LYRICS
[Verse 1]
I turned around, I'm down on my knees Screaming sad my goodbyes The world kept swinging its hammers I just built my wall and stood still Tears dried up like rivers In a drought and never more I told myself there's peace now Even if in pieces I walk
[Chorus]
But I learned to smile at funeral rooms Laugh when bridges burn If they can't reach me then there's nothing left to learn I float above the wreckage, it's like a ghost who played the toll Feeling nothing is the price I pay to keep a shred of soul Switch flipped, heart off, life still I don't break If I don't bend
[Verse 2]
I've known just to function Cold just to stay alive Froze the parts they used to hurt So I could still survive Don't care, don't feel, just delete the real Blend it out, tune it out, let the colors fade to gray I traded love for silence, traded warmth for empty space And I'm safe inside my head, but nobody wants to stay
[Chorus]
I've known just to function Cold just to stay alive Froze the parts they used to hurt So I could still survive Don't care, don't feel, just delete the real Blend it out, tune it out, let the colors fade to gray I traded love for silence, traded warmth for empty space And I'm safe inside my head, but nobody wants to stay
[Verse 3]
You said I'm distant, darling, like I'm already gone I heard you through the static, but the static turned me on Your tears looked like raindrops on a window I don't clean I nod and say I'm sorry, but I don't know what sorry means Maybe one day the ice will crack And all the pain comes rushing back But right now it's quiet And quiet is the only god I have I bow to the nothing, I worship the blank
[Chorus]
I've known just to function Dead just to stay alive Killed the parts that used to bleed So something could survive Don't care, don't feel, nothing is real Blend it out, tune it out, live inside the lie I made I finally found my peace, built a world where nothing breaks But it's only in the numbness And the numbness never fades
