I packed my bags and left my name Chased a dream that felt so fake These lights don't warm, they only blind I lost my spark, I lost my mind I wear this mask so I can cry No voice, just silence passing by The worst of them share blood with me And still, I'm gasping just to breathe This city isn't mine These people never see The light that used to shine Is gone inside of me I'm tired, I'm fading out Can't find a place to be This crowd just leaves me cold And I'm not who I used to be The mirror doesn't know my face My joy erased without a trace Their smiles are sharp, their words are sweet But nothing here feels real to me No song escapes my lips today Just echoes of the pain I hide I hide behind this empty stage And hope that something comes alive This city isn't mine These hearts don't beat for me I walk these roads alone Still longing to feel free My eyes don't shine like fire They flicker quietly I don't belong right here With people I can't reach
