[Verse] I wake before the sun decides To pull itself across the blinds The ceiling speaks in silent tones A language carved from heavy stone The mirror never meets my eyes It’s learned to look the other side... I drift between the pull and pause Of days that bleed without a cause [Pre-Chorus] It’s not a scream, it’s not a sound Just the pressure pressing down... [Chorus] I’m breaking down but no one sees. Buried deep beneath this freeze. Every thought becomes a chain, Every breath repeats the pain. Pull me out or let me drown, Screaming loud without a sound. I’m still here but far from free, This silence is what's killing me... [Verse] I build a smile out of thread, Wear it 'til the seams are red. The world moves like I’m not there Like I’m a space, not filled with air... I’ve learned to lie with practiced grace, To save them from the hollow place. They say to fight, they say to try, But never ask the reasons why... [Pre-Chorus] It’s not despair, it’s not defeat It’s the weight beneath my feet... [Chorus] I’m breaking down but no one sees. Buried deep beneath this freeze. Every thought becomes a chain, Every breath repeats the pain. Pull me out or let me drown, Screaming loud without a sound. I’m still here but far from free, This silence is what's killing me... This silence is what's killing me... [Bridge] I’m not asking for the light! I just want to feel the fight! To bleed a reason, burn a name! Something real inside the flame... [Chorus] I’m breaking down but no one sees. Buried deep beneath this freeze. Every thought becomes a chain, Every breath repeats the pain. Pull me out or let me drown, Screaming loud without a sound. I’m still here but far from free, This silence is what's killing me...
