STRESSED & FADED
• Written by koolaidman
[Verse 1]
I've been running through the midnight rain,
Trying to wash away another day.
Phone on silent, heart on overload,
Every road I take feels like the wrong road.
Coffee getting colder by the minute,
Smile on my face but I'm never in it.
Everybody says I'll be alright,
But they don't hear my thoughts at night.
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep dancing with my shadow,
Like it's all I've ever known.
Lost inside a crowded city,
Still I've never felt so alone.
[Chorus]
I'm stressed, I'm faded,
Trying to fix what time created.
Every heartbeat feels delayed,
Every promise slowly faded.
If tomorrow finds my name,
Hope it doesn't feel the same.
Hold me close until the morning light,
Tell me we'll survive tonight.
[Verse 2]
Skyline crying in the rearview glass,
Wonder how the good things move so fast.
Breathing deep but I can't catch a break,
Trying not to drown inside the weight.
Maybe all these scars are maps to somewhere,
Maybe someone's waiting when I get there.
Until then I'm counting every star,
Wondering if they know who we are.
[Bridge]
If the world keeps spinning without me,
Will the silence finally set me free?
Or will hope keep knocking on my door,
Like it always has before?
[Final Chorus]
I'm stressed, I'm faded,
Still I'm fighting what I created.
Every sunrise feels like grace,
Even when I lose my place.
If tomorrow calls my name,
Maybe I won't run away.
Hold me close until the morning light,
We'll be more than just tonight.
[Outro]
Maybe healing isn't loud,
Maybe hope is whispering now.
One more breath, one more day,
I'll find my own way.
