Cold Beneath
10“Cold Beneath”
Lyrics-
They took me in, then threw me back, like a ghost they don’t wanna see
Another name, another house, but no one’s ever keeping me
Smile for the cameras, laugh at all their stupid jokes
But inside I’m screaming, drowning in the words I never spoke
Yeah, I fight, yeah, I grunge, yeah, I bleed just to feel alive
But every night, I hear the voice whispering, “You don’t belong inside”
Let me go, let me sink, let me fall beneath the ice
In the cold, I feel at home, yeah, I almost got it right
But I’m still here, still breathing, still stuck in this machine
Wearing this mask so no one asks what the hell is wrong with me
Every day’s a battlefield, but no one sees the scars
They just see the painted face, not the wreckage in my heart
Hey, I was born into the fire, raised to take the pain to cheek
But wearing this mask, so no one asks, what the hell is wrong with me
Yeah, I work, yeah, I grind, yeah, I burn ‘til nothing’s left
But every night, I hear the voice, whispering, “You’re better off dead”
Let me go, let me sink, let me fall beneath the ice
In the cold, I feel at home, yeah, I almost got it right
But I’m still here, still breathing, still stuck in this machine
Wearing this mask so no one asks what the hell is wrong with me
I don’t wanna be a burden, I don’t wanna hear them say
“Just hold on, you’ll be fine”—like that ever changed a thing
I’ve been burning, I’ve been breaking, turning ashes in the flame
And the hardest part of living is pretending I wanna stay
Let me go, let me sink, let me fall beneath the ice
But I wake up, face the day, wear the mask and say I’m fine
