FLICKER

Every step feels borrowed

Every breath, a test

I count the cracks in silence

Pretend that it's progress

I celebrate the smallest fal

Like I just survived it all

Tiny winds, fragile flames

But tomorrow feels the same

Why can't I trust myself?

Why do I need your voice to help

Tell me I'm okay, or I'll drown

In this cage I can't tear down

I hold on by a flicker, by a thread

Living half alive, half dead

If hope is a crown, it slips away

But I wear it anyway

I treat the tremor as a song

Just to say I still belong

I break, I bend, I call it fight

But the mirror tells me lies tonight

Why can't I trust myself?

Why do I need your voice to help

Tell me I'm okay, or I'll drown

In this cage I can't tear down

I hold on by a flicker, by a thread

Living half alive, half dead

If hope is a crown, it slips away

But I wear it anyway

I claw, I cling, I break apart

I fake the fire, I fake the spark

Just waiting for someone to say

You're not too far, you're not decay

FUCK

Split the Earth, drag it down

Every Triumph hits the ground

Spit the ash, choke on lies

Hope is nothing, hope just dies

Crush the weight

No words remain

Every chord, repeats the pain

Silence bleeds into stone

Fade into the unknown

Silence bleeds into stone

Fade into the unknown
