Darker

I left my room today
Heart in my hand, you turned away
Eyes wide, breath held
You stared like I was something else

You drew the line
I crossed it once, you made it mine
You dressed in noise
But I heard the hate behind your voice

I reached, you flinched
I spoke, you winced
I gave you light, you dimmed it twice
I bled, you stared
I hoped, you never cared
I opened up
Built me up

Why do you look like love from far
But up close, you burn like a dying star?
I walked your streets, you shut the doors
Why do you shine for everyone else
But turn to shadow when I yell?
I screamed your name, you stayed stone still
You call it strength
But it just kills

I was a fool, I see it now
I tried to fit, but don’t know how
You gave me rules, you changed the game
Then laughed and told me I'm to blame

I called you light, you showed me dark
You led me blindly through the spark
I built a bridge, you burned it fast
You said: Move on, then cursed my past

I wore a smile you wouldn’t see
I broke myself to make you free
I sang your name like it meant peace
You turned around and called police

I chased your wind, I played your part
You broke my hands and called it art
You told me: Dream, then stole my sleep
You taught me silence runs too deep

You dressed in gold, but spoke in stone
And left me stranded on my own
Still I believed, I tried, I cried
And all you did was watch me die

Seatbelt on but nothing's tight
Pressure rising, losing light
Windows shake, the engines cry
No one speaks, we just ask why

Clouds below and fear above
Prayers whispered out to gods we shoved
Oxygen masks drop like shame
Feels like I'm the one to blame

Let it fall, let the sky break
I’d rather crash than be that fake
Don’t bring me back, don’t dig me out
That ghost is gone without a doubt

If this is how the story ends
Then let it burn, don’t just pretend
I’d rather break than be reborn
So let this be my final flight
I’ve fought too long to fake it right
I won’t return to hollow skin
To live for them is not to win

Smoke in the sky (smoke in the sky)
No sign of calm (no sign of calm)
Words like knives inside my palm
He wore truth like second skin
But every word was soaked in sin

He’s a liar (he’s a liar)
He’s on fire (he’s on fire)
Spits out curses like a preacher’s choir
He’s a witch (he’s a witch)
Twists every marker
So light the match
Let’s go get darker (let’s go get darker)
