[Intro] static hum… heartbeat off… can’t feel… can’t think… [Verse 1] I wake up in pieces, scattered on the floor, world spinning too fast, every knock on the door echoes like blame, like I’m already broken, every word a cut, every glance a token. I move through the day, hollow behind my eyes, smiling like I’m fine while everything dies. Hands shake, chest tight, screaming inside, I’m here, but my soul’s running, trying to hide. [Pre-Chorus] And I hate it, hate it, hate it — the world keeps going while I stall. I fight, I bleed, I’m invisible, trapped inside these walls. [Chorus] I’m angry and quiet, I’m lost and loud, I’m here in the crowd but I’m not allowed. Everything hurts and nothing makes sense, life keeps hitting — I can’t pay the rent. I’m shards of me scattered, alone in the storm, trying to survive in a body I can’t transform. [Verse 2] They think I’m strong, they think I can take it, they don’t see the nights I can’t fake it. Every ex, every lie, every “it’s fine,” stacking up inside me, a jagged line. I’m screaming in silence, yelling in the dark, trying to find my place, trying to leave a mark. But luck’s never mine, just hits over and over, I’m drowning in memories I can’t sober. [Pre-Chorus] And I hate it, hate it, hate it — the world keeps spinning like I don’t exist. I claw, I fight, I’m fading again, lost in the fog, lost in the mist. [Chorus] I’m angry and quiet, I’m lost and loud, I’m here in the crowd but I’m not allowed. Everything hurts and nothing makes sense, life keeps hitting — I can’t pay the rent. I’m shards of me scattered, alone in the storm, trying to survive in a body I can’t transform. [Bridge] I dissociate, watch myself go, numb in the echo of every blow. Anger burns, and sorrow claws, I want to vanish but I’m bound by laws — laws of survival, laws of pain, laws of my heart bleeding in vain. grrr… shards… static… can’t… can’t… breathe… [Chorus] I’m angry and quiet, I’m lost and loud, I’m here in the crowd but I’m not allowed. Everything hurts and nothing makes sense, life keeps hitting — I can’t pay the rent. I’m shards of me scattered, alone in the storm, trying to survive in a body I can’t transform. [Outro] heartbeat muted… eyes closed… just fragments… just me…
