Verse
Check, every word is a wire and I’m tripped up
Caught in the middle of a script I can’t trust
Play the part, keep the peace, hold the line
But this moral high ground is a mountain I can’t climb
Obligation, heavy debt, hollow vow
Suffocating under who I’m supposed to be now
Different worlds, different eyes, different truth
Tired of stitching up the seams of polite abuse
It’s not a fight, it’s a structural fail
I’m a ghost in a house that’s already for sale
Pre-Chorus
Holding my breath… till there’s nothing left
Letting it go… you already know
Chorus
I’M EMPTY — nothing left inside to break
I’M WAITING — for the truth to finally take
Buried alive by the right thing to do
But the hardest part of leaving is being honest with you
I’m fading out… inside the shadow of doubt
Verse
Back and forth, circling the drain again
Same fight, different night, where did the pain begin
You see tomorrow — I see the end
Can’t fake being who you want me to pretend
Cage made of shoulds and musts and maybes
Silence screaming, driving me crazy
Truth coming cold, no filter, no disguise
Anchor too heavy and I’m losing the line
No more excuses, no more trying to pretend
The debt is paid, this is the end
Pre-Chorus
Holding my breath… till there’s nothing left
Letting it go… I’M LETTING GO
Chorus
I’M EMPTY — nothing left inside to break
I’M WAITING — for the truth to finally take
Buried alive by the right thing to do
But the hardest part of leaving is being honest with you
Bridge
Unspoken words filling up the room
Every silent moment digging the tomb
Everything we didn’t say is screaming inside
Everything we didn’t say is where we died
Breakdown
CAN’T BREATHE
CAN’T BREATHE
TELL ME THE TRUTH
TELL ME THE TRUTH
Pressure rising
Walls closing in
Say it out loud
Let it end
Final Chorus
I’M EMPTY — but I’m finally awake
I’M BREAKING — every chain I couldn’t shake
You buried me with the right thing to do
Now I’m walking away from the wreckage of you
I’m fading out… but I’m finally free
Outro
The weight is gone… the air is cold
I’m breaking free… out of the mold
It’s over now…
It’s over now…
