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
