I watch the ceiling falling slowly
But my chest stays quiet again
Everybody asks what I'm feeling
So I fake another answer for them

Streetlights blur across my window
Like memories I can't hold tight
There's an ocean stuck inside me
But I forgot how to cry at night

I wanna bleed out words
But silence fills my veins
Like my heart is still beating
Just too far away

I don't know the name of this pain
Or the emptiness under my skin
Everybody feels something real
Why was I born numb within?

If I shattered into pieces
Maybe then they'd finally see
I'm drowning somewhere inside me
Without knowing what I feel honestly

Old photographs look unfamiliar
Like I never belonged back then
Smiles hanging crooked in frames
Trying to hide where the rust begins

I wanted love like in the movies
But everything fades into gray
Kisses turn cold like smoke in winter
And no arms can make me stay

Maybe I'm only static
From a radio losing sound
Trying to translate chaos
That never comes out loud

I don't know the name of this pain
Or the emptiness under my skin
Everybody feels something real
Why was I born numb within?

If I shattered into pieces
Maybe then they'd finally see
I'm drowning somewhere inside me
Without knowing what I feel honestly

And when the midnight gets heavier
I count the cracks across my floor
Trying to find emotion
In anything at all anymore

But there's only this frozen bedroom
And a heart on autopilot
Beating without passion
Like some mathematical violence

If there's a way to teach someone
How to truly feel alive
Let me fall asleep believing
There's still something left inside
