(The) walls are breathing heavy, closing in around my chest
Every second feels like sinking, like my ribs can't find a rest
The silence turns to violence, tearing through my mind again
I can't escape the feeling that I'm breaking from within

Pain, yeah, it claws at me
Dragging all my thoughts where I don't want to be
I fear the empty nights when nothing fills the space
'Cause nothing hurts much deeper than a hollowed-out place
The cutter's always watching, like it memorized my dread
The edge repeats my failures, every word I never said
The blade is chasing echoes of the person I've become
And no matter how I run, I keep ending where I'm from

And I'm falling, falling fast
While the past keeps pulling me back

I break, even when I fake
Every heartbeat shakes like it's about to quake
Yeah I ache, trying not to cave
Trying not to drown beneath another endless wave
I scream into the dark but it never cares at all
I know it's killing me that I can't escape the fall

I'm stuck inside a loop where every night turns into war
I swear I climb a little, then I crash even more
My breath becomes a warning, trembling down my spine
The shadows start to whisper that I'll never cross the line
The cutter's standing closer, like it's waiting for the slip
Its presence pulls me downward with a tightening grip
The edge keeps calling loudly like it knows I'm losing light
And I'm begging for a moment where I'm not losing the fight

And I'm falling, falling fast
While the past keeps pulling me back

I break, even when I fake
Every heartbeat shakes like it's about to quake
Yeah I ache, trying not to cave
Trying not to drown beneath another endless wave
I scream into the dark but it never cares at all
I know it's killing me that I can't escape the fall

I feel the pressure rising, tearing air out of my lungs
Every thought is heavy like a thousand beating drums
I feel alone in crowds that used to feel like home
No escape, no hand to hold, just a war I face alone
It's hard to see the world when the fear distorts my sight
Hard to speak my truth when my voice fades into night
I'm slipping through the cracks of the person I should be
Terrified that someday there'll be nothing left of me

Pain, yeah, I drown in pain
And I'm praying not to fall into that place again
If the darkness calls, I'll try to stall
Even if I can't escape it all

Drop at night
