I watched the clouds drift past the glass
Staring at a world where you’re the only thing missing
I was fragile, just catching a ride on the wind
Clutching a heavy piece of iron
Fighting a war, refusing to run
I locked eyes with the demons I had to face
Keeping my gaze steady, never looking away
Even when it felt like my eyes were burning to ash
Then I hit the wall, head-on
Living a life where every breath scars me
Is it really worth it, even if it turns into gold?
Every single day, my thoughts are anchored to you
Living through the feeling of breaking apart
I was so desperate to be the one bleeding
That I pushed away every hand reaching out for me
Trying to claim this life as mine and mine alone
But all I found was a transparent wall
Standing between me and the life I tried to live
Burning illusions onto camera film
The only way I knew how to survive
I kept feeding myself these beautiful lies
But I think I’ve finally given up on the ghost
It doesn’t matter how bright the star shines
Selling out yourself, selling out your friends
Just for a photograph that pays the bills
How can we even dare to call that"soul"?
An actor who can’t even offer a flicker of hope
One day, your voice won't reach a single heart
Everything with a shape is destined to shatter
If this photo can be a crutch for a stranger’s heart
If it gives them a reason to breathe, then maybe it’s enough
But trying to live on nothing but memories
Left me choking, gasping for air that isn’t there
I was searching for a light that belonged only to me
If I can’t save the world, I’m the one who has to change
I was living like I was the only soul left on earth
Was there ever enough value in it?
Trading your trauma for a pocket full of silver
Someone gets hurt, then you get hurt too
And all you’re left holding
Is a single notification of a wire transfer
Is this really what your soul
Was screaming for in the dark?
No. No… No
You just wanted to change this world, didn't you?
If I could take everything in this moment
And change the world with these two hands
I’d take the days spent living on ghosts
And wrap them in a joy so loud it drowns the grief
I want to fly through a sky that’s finally free
But I know... that’s just a dream that won't come true
Every single day, my thoughts are anchored to you
Living through the feeling of breaking apart
I was so desperate to be the one bleeding
That I pushed away every hand reaching out for me
Trying to claim this life as mine and mine alone
But all I found was a transparent wall
Standing between me and the life I tried to live
Kept my heart fixed only on you
Only on you
