(VERSE 1)
Woke up tired from a dream I never had
Running on a rhythm that’s been breaking me in half
Coffee’s cold and so am I
Every step feels like a mountain I can’t climb
(PRE-CHORUS)
I’m running circles round a life that won’t sit still
And I’m losing pieces of the person that I feel
I whisper “I’m okay” but it echoes like a lie
I’m on empty but I’m still trying to try
(CHORUS)
I am burnt out, one down, fading in the flame
A sparkling smoke, but I'm still calling my own name
I'm falling through the motions, breaking at the seams
But somewhere in the ashes, I can still find me
(VERSE 2)
I’ve been lighting up the dark with a match that’s burning down
Trying to keep the pace while my soul slows to the ground
Chasing deadlines like they’re ghosts I can’t escape
Trying to find myself in a life that's out of shape
(CHORUS)
I am burnt out, one down, fading in the flame
A sparkling smoke, but I'm still calling my own name
I'm falling through the motions, breaking at the seams
But somewhere in the ashes, I can still find me
(BRIDGE)
Maybe healing starts in pieces, maybe pieces start to glow
When you let the tired version of yourself, just take it slow
I've been drowning in the quiet. I've been shouting in my head
But maybe rest is something more than lying in my bed
(CHORUS)
I am burnt out, one down, fading in the flame
A sparkling smoke, but I'm still calling my own name
I'm falling through the motions, breaking at the seams
But somewhere in the ashes, I can still find me
