Soul In a Box

Woke up in the same skin, worn and cracked

Another day of faking what I lack

Breathing out the ghost of who I was

Staring down the mirror, feelin' lost because-

There's nothin' left that I call "me"

Just a flicker where a fire used to be

I smile for you, but it's a mask

I carry on, but don't you dare ask

I'm alive and walkin', but the spark is gone

My soul's in a box, six feet too long

Don't think I haven't thought it, don't think I'm blind

I'm only still here 'cause you're still mine

I'm a soul in a box, no light, no flame

Trapped in a shell that whispers my name

I'm a shadow with a heartbeat, nothin' more to give

But I drag these chains, so you can live

Don't cry for me-I'm already dead

Just a ghost with skin, walkin' on regret

Can't feel the highs, I just fake the lows

On autopilot, nobody knows

My eyes look open, but they don't see

I'm not really here, just where I need to be

You keep me tethered to this pain

A lifeline strung through acid rain

I'd fall forever, let it end

But I stay for you-my only friend

I'm alive and walkin', but the spark is gone

My soul's in a box, singin' the same old song

Don't think I haven't thought it, I've been on that ledge

I'm only still here to hold your edge

I'm a soul in a box, no light, no flame

Trapped in a shell that whispers my name

I'm a shadow with a heartbeat, nothin' more to give

But I drag these chains, so you can live

Don't cry for me-I'm already dead

Just a ghost with skin, walkin' on regret

If I could feel again, I'd scream

If I could dream again, I'd dream

But I'm stuck in a loop, stuck in the grey

Just playin' a role till I fade away

This isn't living-it's barely breath

But I'll carry you 'til there's nothin' left

Buried alive inside my skin

The war is quiet, but I can't win

I'm not okay-don't need to pretend
