Lyrics

I walked into your light,
Thinking I could disappear.
Your world was made of silver words,
Mine was rust and fear.
Every mirror cuts my skin,
Shows the fractures deep within.
And I’m choking on the truth...
I was never meant for you.

Why does your smile
Feel like a funeral hymn?

’Cause I’m out of place,
I don’t belong here.
I’m the crack in the glass,
You pretend not to see.
I’m out of place,
A ghost in your atmosphere...
I would tear off my skin
Just to feel like I’m real.

You shine like sacred fire,
And I’m crawling in the ash.
I tried to learn the way you breathe,
But I break with every gasp.
I don’t want to fade away,
But I don’t know how to stay.
You touch the stars with steady hands,
I just sink into the sand.

Why does your voice
Feel like a distant prayer?

’Cause I’m out of place,
I don’t belong here.
I’m the blood on the page
That no one wants to read.
I’m out of place,
A fracture in your sphere...
I would carve out my heart
Just to know I’m alive.

If I were holy, if I were pure,
Would you let me through your door?
If I could steal a different face,
Would I finally earn this place?

Break me.
Replace me.
Build me from your light.
Erase me.
Deface me.
I’ll never be what’s right.

I’m out of place,
I don’t belong here.
Just a shadow in the crowd
That no one ever sees.
I’m out of place,
Still begging to draw near...
I would burn in your sun
Just to feel like I’m real.

I was never real.
