[Intro]
A little town hums, a clock on the wall.st–
Night spills through curtains, the streetlight stalls.
[Verse 1]
In a kitchen glow, bottles line the shelf,
A quiet avalanche that hides in health.
Pills like small promises float on the breath,
I count to ten, then another death of the rest.
Lonely hands ask for a wider sky,
But the door stays closed, and I’m asking why.
[Pre-Chorus]
I reach for a flicker, a sugar-coated beam,
Anything to soften the ache between.
[Chorus]
Take me to daylight, where I’m not held by you,
Where a heart can breathe without a bruise to prove.
I’m trying to love me, in the mirror’s cold glare,
But the lift of your mercy keeps circling there.
[Verse 2]
Faint relief in a pill’s quiet kiss,
A moment’s gravity, a borrowed bliss.
The town’s streetlamps blink like distant stars,
I’m stepping through doors that never close the scars.
I hold on to whispers, I let go of lie,
Between love and self-destruction, I’m asking why.
[Pre-Chorus]
If you hear me calling from the edge of the night,
It’s not escape, it’s trying to find the light.
[Chorus]
Take me to daylight, where I’m not held by you,
Where a heart can breathe without a bruise to prove.
I’m trying to love me, in the mirror’s cold glare,
But the lift of your mercy keeps circling there.
[Bridge]
Sometimes I want to quit the clock and start anew,
Trade the quiet scars for a place that’s true.
But love keeps knocking with a softer tone,
Saying: you’re not alone, you’re not alone.
[Chorus]
Take me to daylight, where I’m not held by you,
Where a heart can breathe without a bruise to prove.
I’m trying to love me, in the mirror’s cold glare,
But the lift of your mercy keeps circling there.
[Outro]
So I breathe in, I breathe out, one more slow inhale,
Walk through the town where even prayers seem pale.
If I hold on to hope, maybe I’ll endure,
And learn to love the wounds that made me sure.
