[Verse 1]
God, I’m tired
Bone-deep tired
Got a knot in my chest
Like a fist made of wire
I drag my face
Through the day
Every small little thing
Takes a piece away
[Pre-Chorus]
I bite my tongue
Till it tastes like blood
I keep it locked
But it keeps coming up
Something black
In the back of my head
Won’t let me sleep
Won’t let me rest
[Chorus]
It’s eating me alive
Eating me alive
I can’t outrun this fire
It’s eating me alive
It’s eating me alive
Eating me alive
I scream into the dark
And it stays alive
[Verse 2]
I wash my hands
But the stain stays there
All these walls lean in
Like they know I’m scared
I fake a grin
I play the part
But the weight of it all
Keeps tearing apart
[Pre-Chorus]
I bite my tongue
Till it tastes like blood
I keep it locked
But it keeps coming up
Something black
In the back of my head
Won’t let me sleep
Won’t let me rest
[Chorus]
It’s eating me alive
Eating me alive
I can’t outrun this fire
It’s eating me alive
It’s eating me alive
Eating me alive
I scream into the dark
And it stays alive
[Bridge]
If I break, let me break
Don’t you look away
I’ve been carrying this
Like a loaded ache
So hit me hard
Let it show
I’m tired of pretending
I can let it go
[Final Chorus]
It’s eating me alive
Eating me alive
I can’t outrun this fire
It’s eating me alive
It’s eating me alive
Eating me alive
I’m done feeding the dark
I’m done staying quiet
