Lyrics
I wear this skin like rusted chains, Every heartbeat tastes like pain. Hands once warm now barely move, Touching scars I cannot prove. Silence coils around my chest, Like a prayer that’s lost its breath. I still bleed though I don’t cry, I still live though I don’t try. And I ask myself again... Is this living, or pretend? These wounds that never sleep, They echo when I breathe. I fade like dying light, Too tired to stand and fight. If I could feel again, Just one heartbeat without shame... Would I still choose to be Buried inside of me? Empty bottles, brittle bones, Rooms filled up with dial tones. Memories like broken glass, Cut me when the daylight cracks. I burned bridges just for warmth, Lost myself in every storm. Now I'm just a hollow throne, Built from sins I call my own. And I scream inside my head... Is it worth it if I’m dead? These wounds that never sleep, They echo when I breathe. I fade like dying light, Too numb to make it right. If I could feel again, Just one moment free from pain... Would I still choose this cage, Or let it all erase? There's no crown for the broken, No throne for the ashamed. Only mirrors full of strangers Who still whisper my name. Tear me open...let it pour. Maybe I’ll feel something more. Let it hurt. Let it burn. Before I’m past the point of no return. These wounds that never sleep, Sing me down into the deep. If I could feel again, Would I still choose this end? Or break the spell I’ve kept... And finally forgive myself? I wear this skin like rusted chains… But I am still here.
