I can’t face the night anymore It claws at my skin Too loud Too bright Too much Rooms won’t stay still Even silence feels like memory You said love would save me But I drowned anyway I was sweet once That version of me died somewhere between please stay and your silence Now I speak less Feel less Want less Not healing Just surviving Relief is not love Escape is not peace I don’t chase ghosts anymore

Too Bright
I can’t face the night anymore It claws at my skin Too loud Too bright Too much Rooms won’t stay still Even silence feels like memory You said love would save me But I drowned anyway I was sweet once That version of me died somewhere between please stay and your silence Now I speak less Feel less Want less Not healing Just surviving Relief is not love Escape is not peace I don’t chase ghosts anymore
