Dysphoria

Wake up again to a stranger’s skin.
The cracks in the mirror don’t let me in.
Tracing a name that doesn’t sound right,
Trying to hold on, losing the fight.

Footsteps echo down the hall,
Familiar voices I don’t recall.
Hands reach out, but I pull away.
Tell me—will I ever stay?

So I run through the city lights,
Fading fast in the sleepless nights.
I chase a face I’ve never known,
Lost in a place I once called home.

Every word feels foreign now,
Like a song I can’t sing out loud.
Erase the frame, redraw the line,
Looking for somewhere I can hide.

Footsteps echo down the hall,
Familiar voices I don’t recall.
Hands reach out, but I pull away.
Tell me—will I ever stay?

So I run through the city lights,
Fading fast in the sleepless nights.
I chase a face I’ve never known,
Lost in a place I once called home.

If I whisper, will you hear me?
If I vanish, will you fear me?
I reach out just to fade again.
Tell me—when will this end?

So I run through the city lights,
Fading fast in the sleepless night.
I chase a face I’ve never known,
Lost in a place I once called home.
