NOTHING REAL

VERSE 1

I wake up every morning in a body I don’t own

Walking through the motions like I’m already gone

The mirror shows a stranger with familiar eyes

And I keep asking questions that get swallowed by the lies

I built these walls so high I can’t remember why

Fed the quiet monsters just to keep them occupied

Now the days are blurring into one long endless night

And I’m still here pretending that I’m fine

PRE-CHORUS

The silence is screaming, the pressure is building

I’m running out of places left to hide

CHORUS

Where do I begin when everything is broken

How do I find my way through the smoke and the noise

I’m buried underneath the weight of words unspoken

Screaming at the ruins of a life I destroyed

I’m still searching

Still reaching

For a truth that I can feel

Before there’s nothing left of me

Before there’s nothing real

VERSE 2

I traded all my fire for this hollow kind of calm

Learned to kill my instincts with a smile and open palms

Every promise that I made got buried in the sand

Now I’m digging through the dirt trying to find who I am

The voices get louder when the lights go down

They tell me I’m a failure, that I’ll never turn around

But something in my chest still refuses to lay down

Like a heartbeat fighting not to drown

PRE-CHORUS

The silence is screaming, the pressure is building

I’m running out of places left to hide

CHORUS

Where do I begin when everything is broken

How do I find my way through the smoke and the noise

I’m buried underneath the weight of words unspoken

Screaming at the ruins of a life I destroyed

I’m still searching

Still reaching

For a truth that I can feel

Before there’s nothing left of me

Before there’s nothing real

BRIDGE

I don’t know who I am anymore

But I know who I refuse to be

Even if it tears me apart

I won’t disappear quietly

FINAL CHORUS

Where do I begin when everything is broken

I’m done running from the pain I’ve been holding

Tearing down the walls I built to stay protected

This time I’m stepping into everything I rejected

I’m still searching

Still reaching

For the man I used to know

Even if it hurts like hell

I’m not letting go
