Under the Light

Under the Light
Verse 1
I woke up with a weight in my chest again
Same ceiling, same cracks, same medicine
Every voice in my head’s got a name for me
None of them sound like who I’m supposed to be
There’s a clock on the wall but it don’t move right
Every second just drags through the same long night
And I’m stuck in between who I was and now
Trying to breathe but I don’t know how
Pre-Chorus
And I’m pacing these walls like they’re closing in
Every step just echoes where I’ve been
I keep looking for a way to change the end
But I’m lost in the loop I’m living in
Chorus
I don’t wanna disappear tonight
But I don’t feel real in this skin I’m in
Something’s breaking under the light
And I don’t know where the hell to begin
I’m holding on but it’s getting tight
Like I’m slipping through my own two hands
I don’t wanna disappear tonight
But I don’t know if I even can
Verse 2
Got a mirror but I don’t recognize the face
Just a shadow in a borrowed space
All the noise keeps ringing in my ears
Like a countdown I’ve been dodging for years
Every memory’s a blurred-out frame
Like I lived it once but it’s not the same
And the silence hits louder than any scream
When I’m caught somewhere in between
Pre-Chorus
And I’m screaming but it’s all inside
Like a war I can’t outrun or hide
Every part of me’s trying to divide
From the truth I keep pushing aside
Chorus
I don’t wanna disappear tonight
But I don’t feel real in this skin I’m in
Something’s breaking under the light
And I don’t know where the hell to begin
I’m holding on but it’s getting tight
Like I’m slipping through my own two hands
I don’t wanna disappear tonight
But I don’t know if I even can
Bridge
If I fall, will I finally feel something?
If I run, will it follow me down?
Every road leads me back to the same thing—
Trying not to drown
And I swear there’s a spark somewhere underneath
All the doubt and the broken pieces of me
If it’s still there, I just need a sign
That I’m more than this state of mind
Break (soft / stripped)
Maybe I don’t need to have it all figured out
Maybe breathing right now is enough somehow
Maybe staying is louder than giving in
Even if I don’t know where to begin
Final Chorus (bigger)
I don’t wanna disappear tonight
Even if I don’t feel right in my skin
Something’s shaking under the light
But maybe that’s where I begin
I’m still holding on through the fight
Even when I don’t understand
I don’t wanna disappear tonight
I just wanna feel again
Outro
I’m still here… I’m still here…
Even if it don’t feel right
I’m still here… I’m still here…
