The clock ticks slow but my heart beats fast

Shadows creep where the light won’t last

Every step feels heavier than the past

Is this the last goodbye I’ll ever say

Will the night take the weight of my day

If I fall will the stars light my way

A cracked mirror holds my shattered face

The pieces cut but they leave no trace

I scream for help but silence takes its place

I reach for something I can’t define

A rope a thread a fragile line

Is this the last goodbye I’ll ever say

Will the night take the weight of my day

If I fall will the stars light my way

If the end is near does it feel like peace

Or a thief in the dark that won’t release

I hold my breath to feel the cease

The sky ain't crying

But I am tonight

The clock keeps ticking

It don’t feel right

I built a house of cards

Now it’s tumbling down

No king

No queen

Just a paper crown

I reach for a hand that ain’t even there

A silent room echoes my prayer

But I’m breaking the fall

I’m catching the flame

Holding the edge

Whispering my name

Not ending it all

Not fading away

I’m breaking the fall

I’m choosing to stay

The mirror’s cracked but it still sees me

A thousand shards

A thousand stories

The road’s been dark

But I see a spark

A tiny ember lighting the stark

Cause I’m breaking the fall

I’m catching the flame

Holding the edge

Whispering my name

Not ending it all

Not fading away

I’m breaking the fall

I’m choosing to stay

Every shadow has its sun

Every battle’s just begun

If I’m breathing

I’m not done

I’m not done
