Heavy clouds, mind's a storm I can't outpace
Tears on my cheek, running laps in this empty space
Mirror tells lies, or maybe it’s me
Every path I take feels like a dead-end street

Thought I’d find answers in the glow of my phone
Scrolling through lives, but I’m still on my own
Heart's in my throat, voice drowned in the noise
Searching for a sign, just static, no choice

Every move, second-guessed
Every breath, feels compressed

Don’t know what to do, where to go, who to be
Lost in the fog, can’t even see me
Echoes in my head, they won't leave me alone
I’m screaming for directions, but the map's overthrown

Tried to draw a line, but the ink just fades
Dreams turn to shadows in the mess I’ve made
Walking through the dark, no stars in the sky
Every step feels shallow, no wings to fly

Voices whisper "stay," but the ground ain't safe
Running in circles, can't escape my own face
Tried to fake smiles, but they slip through my teeth
Crumbling like sand, my soul underneath
