[Intro]
I try to stand, but the weight’s too much to bear,
Every step I take feels like a trap laid there.
The world keeps spinning, but I’ve fallen out of sync,
And every time I try to breathe, it hurts to think.
[Verse 1]
They say it gets better, but it feels like a lie,
I’m stuck in a loop where I barely scrape by.
Every door I knock on slams in my face,
Every chance I take leaves me more out of place.
I’ve got pennies in my pocket, but the rent’s overdue,
And every dream I had feels a million miles untrue.
I’ve tried to climb higher, but the ladder just breaks,
And every failure carves deeper into the space it takes.
[Chorus]
I’m curled up in the dark, hiding from it all,
Every time I stand, I stumble, and I fall.
I’ve got nothing to my name, just a weight I can’t ignore,
So I roll into a ball, lying broken on the floor.
Can’t fix what’s been shattered, can’t mend what’s been torn,
I’m a shell of a person, battered and worn.
[Verse 2]
I’m the punchline of a joke no one’s brave enough to tell,
Living in a story where the ending’s a hard sell.
Every plan I’ve made crumbles in my hands,
Every step I take sinks deeper into quicksand.
I’ve got a smile for the world, but it’s paper-thin,
A mask I wear to hide the wreckage within.
I’m tired of pretending that I’ve got it together,
When the truth is I’m drowning, caught in stormy weather.
[Chorus]
I’m curled up in the dark, hiding from it all,
Every time I stand, I stumble, and I fall.
I’ve got nothing to my name, just a weight I can’t ignore,
So I roll into a ball, lying broken on the floor.
Can’t fix what’s been shattered, can’t mend what’s been torn,
I’m a shell of a person, battered and worn.
[Bridge]
And I scream at the ceiling, but no one replies,
Just the sound of my failure echoing through the lies.
Every promise I’ve made, every goal I’ve set,
Feels like a debt I owe but can never pay back yet.
The cracks in the walls feel wider than before,
They’re a mirror of the fractures I try to ignore.
But the harder I fight, the further I fall,
Until there’s nothing left but me, curled up small.
[Chorus]
I’m curled up in the dark, hiding from it all,
Every time I stand, I stumble, and I fall.
I’ve got nothing to my name, just a weight I can’t ignore,
So I roll into a ball, lying broken on the floor.
Can’t fix what’s been shattered, can’t mend what’s been torn,
I’m a shell of a person, battered and worn.
[Outro]
So I’ll stay in the dark, where no one can see,
The mess that I’ve become, the wreckage of me.
And if tomorrow comes, I’ll face it the same,
Just a flicker in the void, without a name.
