Too Loud Silences

Lyrics
Verse 1
Midnight hums like a broken radio
Walls lean in closer every day
I trace the cracks with shaking hands
Counting reasons to stay awake
Cupboard doors all left ajar
Something's breathing on my skin
I can't tell if I'm the ghost
Or if the ghost has always been within
Pre-Chorus
Hold on hold on hold on
To anything that feels like real
Hold on hold on hold on
Is this my head or is this steel
Chorus
Silent screams and too loud silences
I'm screaming but the room never hears
Grip on reality fading fast
Lost my footing in the atmosphere
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Verse 2
Morning comes and goes again
Sunlight spills across the floor
I mouth the words I used to know
They don't sound like me anymore
Mirror shows a stranger's face
Smiling back with borrowed eyes
I wave hello and watch it move
A second late and twice my size
Pre-Chorus
Hold on hold on hold on
To anything that feels like true
Hold on hold on hold on
I don't know me but I know you
Chorus
Silent screams and too loud silences
I'm screaming but the room never hears
Grip on reality fading fast
Lost my footing in the atmosphere
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Bridge
Maybe normal's just a door
That no one ever finds the key
Maybe sanity's a song
That everybody sings off-key
I'm singing I'm singing I'm singing
Can anybody hear me now
Chorus
Silent screams and too loud silences
I'm screaming but the room never hears
Grip on reality fading fast
Lost my footing in the atmosphere
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Fading fading fading
Fading fading fading
