Lyrics
Verse 1
I built these walls with quiet hands
Swallowed the screams until they turned to sand
Every sharp edge I used to bleed
Now just a memory I no longer need
The silence is kind, they said
A velvet grave for everything I bled
So I let the color drain from my veins
And called the gray my safest place
Pre-Chorus
But peace came wearing gloves of ice
And I paid the price
Chorus
I traded fire for this frostbitten calm
Lost the hurt, but the joy bled out in my palm
I’m breathing, I’m breathing, but I’m not alive
Emotional anesthesia — the perfect lie
I can’t feel the fall, can’t feel the rise
Can’t even recognize my own eyes
Who am I beneath this perfect sky of nothing?
Nothing… nothing… nothing… nothing…
Verse 2
The laughter died without a sound
Like autumn leaves pushed underground
I reach for rage, I reach for tears
But nothing answers — just these years
I used to burn, I used to break
Now I’m porcelain that never shakes
They call it healing, I call it theft
The thief who stole the heart still beating in my chest
Pre-Chorus
This quiet is a beautiful cage
But beauty is just another grave
Chorus
I traded fire for this frostbitten calm
Lost the hurt, but the joy bled out in my palm
I’m breathing, I’m breathing, but I’m not alive
Emotional anesthesia — the perfect lie
I can’t feel the fall, can’t feel the rise
Can’t even recognize my own eyes
Who am I beneath this perfect sky of nothing?
Nothing
Bridge
(Scream-sung, raw)
WAKE ME UP!
Rip the gauze from these open wounds!
I’d rather bleed than disappear in you
I’d rather scream than never feel the truth
Let it hurt — God, let it hurt —
Just let me feel something new!
Final Chorus – layered, desperate
I traded fire for this frostbitten calm
But the ashes are calling me back to the harm
I’m breathing, I’m bleeding, I’m starting to fight
Emotional anesthesia — I’m done tonight
I want the fall, I want the rise
I want the storm behind my eyes
I’ll burn, I’ll break, I’ll scream, I’ll cry
Just give me back my life…
Give me back my life…
Outro – whispered, fading
The danger was never the pain
It was learning to live without it…
And calling that peace.
