Sobriety
[Verse 1]
I woke up in a body I don’t recognize
Every nerve screaming truths I tried to hide
No more numb, no more blur, no disguise
Just the wreckage staring back through my eyes
Hands shaking like they know what I’ve done
Every second feels like miles I gotta run
From the echo, from the ghost I became
From the comfort I found drowning in shame
[Pre-Chorus]
I used to fade away just to feel okay
Now the silence cuts deeper every day
[Chorus]
I’m crawling out of the static in my head
Every lie I believed is dead
No escape, no mask, no way to pretend
This is where I break to bend
I’m choking on the truth I tried to bury alive
Every breath feels like I barely survive
But I won’t go back, I won’t descend
I’ll tear myself apart to mend
[Verse 2]
Skin too tight, like I’m trapped underneath
Every heartbeat pounding down on my teeth
No relief, no release, no control
Just the weight of everything I used to fold
I hear voices telling me to give in
Saying “one more step back won’t be a sin”
But I know that lie, I’ve worn that chain
Every promise just circles back to pain
[Pre-Chorus]
I used to kill the noise just to feel a choice
Now I’m forced to hear my own voice
[Chorus]
I’m crawling out of the static in my head
Every lie I believed is dead
No escape, no mask, no way to pretend
This is where I break to bend
I’m choking on the truth I tried to bury alive
Every breath feels like I barely survive
But I won’t go back, I won’t descend
I’ll tear myself apart to mend
Peel it back, layer by layer
Feel it crack, fear in the mirror
No more running, no anesthesia
Every scar screaming “I don’t need ya”
Break the cycle, break the skin
Let the daylight crawl within
It burns, it burns, it burns, it burns
But maybe that’s how a soul returns
(You don’t get to hide)
Feel it all, let it rise
(You don’t get to run)
Face the war you’ve become
(You don’t get to fade)
Every debt must be paid
(You don’t get to die)
Not today, not this time
[Final Chorus]
I’m crawling out of the static in my head
Every lie I believed is dead
No escape, no mask, no way to pretend
This is where I break to bend
I’m bleeding out the past I kept buried inside
Every scream is a piece of my pride
And I won’t go back, I won’t descend
I’ll tear myself apart...
...to mend.
I woke up in a body I don’t recognize
Every nerve screaming truths I tried to hide
No more numb, no more blur, no disguise
Just the wreckage staring back through my eyes
Hands shaking like they know what I’ve done
Every second feels like miles I gotta run
From the echo, from the ghost I became
From the comfort I found drowning in shame
[Pre-Chorus]

Now the silence cuts deeper every day
[Chorus]
I’m crawling out of the static in my head
Every lie I believed is dead
No escape, no mask, no way to pretend
This is where I break to bend
I’m choking on the truth I tried to bury alive
Every breath feels like I barely survive
But I won’t go back, I won’t descend
I’ll tear myself apart to mend
