This Doesn't Feel Like Dying

I woke up in the aftermath

Still breathing, still alone

The pain was soft and distant

Like a place I once called home

I thought the end would feel like silence

But it's louder than before

I'm walking through the ruins

Still searching for the door

This doesn't feel like dying

It's colder than it should

I'm stitched together sideways

Still pretending that I'm good

I thought I'd feel the ending

But it never made a sound

This doesn't feel like dying

Just slowly breaking down

Just slowly breaking down

I wear the scars like armor

But they never fit me right

I smile like I remember

Before I lost the fight

I keep waiting for the silence

But it never comes for me

I'm not gone, I'm just unraveling

In slow velocity

This doesn't feel like dying

It's quieter than pain

I'm stitched into the moment

But nothing feels the same

I thought I'd feel the ending

But it never made a sound

This doesn't feel like dying

Just slowly breaking down

Just slowly breaking down
