NOCKING ...By Qii
Staring at the ceiling, tracing out the cracks Counting every single thing I can’t take back Running from a shadow that looks a lot like me Trying to find a lock for a ghost that holds the key They tell you "just breathe," like the air isn't heavy Like the dam isn't breaking when you're guarding the levee Built a fortress of cards just to keep out the rain Now I’m trapped inside the shelter trying to manage the pain. (Chorus) And it’s a long way down when you’re falling from your own mind Trying to find a spark in a sky that went completely blind I’ve been fighting giants that were never there at all Turns out I’ve been trapped inside of paper walls Yeah, just paper walls. One tear and they fall. (Verse 2) Yeah, silence is a speaker when it’s turned all the way up Static in the evening, pouring poison in the cup I overcomplicate the simple, overthink the delay Writing scripts for tomorrow that I’ll never get to play Got a chest full of questions, a head full of noise Trading in my peace for a couple of broken toys But the bricks that I dreaded, they were only a screen Just a shadow-play projection of the places I've been. (Chorus) And it’s a long way down when you’re falling from your own mind Trying to find a spark in a sky that went completely blind I’ve been fighting giants that were never there at all Turns out I’ve been trapped inside of paper walls Yeah, just paper walls. (Bridge) So let the rain come and soak through the frame I’m tired of defending a ghost with my name It’s fragile, it’s temporary, built out of fear The moment I touch it, it starts to clear. It all starts to clear. (Outro) No more giants. No more pretend. Just a blank sheet of paper where the walls used to end. Let it fall. Let it all just fall. Yeah. What kind of vibe or theme were you originally aiming for?
