Title: “No Pulse”

Title: “No Pulse” [Verse 1] I used to feel it in my chest, Every crack, every bruise. Now there’s silence where I bled, Nothing left to lose. I traded tears for empty nights, Traded hope for smoke. Watched my colors fade to white With every breath I took. [Pre-Chorus] I said I just needed peace, Just something to survive. But every dose erased a piece Of what kept me alive. [Chorus] The drugs killed my feelings, They buried my heart alive. Turned my fire into ceilings Where no light survives. Now I’m cold in my own skin, No love, no fear, no rush. I wanted not to feel the pain— Now I don’t feel much. [Verse 2] My laugh sounds unfamiliar, Like it belongs to someone else. Mirror shows a stranger’s face Dissolving off the shelf. I don’t cry and I don’t break, I don’t even try. It’s not that I’m strong now— It’s just that I’m dry. [Pre-Chorus] Every memory fades to gray, Every heartbeat slows. I killed the storm inside my head, But I froze the rose. [Chorus] The drugs killed my feelings, They buried my heart alive. Turned my fire into ceilings Where no light survives. Now I’m cold in my own skin, No love, no fear, no rush. I wanted not to feel the pain— Now I don’t feel much. [Bridge – soft, distant] No more panic, no more tears, No more screaming in my veins. But peace that comes from emptiness Still echoes with my chains. [Outro] I thought numb was better than hurt, Thought silence meant I healed. But I didn’t just lose the pain— I lost the way I feel.**
