After School Trauma Club - Bottle Up Hope Lyrics

Woke up in a body that's heavy and hollow
Skin is on fire, every breath's hard to swallow
The weight of my steps keep me standing in place
Faulty nerves that never turn off the pain
My muscles scream like they're tearing apart
My mind is worn out, like my tired heart
No way to silence the endless noise
It doesn't drown out the world, only my voice
I'd do anything just to stop the pain
Set me on fire or drown me in rain
They say it's in my head but it's all in my veins
You say to try this instead, while I'm counting my days
Can you bottle up hope? I didn't think so
I'm stuck with rules I can't escape
Fight through the fog like my mind's erased
Every step spins me, lost in the haze
And I'm sinking deeper into darker days
It's another migraine almost every day
And if it's not that, I just sleep it away
Do they even know the toll it takes
No? They call me a fake, while my soul breaks
I'd do anything just to stop the pain
Set me on fire or drown me in rain
They say it's in my head but it's all in my veins
You say to try this instead, while I'm counting my days
Can you bottle up hope? I didn't think so
Every pill's a gamble, every night's a bet
The pain's the dealer, and I'm drowning in debt
You can't see the anchor, but it's pulling me down
And I'm begging for a way out without a sound
I'd do anything just to stop the pain
Set me on fire or drown me in rain
They say it's in my head but it's all in my veins
You say to try this instead, while I'm counting my days
Can you bottle up hope? I didn't think so
