Lyrics

Voices in the distance, a whispering roar
My heart's a prisoner, behind a closed door
Eyes seeking solace, in a crowded hall
I reach for you, but I stumble and fall
[Chorus]
I can hardly breathe
Caught in this silent grief
Loneliness beneath
I can hardly breathe
[Breakdown]
The beat intensifies, yet I'm still alone
The world spins around me, like
[Verse 1]
Dancing in the shadows, lost in my mind
Echoes of a heartbeat, fading in time
Lonely lights flicker, a city skyline
The noise surrounds me, hard to unwind
Thoughts like a melody, trapped in the night
The darkness whispers secrets under the starlight

[Chorus]
I can hardly breathe
Caught in this silent grief
Loneliness beneath
I can hardly breathe

[Verse 2]
Electric colors swirling, bright on the floor
Your absence haunts me, I crave something more
Voices in the distance, a whispering roar
My heart's a prisoner, behind a closed door
Eyes seeking solace, in a crowded hall
I reach for you, but I stumble and fall

[Chorus]
I can hardly breathe
Caught in this silent grief
Loneliness beneath
I can hardly breathe

[Bridge]
Stars fade away, lost in the haze
These memories linger, like endless maze
In this darkened daze, searching a sign
Still I wander aimlessly, twined in time

[Chorus]
I can hardly breathe
Caught in this silent grief
Loneliness beneath
I can hardly breathe
