Prompt:

(Verse 1) The radiator hisses like a snake in the wall Counting every second that I’m waiting to fall. I haven’t left this bed in three or four days Lost in a static, suffocating haze. I look at my hands and they don’t feel like mine Just cold, empty vessels wasting all of this time. There’s a hole in my chest where the heart used to beat Now it’s just gravel and winter and sleet. (Chorus) And I’m sinking so deep that the light can't reach A lesson in sorrow that I didn't want to teach. No friends in the hallway, no love at the door Just the ghost of the person I’m not anymore. I’m overthinking until my brain starts to bleed Screaming for something I know I’ll never lead. I’m not just lonely, I’m hollowed out clean The invisible tragedy that’s never been seen. (Verse 2) The tears don't even sting, they just feel like rain A dull, heavy rhythm to the pulse of the pain. I try to imagine a face or a touch But the thought of a person hurts way too much. To be wanted is a language I’ll never speak I’m a broken-down engine, I’m a permanent leak. The world is a party that I wasn't invited to I’m the black-and-white static in a world full of blue. (Bridge) Don’t tell me it’s phases, don’t tell me it’s hope I’m at the very last inch of a very short rope. The silence is screaming, it’s deafening now I’d end this cycle if I only knew how. But I’m paralyzed here in the wreckage I made Watching the last of my sanity fade. (Chorus) And I’m sinking so deep that the light can't reach A lesson in sorrow that I didn't want to teach. No friends in the hallway, no love at the door Just the ghost of the person I’m not anymore. I’m overthinking until my brain starts to bleed Screaming for something I know I’ll never lead. I’m not just lonely, I’m hollowed out clean The invisible tragedy that’s never been seen. (Outro) Turn off the lamp... Let the shadows take hold. The bed is so big... And the room is so cold. Nobody’s coming. Nobody’s there. Just a mouthful of dust And a soul full of air. (Fade out to the sound of steady, heavy breathing)
