A voice that pulls me under

It whispers in the dark but I don't know what it wants from me

I wake up to the sound of my own heartbeat

Echoing like footsteps in an empty street

My hands are shaking but I can't let go

Of all the things I've been afraid to show

The walls are closing in again

And I'm too tired to pretend

I try to breathe but it's never enough

I'm stuck inside my head and it's so rough

Falling through the cracks of my own mind

Where shadows dance and leave me blind

I'm chasing peace but it slips away

Like daylight fading at the end of the day

I see myself in broken mirrors

Each reflection tells a story I can't bear

I wear a smile to hide the pain

But it's written all over my face like rain

The walls are closing in again

And I'm too tired to pretend

I try to breathe but it's never enough

I'm stuck inside my head and it's so rough

Falling through the cracks of my own mind

Where shadows dance and leave me blind

I'm chasing peace but it slips away

Like daylight fading at the end of the day

Maybe I'll find my way back someday

When the noise fades and the light stays

But for now I'm lost in the grey

Hoping tomorrow will bring a new day

Falling through the cracks of my own mind

Where shadows dance and leave me blind

I'm chasing peace but it slips away

Like daylight fading at the end of the day

I hear it in the silence

A voice that pulls me under
