Rot From the Inside

I see the world, it's moving fast
I'm standing still, stuck behind the glass
They say be strong, they say be brave
But strength doesn't stop the pain

Just tell me why
I'm still alive, watching myself rot
From the inside, I'm barely breathing
I'm losing time
Trapped in the space between the lines
I tried to scream, but I'm denied
Just tell me why I'm still alive

I don't know why I'm still here
Fighting ghosts that no one hears
I'm bleeding thoughts I never share
Carving hope into despair

Just tell me why
I'm still alive, watching myself rot
From the inside, I'm barely breathing
I'm losing time
Trapped in the space between the lines
I tried to scream, but I'm denied
Just tell me why I'm still alive

I tried to fix it, made it worse
I tried to heal, just fueled the hurt
Said I'm fine, smiling
Like I meant every fucking word
Keep it quiet
Keep it in
Let it rot under my skin
I will never be okay
I know

Just tell me why
I'm still alive, watching myself rot
From the inside, I'm barely breathing
I'm losing time
Trapped in the space between the lines
I tried to scream, but I'm denied
Just tell me why I'm still alive
Why I'm still alive
