“Drowning in the Gray”
[Verse 1]
Woke up again but I don’t feel alive
Same ceiling, same silence inside
The mirror won’t look me in the eyes
I’m just a ghost passing time
Every smile feels like a lie
Every breath, another sigh
I’m lost in thoughts I can’t define
Drowning in the gray of my mind
[Chorus]
I’m sinking slow, but no one sees
The weight is crushing down on me
I scream for help, but there’s no sound
Just echoes pulling me underground
And I can’t find a light today
Just drowning in the gray
[Verse 2]
My friends say, “You’ll be okay”
But they don’t see the storm I face
The thunder hides behind my eyes
The rain falls every night
My heart’s a cage, I can’t escape
Every dream just fades away
I’m fighting battles no one names
But I’m still standing anyway
[Chorus]
I’m sinking slow, but no one sees
The weight is crushing down on me
I scream for help, but there’s no sound
Just echoes pulling me underground
And I can’t find a light today
Just drowning in the gray
[Bridge]
Maybe someday I’ll break the chain
Find the sun behind the pain
But until then I’ll fight to stay
Even when I fade away
[Final Chorus]
I’m sinking slow, but I still breathe
The fire’s small, but it’s still in me
And though I’m lost, I’m not gone yet
My heart remembers what hope meant
So I’ll keep fighting through the gray
Until I find my way
