SnowDralech - Welcome to Loneliness

Verse 1 I learned to smile with broken teeth, to hide the blood beneath my tongue. Everybody said I'd be okay, but nobody stayed long enough to know. The walls remember every name of every ghost that walked away. I keep their shadows in my bed so I don't have to sleep alone. Pre-Chorus If I disappear tonight, would the silence even change? Would the city miss my heartbeat, or just swallow me the same? Chorus So hold me like a loaded gun, like something dangerous to lose. I am the sickness and the cure, the bruise, the hand that makes it bruise. I built a halo out of paper, watched the rain dissolve it slow. Tell me I'm worth saving, darling, even if we both know I'm not. Verse 2 There's a cemetery in my chest, all the versions I became. A little girl still screaming somewhere inside a body with my name. I hear God through broken wiring, through the static in the dark. Every prayer comes back unanswered, every match dies without a spark. Pre-Chorus And I hate the way I need you, hate the way I need to stay. Like a drowning thing that loves the ocean even while it's dragged away. Chorus So hold me like a loaded gun, like something dangerous to lose. I am the sickness and the cure, the bruise, the hand that makes it bruise. I built a halo out of paper, watched the rain dissolve it slow. Tell me I'm worth saving, darling, even if we both know I'm not. Bridge Cut me open. You'll find empty rooms, birthday candles burned to dust, letters nobody answered, a heart rusting from trust. I wasn't looking for a hero. I was looking for a witness. Someone to see me vanish and admit I once existed. Final Chorus So hold me when the morning comes, when all the pretty lies are gone. When you see the rot beneath the skin, the thing I've been running from. My paper halo's finally melting, dripping white into the flood. And if I'm not worth saving, darling— Then why am I still begging through a mouth full of blood? Outro Don't leave. Don't leave. Don't leave. ...please.
