I can hear what you’re not saying
Your silence is so loud
You’ve said enough without breathing a word
I don’t need you to speak to hear how you feel
Just need some time alone,
Steady on the brink
Sick of always feeling every single thing you think
The fake you is as real as it gets
False built facade
This ain’t even worth it
Spotlight in the dark,
I’m searching for my purpose
Questioning what is actually worth it
Spinnin in my head,
The chemicals won’t let me to go to bed
Damaged soul, broken mind
my heart black as ink
What you see when you look at me
Isint what you think
Beachfront penthouse for a week
Been up all night every night trying to fall asleep
Blacked out start to finish,
Beginning till the end
Drinkin all day everyday
My demons trying to turn me into their friend
Looking down on me as I’m floatin on the ceiling
Crushin pills that I ain’t even feelin
Off on the acid, rolling on the e
Vision so blurred I can’t even see
Phone ringin off the hook
Texts keep asking when we gunna meet
It ain’t worth the save
Ultra marathon goin straight to the grave
Need some kind of change,
But it’s just what it is
All the pain deep down is secretly where the love is
Introverted self saying I ain’t worth your time
I’m half a 2 and you’re twice a dime
Smile like a bullet
Shatter me like glass
The universe ripples when you shake that ass
Being told I’m the best
Signing my name on your best friends chest
You say I’m nothing but we both know I’m less
I guess I’m going crazy
You make me hate it all
Throwin out this deck cards to see where they all fall
You never were about it
Everything is so messed up
Why even try
Fact of the matter is the truth don’t lie
It was all fake, everything I felt
Taken out at the knees
Self judgement hit below the belt
Never thought that how it is
Was the way it’s going to be
As damaged as they come,
Instinct is to leave
You try to love me
And I split the scene
Still a trip that you even wanted to know my name
and that we ever made it so far
Let you build a tower in my heart
Stood back to watch it fall
Tore it all down
Right in front of our eyes
Digging through the rubble
Until my fingers bleed
Only Me, Myself, and I is all I’ll ever be
The silence is deafening
I’d rather hear the screams
Give me an auditory clue
To what you actually mean
Need a magnifying glass
Just to find a sign
So we can both stop guessing
So we can see what isn’t real
The silence is deafening
But I can no longer hear at all
Yet everything you never said
I still can feel it all
