Lyrics
Future heartbreak
(Verse 1)
The silence in the kitchen felt heavier than lead
I'm replaying every syllable, the poison that you fed
The rhythm in my chest is skipping, running out of time
Trying to find a reason or a rhythm or a rhyme
But the tempo's getting frantic, it's a drum against my ribs
Like a secret that I'm keeping, like a love that starts to fib.
(Chorus)
Yeah, my heartbeat was beating faster
After thinking about the words you said
Knowing I was headed for disaster
If I couldn't change what lies ahead
It's a rhythm I can't master
A shadow on the path I tread
Heartbreak was near in my future
Or a stain stored inside my head
(Verse 2)
I'm standing at the edge, looking down the jagged line
Where your apathy met everything I thought of as mine
You spoke of "moving on" with such a cold and steady grace
While I'm tracing every memory across your empty face
And the pulse beneath my skin is a warning I can't hide
That I'm losing all the battle in this rising, hollow tide.
(Bridge)
Is it panic? Is it clarity?
Or just the sound of crashing down?
I'm caught inside the gravity
Of the truth that's coming round
If I turn the page, can I stop the wreck?
Or is the noose already tight around my neck?
