Nixa - Hope's A Stranger Lyrics

Waking up, another day feels like a chore
Mirror shows a face that I don't recognize no more
Eyes sunken, heart heavy, dragging through the floor
I try to speak my mind, but my voice is just a roar

Lost in a crowd, but I feel so alone
Numb to the bone, scrolling through my phone
Messages unread, don't wanna pick up the phone
World's spinning 'round, but I'm stuck in

Walls closing in, I'm trapped in my head
Every step I take, feels like walking with lead
Memories haunt me, they're the monsters in my bed
Can't shake the feeling, wishing I was dead

Friends try to help, but they can't understand
Smile on my face, but it's all just a sham
Sinking in quicksand, reaching for a hand
But every time I grasp, it slips through

Drowning in darkness, can't see the dawn
Night after night, the pain lingers on

Hope's a stranger, can't remember her face
Lost in the maze, can't keep up the pace
Searching for a trace, in this empty space
Just want to escape, from this endless race

Drowning in darkness, can't see the dawn
Night after night, the pain lingers on
Mind in turmoil, hope long gone
Living in a world where I don't belong

Drowning in darkness, can't see the dawn
Night after night, the pain lingers on
Mind in turmoil, hope long gone
Living in a world where I don't belong

One day at a time, but the days are all the same
Fighting just to breathe, but it's a losing game
Maybe there's a way out, but who can I blame?
When every path I take, leads back to the pain

Drowning in darkness, can't see the dawn
Night after night, the pain lingers on
Mind in turmoil, hope long gone, oh
Living in a world where I don't belong

One day at a time, but the days are all the same
Fighting just to breathe, but it's a losing game
Maybe there's a way out, but who can I blame?
When every path I take, leads back to the pain
