Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Some mornings trick me into thinking I’m okay
Sunlight crawls in like it’s begging me to stay
But by noon I’m sinking through the floor of my own skull
Every thought is a fist, every breath feels dull
I’m tracing old wounds like a gravekeeper charting tombs
Trying to carve out peace in a mind that never blooms
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m sick of this war inside my ribs
Sick of waking up to the same apocalypse
(Chorus)
I just wanna feel better in my head
Not fight ghosts the second I get out of bed
Some days I’m stable, some days I break
I’m tired of surviving on whatever hope I can fake
Why can’t one good day fucking stay?
Why’s my brain hell-bent on burning me away?
(Verse 2)
My notebook’s full of promises I never had the strength to keep
Dreams I wrote at 4 a.m. because I was too scared to sleep
I say “I’m fine” so no one hears the panic in my breath
It’s easier to lie than explain how close I feel to death
I’m exhausted from pretending that I’m healing at all
I’m a cracked foundation waiting for the next collapse to fall
(Pre-Chorus)
And I hate how the battles no one sees
Are the ones that fucking bleed the most from me
(Chorus)
I just wanna feel better in my head
Not fight shadows that live under my skin instead
Some days I’m steady, some days I’m dust
Some days hope feels real, most days it’s just rust
Why does every breath feel like a war?
Why can’t my mind let me want more?
(Bridge)
Hope’s not a sunrise, it’s a flicker in the ruins
A match trying to light in the wind of everything I’ve been through
But maybe if I grip it with both shaking hands
I’ll survive long enough to understand
(Final Chorus)
I just wanna feel better in my head
Not choke on the thoughts I’ve come to dread
Some days are mercy, most days are pain
But I’m still here, dragging myself through the rain
Maybe good days don’t stay, but they still come back
And maybe that’s enough to keep me alive through the cracks.
