Lyrics
No breath on the glass
I tried to leave a fingerprint…
Nothing ever lasts
I walk through the hallway
But nobody turns
The air doesn’t move
And nothing ever burns
I called out my name
Just to see if it stayed
But it fell to the floor…
Like it wasn’t made
They keep saying I’m here
But I’m not convinced
I’ve been fading so long
I don’t know where I went
Don’t bury me… I already left
Don’t pray for me… I lost myself
You see a body, I see a shell
I’m standing here… but I’m somewhere else
I eat but I’m starving
I sleep but don’t dream
My shadow don’t follow
Or maybe that’s me
I pressed on my chest
Just to feel anything
But silence is louder
Than any heartbeat
They keep saying “you’re fine”
But they don’t feel this
I’m a ghost in my skin
Trying hard to exist
Don’t bury me… I already left
Don’t cry for me… there’s nothing left
You hold my hand, it’s cold as hell
I’m standing here… but I’m somewhere else
If I’m still alive…
Why can’t I feel it?
If I’m still here…
Why can’t I prove it?
Maybe I slipped
Between breath and belief
Maybe I died…
And forgot to leave
Don’t bury me… I already left
Don’t speak my name… it won’t connect
You see a man, I see farewell
I’m standing here…
…but I’m somewhere else
No pulse in the mirror…
No breath on the glass…
