Lyrics
3:17, I’m still awake
Counting every breath I take
World asleep but I can’t rest
Heavy weight inside my chest
Streetlights flicker through my room
Shadows dancing in the gloom
Every second stretches long
Something here just feels so wrong
Phone in hand, but I don’t type
What’s the point, they won’t reply
Too many thoughts I can’t escape
Mind running but I stay in place
3:17, I’m still awake…
Clock keeps ticking like a bomb
Every moment feels so numb
Memories I tried to hide
Come alive at night inside
If I close my eyes, I see
Everything that’s haunting me
So I keep them open wide
Let the darkness be my guide
Maybe morning brings relief
Or just covers up the grief
Either way, I’ll play along
Act like nothing’s ever wrong
3:17, I’m still awake…
Sky turns grey, I lost the night
Still don’t feel a hint of light
People wake, I fade away
Living backwards every day
Tired eyes but I don’t sleep
Promises I couldn’t keep
Another night I let it slip
Another crack inside the script
3:17 turns into dawn
Still awake, but barely strong
