Something Slipping Away

what do I feel right now… something is slipping away… the night feels heavy…

city lights are shaking like the city is breathing through its scars

I walk alone, but it feels like someone’s moving in the dark behind me

every step echoes louder in the space of broken plans

something inside me is breaking quietly, no noise, no warning signs

like my heartbeat lost its rhythm somewhere between neon and fading time

I don’t really know where I’m going, but I still keep moving through it all

because even when I’m lost inside, at least I know I’m still alive

the night is heavy like lead, pressing down on my thoughts and skin

but it shines in my eyes like it wants to pull me back in

like it’s whispering: don’t run away from what you are becoming

and I’m standing somewhere between what I was and what I’ll be

what do I feel right now… something is slipping away… the night feels heavy…

but deep inside there’s still a small light that refuses to break me
