Lyrics

Now it's just the ticking clock
And the house that you won't leave

I remember yellow mornings
Toast burning in the pan
You humming in the kitchen
Holding my little hand

You said the world was gentle
You said that love was real
But somewhere in the silence
You taught me not to feel

Every word a blade you sharpened
Every lie another scar
You built a cage around my heart
Then wondered why it's dark

And now you're dying in that house
Shadows crawling on the wall
The phone don't ring, the lights don't shine
No one left to call

You burned the bridge between us
Every cruel and careless year
Now you're fading in the silence
And there's nothing left to feel

The neighbors heard the shouting
Doors slammed like thunder cracks
You told the world you loved me
While stabbing in my back

Birthday candles melting
No one there but me
Learning how a mother's love
Can feel like enemy

You swore the doctors lied to you
Said hospitals were hell
So you locked yourself inside that house
With the poison of yourself

Now you're dying in that house
Curtains drawn against the day
The stubborn queen of bitterness
Slowly fades away

The echoes of your screaming
Still rattle in my ears
But you drained the blood from mercy
Till there's nothing left to feel

A swing set in the garden
A voice that used to care
But memory turns to static
When the love was never there

You broke the boy I used to be
Piece by broken piece
And somewhere in the wreckage
My heart just fell asleep

You're dying in that lonely house
No ambulance, no prayer
Just the ghosts of all the words
You threw into the air

And maybe once I loved you
Maybe once you were my world
But you buried every feeling
When you shattered that little boy

So fade into the silence
Let the darkness take its steal
You made a man of empty bones

And there's nothing left to feel

Mom… watch me…

watch me…
