatic Same excuses, different voice Like I ever had a choice Every promise breaks in two Guess I learned from watching you Pressure building, nothing breaks Just another thing that takes Pull the wire, cut the feed Still there’s nothing left of me I keep moving like I’m still alive But I’m barely getting by I gave up before I knew I did Somewhere between the cracks I slipped All that fire just burned to dust Now it’s rust and it’s all I trust I gave up, yeah I let it die Didn’t scream, didn’t even try All that noise turned into static Now I’m numb and automatic No resistance No reaction (shutdown… shutdown…) No direction Just subtraction (shutdown… shutdown…) Strip it out Burn it clean (shutdown… shutdown…) Nothing left In between (shutdown… shutdown…) I gave up—yeah I feel it now Every failure showing how All that rage just turned to weight Now it’s buried in my chest I gave up—no one noticed me Just another casualty All that noise turned into static Now I’m gone and automatic
