LYRIC FOR SALE

By Rovkov Sam

(Verse 1)
I trace the same line on the floor every night
Wear down the carpet, but it never feels right
Your voice is a siren, I answer the call
Then watch my reflection just bounce off the wall
I'm building a ladder with splinters and rust
Reaching for something that's already dust
You move the horizon each time that I get close
A puppet that cuts its own strings as it goes

(Pre-Chorus)
And the harder I push, the more I disappear
The quieter I get, the louder you appear

(Chorus)
I'm crashing through invisible glass
Cutting my hands on the world that you made
Screaming your name 'til my lungs turn to ash
Running in place in the bed where we laid
My shattered soul is a map of your lies
One final step and I'll close both my eyes
To find the peace behind the disguise
A fractured whisper in a world of goodbyes

(Verse 2)
I gave you my bones to build your new throne
You gave me a cage and called it a home
I paint all the exits with colorful sound
But the colors just bleed as they soak through the ground
Every new gesture is a punch in the dark
A flame that I carry to light up the ark
But the ark is a coffin, the water is still
And I'm learning to love this invisible hill
(Pre-Chorus)
Cause the harder I push, the more I erase
The quieter I get, the more I see your face

(Chorus)
I'm crashing through invisible glass
Cutting my hands on the world that you made
Screaming your name 'til my lungs turn to ash
Running in place in the bed where we laid
My shattered soul is a map of your lies
One final step and I'll close both my eyes
To find the peace behind the disguise
A fractured whisper in a world of goodbyes

(Verse 3 )
She burns like the sun but she leaves me so cold
Her touch is a story that's already been told
I'm reaching through flames just to hold her again
But her fire is only for her, not for me
I'm the smoke that she breathes out and never inhales
The warmth that she uses and then lets derail
She glows in the dark while I crumble to dust
Her light is my sentence, her heat is my rust
And she doesn't feel it, she doesn't turn back
At the man she's been turning to ash in her track
She's too bright to notice, too golden to see
The lover she's burning so quietly

(Pre-Chorus — intense, desperate)
And the harder I love, the less that she feels
The closer I get, the more I become unreal!

(Final Chorus — explosive, unhinged)
I'm breaking through invisible glass!
Bleeding my truth on the floor that you own!
You'll hear my name when the silence has passed!
You'll feel the shake when I'm finally gone!
My shattered soul is the proof that you're blind!
One final breath and I'll leave it behind!
The hidden meaning you refused to find—
Is the sound of a body unkind to its own mind!

(Bridge — spoken/sung quietly, broken)
What if the wall was never there?
What if the pain was just the air?
I've done the math, I've paid the cost
The only move left is to get lost
(But not in you)
(Not in you)
(Just through)

(Outro — fading, distorted whisper)
Same line on the floor
Same invisible door
I'm not crashing anymore
I'm just still
