Prompt:

(Verse 1) The ceiling fan is spinning circles in the dark Tracing every mistake, every jagged little mark I check my phone for a ghost of a vibration But it’s just the hum of my own desperation. I’m a crowded room with nobody inside Just a thousand thoughts with nowhere to hide Wondering if I’m built with some kind of flaw That keeps the world back, behind a glass wall. (Chorus) And I’m overthinking until the air runs thin Trying to find a way out of the skin I’m in No hand to hold, no voice to call my name Just the silence playing its favorite game. Yeah, I’m lonely in a way that’s hard to say Crying 'til the blue turns into heavy grey Searching for a love that I’ll never find While I’m trapped in the prison of my own mind. (Verse 2) I see them laughing, I see them drifting by While I’m anchored down by a permanent "why?" Is it my face? Is it the words I speak? Why does the mountain feel so damn steep? The "friends" I had are just names on a screen Fading out like a dream I shouldn't have seen. Now I’m just a shadow, a glitch in the light Doing battle with myself in the middle of the night. (Bridge) My pillow’s still damp from the salt of the tears Collecting the weight of all of my fears. They say it gets better, they say time is a friend But time’s just a loop that never quite ends. I’m reaching out, but my arms hit the air Does anyone know that I’m even still there? (Chorus) ‘Cause I’m overthinking until the air runs thin Trying to find a way out of the skin I’m in No hand to hold, no voice to call my name Just the silence playing its favorite game. Yeah, I’m lonely in a way that’s hard to say Crying 'til the blue turns into heavy grey Searching for a love that I’ll never find While I’m trapped in the prison of my own mind. (Outro) Just me and the echoes... Just me and the "what ifs"... Another night, another tear Still lonely... Still here.
