Broken Broadcast

(hummmm) (ahhhh) The ceiling stares back at three in the morning

Another quiet panic attack without a warning They build these expectations high

up in the sky While I am down here just trying to

get by Every gaze feels heavy,

every word like a stone Sinking in the middle of a crowd

all alone

They judge the shadow but they don't see the weight

Behind the plastic smile that we all have to fake

And the noise starts to rise in my chest

They want my best,

but there is nothing left

I am slipping under

Underneath the weight of all their eyes Walking through a forest made

of lies

Every single breath is like a war inside Nowhere left to run,

nowhere left to hide

Yeah, we try to survive

They write the rules but they don't play the game

Just pointing fingers, assigning the blame

My mind's a carousel of every worst case Stuck in a loop

in a crowded place The social feed is screaming who I ought

to be

But all it does is lock the cage and throw the key

A thousand critics hiding behind glass screens Tearing apart what peace of

mind actually means

Underneath the weight of all their eyes

Walking through a forest made of lies

Every single breath is like a war inside

Nowhere left to run,

nowhere left to hide

Yeah, we try to survive

Nowhere left to hide...

Just trying to survive... (hummmm)
