Lyrics
[Verse 1 – soft, eerie, detached]
Woke up staring through the ceiling
Can’t tell if I’m breathing or just stealing
Another day I don’t remember choosing
A body moving with a mind that’s losing
Mirror shows a stranger in my skin
Same fake smile I’ve been painting in
Voices talk but I don’t hear them right
Life’s a movie where I forgot my lines
[Chorus – heavy, distorted vocals layered with screams]
I’m dead behind the eyes
Nothing left, but I still survive
Can’t feel the fire or the frost
Just counting days I already lost
Dead behind the eyes
Screaming in a world that’s gone blind
You think I’m fine—
But I’m dying inside
[Verse 2 – building aggression]
Hands shake when I hold the truth
But I wear my silence like a noose
You scroll past like I’m not here
But every crack’s a scream you’ll never hear
Tried pills, prayers, poison too
Still can’t feel like I used to do
Heart beats but it don’t belong
Just background noise in a dying song
[Bridge – spoken word, echoing]
I walk through crowds like smoke through air
Invisible weight, too numb to care
They laugh, they live, they scream and fight
I blink and fade back into night
[Breakdown – raw screams and dissonant guitars]
Dead!
Dead!
Dead behind the eyes!
Watch me rot in a glass disguise!
Smile for the frame, choke on the pain—
Numb never felt so insane!
[Final Chorus – all-out emotional explosion]
I’m dead behind the eyes
But I swear I’m still alive
One breath from breaking wide
Still lost in this hell I hide
Dead behind the eyes
But I’m clawing through the lies
If you see me drown—
Just know I tried.
[Outro – slow fading distortion, whisper]
(If you see me drown… just know I tried…)
