Stepping back

All this noise got me twisted in my own mind
Voices bouncing, laughing, calling me out
Can't shake it, freaking me out
Late nights, staring at ceilings like they owe me answers
Heart ticking like a bomb I can't disarm
Swiping through memories that haunt me
Ghosts on my chest, refusing to calm

And now I'm folding under pressure I can't name
Trying to breathe, but the pressure lifts me higher

I'm stepping back, yeah, I'm tapping out
Can't hold on, can somebody pull me out?
This weight's dragging me down down, down
Tried one last round, I'm back now
Stepping back, yeah, I'm letting go
Pressure's crushing me, but I can't show
This weight's dragging me down down, down
Tried one last round, I'm back now

I thought your love would be a lighthouse
Guiding me through dark waves
But it was a storm, pulling me under
Every I got you just cut me in half
Gasps for air in a room full of smoke
Every laugh, every touch, a landmine I can't shaft

Can someone lift this off of me?
I'm sagging under all these ghosts, can't break free

I'm stepping back, yeah, I'm tapping out
Can't hold on, can somebody pull me out?
This weight's dragging me down down, down
Tried one last round, I'm back now
Stepping back, yeah, I'm letting go
Pressure's crushing me, but I can't show
This weight's dragging me down down, down
Tried one last round, I'm back now

I trusted you, gave you the sky
All you threw back were shadows
Wish I could unsee the cracks in your eyes
Echoes of love left me hollow
