Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Clock ticks loud in this silent room
Sunset spills on the neighbor’s bloom
Kid next door still plays that tune
Life moves on, like I never loomed

My hands once shook for dreams so vast
Now they just shake from holding the past
Mirror cracked but shows me whole
Fragments shine where the light can’t go

I lied to Mom, said I’d be fine
Told her the world was always kind
But kindness fades in hungry streets
And I grew cold with borrowed heat

⸻

[Hook – “What Will I Leave?”]

What will I leave when I leave this air?
A name? A note? Just silence there?
Will they recall my highs or lows?
My hollow laughs? My heavy soul?

⸻

[Verse 2]

She held my face like I was light
But I burned out most every night
Traded truth for softer lies
Told her I was chasing skies

But I was chasing pills and pride
Falling fast while dressed in rise
Scars hid deep beneath my charm
A quiet war behind my calm

I see her now, watering the ground
Like she’s praying I’ll come back around
But I’m a ghost in my own bed
Counting down what’s left unsaid

⸻

[Bridge] (whispered or autotuned gently)

No rage, no cry, just peace, just pause
I’m not afraid, just full of cause
To say I lived, not well, but real
A bruised heart still learns to feel

⸻

[Hook – repeat with added harmony]

What will I leave when I leave this air?
A name? A note? Just silence there?
Will they recall my highs or lows?
My hollow laughs? My heavy soul?
