Nothing Waits For Me

**Verse 1**

I stopped asking why

Nothing ever answers

Every prayer feels staged

Every breath feels borrowed

I tried to believe in something

Anything bigger than decay

But everything I touched

Collapsed the same way

**Pre-Chorus**

They said the pain would pass

Like it was going somewhere

But it just learned my shape

And settled in

**Chorus**

There’s nothing waiting for me

On the other side of this

No truth, no closure

No forgiveness

I clawed my way through hell

Just to find it’s everywhere

If this is all there is

Then nothing matters here

**Verse 2**

Love is just a chemical lie

We tell ourselves to survive

You weren’t special

I was just afraid of being alone

Every memory fades

Every promise rots

We’re just ghosts pretending

We’re not already gone

**Pre-Chorus**

I watched the future die

In real time

Not with violence

Just neglect

**Chorus**

There’s nothing waiting for me

At the end of this road

No light, no lesson

Just a hole

I screamed into the void

And it sounded like home

If this is all there is

Then let it fucking go

**Bridge (low, venomous scream)**

WE PRETEND IT MEANS SOMETHING

SO WE DON’T BREAK

WE CALL IT LOVE

SO WE CAN TOLERATE

THE FACT THAT WE’RE ALONE

AND ALWAYS WERE

JUST MEAT AND MEMORY

HEADING FOR DIRT

**Breakdown (spoken, hollow)**

I don’t want to be saved

I don’t want to be seen

I don’t want a reason

I just want the noise to stop

**Breakdown (full scream)**

NO GOD

NO PURPOSE

NO GRAND DESIGN

JUST TIME

KILLING TIME

UNTIL WE DIE

**Final Chorus (detached, almost numb)**

There’s nothing waiting for me

No peace in letting go

No grand finale

No control

I survived every ending

Just to prove it’s all the same

If nothing has meaning

Then I won’t feel ashamed

**Outro (whispered, empty)**

I’m not broken

This is just what’s left
