[Verse 1]  
It’s quiet now, but you still stay  
Even when I push you away  
You see the storm inside my head  
And calm the words I should’ve said

[Pre-Chorus]  
I lose my cool, I cross that line  
You pull me close, say we’ll be fine  
Through every fight, through every night  
You’re still right here, you’re by my side

[Chorus]  
I feel the beast in my reflection  
Tearing through my own confession  
Didn’t mean to let the darkness win  
But I did, yeah, I did  
Now your voice is my obsession  
Echoes of my own transgression  
Can’t erase the things I didn’t mend  
Guess I’m the monster in the end

[Verse 2]  
Your voice cuts through the noise and doubt  
You help me breathe the chaos out  
Every scar I tried to hide  
You trace them soft and call me “mine”

[Pre-Chorus]  
I lose my cool, I cross that line  
You pull me close, say we’ll be fine  
Through every storm, through every night  
You’re still right here, you’re by my side

[Chorus]  
I feel the beast in my reflection  
Tearing through my own confession  
Didn’t mean to let the darkness win  
But I did, yeah, I did  
Now your voice is my obsession  
Echoes of my own transgression  
Can’t erase the things I didn’t mend  
Guess I’m the monster in the end

[Bridge]  
You see the fire, but you don’t run  
You find the good inside the wrong I’ve done  
You take the rage and turn it calm  
You make the monster fall apart  
And in your arms, I’m human again

[Guitar & Violin solo]

[Chorus]  
I feel the beast in my reflection  
Tearing through my own confession  
Didn’t mean to let the darkness win  
But I did, yeah, I did  
Now your voice is my obsession  
Echoes of my own transgression  
Can’t erase the things I didn’t mend  
Guess I’m the monster in the end

The Beast In My Reflection

[Intro]
You wrote your heart in broken lines,  
I read the pain between each rhyme.  
You said you’re healing, but I still see  
The part of me you couldn’t keep.

[Verse 1]
You begged for a second chance to make things right,  
While I spent my nights just trying to survive.  
You saw my smile and thought I was okay —  
But I was losing sleep, slipping away.

You said my eyes were the color of coffee,  
But yours were storms I kept inside.  
And every word you left behind  
Still echoes through my fragile mind.

[Pre-Chorus] 
I cared too much, that’s where I broke,  
You carried pain, and I inhaled the smoke.

[Chorus]
You wrote your love, I wrote my end,  
We’re just letters we’ll never send.  
You reached for me, I pulled away,  
Two broken hearts in disarray.  
You said forever, I said goodbye,  
Now all we do is wonder why.  
You loved too hard, I lost my way,  
And that truth still kills me today.

[Verse 2]
You said you still kept that photograph,  
But I burned our summer in my past.  
Not out of hate, but to let go,  
Of the weight we couldn’t control.

You saw forever in every glance,  
I saw goodbye in every chance.  
You call it fate, I call it pain —  
We were fire drowning in the rain.

[Pre-Chorus]
You said you’d change, I know you tried,  
But I lost myself keeping you alive.

[Chorus]
You wrote your love, I wrote my end,  
We’re just letters we’ll never send.  
You reached for me, I pulled away,  
Two broken hearts in disarray.  
You said forever, I said goodbye,  
Now all we do is wonder why.  
You loved too hard, I lost my way,  
And that truth still kills me today.

[Verse 3]
I see your name when the night turns still,  
A quiet ache I can’t quite kill.  
You said I’m peace, but I was fire,  
And love like ours burns out, then tires.

I replay every word you said,  
They echo soft inside my head.  
We built a world we couldn’t save,  
Now all that’s left is what we gave.

[Pre-Chorus]
And though it hurts, I’ll set you free —  
What’s gone is gone, but it shaped me.

[Chorus]
You wrote your love, I wrote my end,  
We’re just letters we’ll never send.  
You reached for me, I pulled away,  
Two broken hearts in disarray.  
You said forever, I said goodbye,  
Now all we do is wonder why.  
You loved too hard, I lost my way,  
And that truth still kills me today.

[Bridge]
3 Paths, Same End — I took mine alone.  
Orange glow skies — I watched it fade gold.  
We were never meant to cross again,  
But I still pray you find your home.

[Break]

[Final Chorus]
You wrote your love, I wrote my end,  
We’re just letters we’ll never send.  
You reached for me, I pulled away,  
Two broken hearts in disarray.  
You said forever, I said goodbye,  
Now all we do is wonder why.  
You loved too hard, I lost my way,  
And that truth still kills me today.

You wrote your love, I wrote my end,  
We’re just letters we’ll never send.  
You reached for me, I pulled away,  
Two broken hearts in disarray.  
You said forever, I said goodbye,  
Now all we do is wonder why.  
You loved too hard, I lost my way,  
And that truth still kills me today.

Her Response

[Chorus]
They fell apart beneath that sky,
Orange clouds and tired eyes.
She needed peace, he needed pain,
To see why love can’t stay the same.
He walks the streets they once both knew,
Each corner hums her quiet tune.
And though she’s gone, he feels it too —
There’s healing still in losing you.

[Verse 1]
She said her heart was tired and sore,
That all his storms became her war.
He meant no harm, he tried to care,
But left his chaos everywhere.
Their laughter cracked beneath the weight,
Of all the things they couldn’t say.
He let her go, he watched her fade,
Still holding on to what they made.

[Chorus]
They fell apart beneath that sky,
Orange clouds and tired eyes.
She needed peace, he needed pain,
To see why love can’t stay the same.
He walks the streets they once both knew,
Each corner hums her quiet tune.
And though she’s gone, he feels it too —
There’s healing still in losing you.

[Verse 2]
He kept her note, her gentle tone,
The kind of love you can’t outgrow.
He never blamed her when she left,
He only blamed what he had kept.
Now every night he looks above,
And thanks the ghost of what was love.
The pain is calm, the noise subdued,
Her memory feels like something new.

[Chorus]
They fell apart beneath that sky,
Orange clouds and tired eyes.
She needed peace, he needed pain,
To see why love can’t stay the same.
He walks the streets they once both knew,
Each corner hums her quiet tune.
And though she’s gone, he feels it too —
There’s healing still in losing you.

[Bridge]
Three paths, one end — they reached the shore.
The waves still hum, but not like before.
And in the glow of fading light,
He learned that endings can feel right.

[Chorus]
They fell apart beneath that sky,
Orange clouds and tired eyes.
She needed peace, he needed pain,
To see why love can’t stay the same.
He walks the streets they once both knew,
Each corner hums her quiet tune.
And though she’s gone, he feels it too —
There’s healing still in losing you.

Their Conclusion

[Chorus]
You only wanted my Novocaine
To take the edge off all your pain
You said you loved me in the haze
But I was just your quick escape
You only needed my Novocaine
A temporary, soft embrace
You never healed, you just erased
And left me fading in your veins

[Verse 1]
You wore my heart like a second skin
Until you shed me off again
You found your comfort in my ache
Just to forget the mess you made
I saw your ghosts inside the glass
You called it love, I called it masks
You said I made you feel alive
But you were running out of light

[Chorus]
You only wanted my Novocaine
To take the edge off all your pain
You said you loved me in the haze
But I was just your quick escape
You only needed my Novocaine
A temporary, soft embrace
You never healed, you just erased
And left me fading in your veins

[Verse 2]
I fought the sickness in your eyes
But every touch just sterilized
You built your truth on borrowed lines
And I believed them every time
You lived inside my silhouette
Your shadow taught me to forget
The way your words could twist my name
And make me beg to feel the same

[Chorus]
You only wanted my Novocaine
To take the edge off all your pain
You said you loved me in the haze
But I was just your quick escape
You only needed my Novocaine
A temporary, soft embrace
You never healed, you just erased
And left me fading in your veins

[Bridge]
You keep me locked inside your bloodstream
Where silence hums like broken dreams
I’m still the calm before your storm
The ghost that keeps your heartbeat warm

[Chorus]
You only wanted my Novocaine
To take the edge off all your pain
You said you loved me in the haze
But I was just your quick escape
You only needed my Novocaine
A temporary, soft embrace
You never healed, you just erased
And left me fading in your veins

Novocaine

[Verse 1]  
I sink into the quiet just to clear my head  
Faking peace in places where I bled  
You said the storm would pass if I just wait  
But I learned to love the sound it makes
I trace the cracks where my heart used to be  
Counting every breath like therapy  
There’s comfort in pretending I’m okay  
I breathe it in and fade away

[Chorus]  
I just need a moment where it doesn’t hurt  
A second where the ache feels worth  
The weight of everything I never said  
The ghosts that sleep inside my bed
I let it out, I let it in  
A softer pain beneath my skin  
I’m learning how to feel again  
Without the fire, without the end

[Verse 2]  
I lie awake and talk to empty rooms  
They listen better than I ever do  
You said that healing’s just a state of mind  
But I keep losing track of time
I hold my breath until it feels like peace  
A fragile calm that never seems to cease  
And even if I fall apart tonight  
At least I know I’m still alive

[Chorus]  
I just need a moment where it doesn’t hurt  
A second where the ache feels worth  
The weight of everything I never said  
The ghosts that sleep inside my bed
I let it out, I let it in  
A softer pain beneath my skin  
I’m learning how to feel again  
Without the fire, without the end

[Bridge]  
If I could freeze this feeling here  
Between the pain and disappearing  
It’s not escape, it’s something near  
A quiet peace I’ve been fearing

[Chorus]  
I just need a moment where it doesn’t hurt  
A second where the ache feels worth  
The weight of everything I never said  
The ghosts that sleep inside my bed
I let it out, I let it in  
A softer pain beneath my skin  
I’m learning how to feel again  
Without the fire, without the end

Copium

[Verse 1]  
I speak your name  
But it burns my throat  
The echoes fade before they reach the sky  
You took my flame  
And you left me cold  
Now I’m the ghost of what you left behind

[Pre-Chorus]  
You said love was meant to hurt  
But I’m drowning in your words  
Every promise tastes like bitter poison  
You built a temple of shame  
And carved your lies in my veins  
Now I’m bleeding for your broken devotion

[Chorus]  
How could you be so hollow  
And still call it love?  
You’re the storm I can’t outrun  
So keep pretending, keep defending  
What was never enough  
You’re the knife behind the sun  
Everyone’s falling for your fever, fever  
You’ll turn the sinner to believer  
How could you be so hollow  
And still call it love?  
You know, yeah, you know  
You’re the ache I can’t let go

[Verse 2]  
You move through me  
Like a quiet curse  
Every breath reminds me what I lost  
You said I’m free  
But it only hurts  
When freedom means forgetting what we cost

[Pre-Chorus]  
You said love was meant to hurt  
But I’m drowning in your words  
Every promise tastes like bitter poison  
You built a temple of shame  
And carved your lies in my veins  
Now I’m bleeding for your broken devotion

[Chorus]  
How could you be so hollow  
And still call it love?  
You’re the storm I can’t outrun  
So keep pretending, keep defending  
What was never enough  
You’re the knife behind the sun  
Everyone’s falling for your fever, fever  
You’ll turn the sinner to believer  
How could you be so hollow  
And still call it love?  
You know, yeah, you know  
You’re the ache I can’t let go

[Bridge]  
(Ohh, ohh) You pull me in just to fade away  
(Ohh, ohh) Your silence cuts deeper than pain  
(Ohh, ohh) If this is love, it’s decay  
And I’m still calling your name

[Chorus]  
How could you be so hollow  
And still call it love?  
You’re the storm I can’t outrun  
So keep pretending, keep defending  
What was never enough  
You’re the knife behind the sun  
Everyone’s falling for your fever, fever  
You’ll turn the sinner to believer  
How could you be so hollow  
And still call it love?  
You know, yeah, you know  
You’re the ache I can’t let go

[Outro]  
You’re hollow…  
And I’m still here inside your shadow  
You’re hollow…  
But I can’t let go
