Tunnel | forevercharmer

[Verse 1] Taillights fading, I'm the one they pass Second place shadow in a broken glass Clock in, bleed out, for a wage that won't last Name on the list, but I'm always last Built this house with blistered hands Watch it settle, watch it sand Praying hard just to understand [Pre-Chorus] Every tunnel that I crawl Is black on black on walls I count my breaths to find the hall [Chorus] I'm never number one, I'm the left behind Working hard just to keep my spine aligned Fall into the habits that I swear I'll leave Then I lean on the strength I don't believe I need to escape the dark, but the dark knows me Every tunnel is dark, but I feel the seam Maybe one day the light won't have to bleed Just green grass, wildflowers, where the dark can't reach [Verse 2] Bottle for a compass, smoke for a map Traded my mornings for a midnight trap Said it's just coping, said it's just that Till the mirror showed a man I can't stand But the same hands that shake can still hold steel Same heart that breaks can learn how to heal [Pre-Chorus 2] Every tunnel that I choose Takes a piece, but gives me proof I'm still walking, still cutting through [Chorus] I'm never number one, I'm the left behind Working hard just to keep my spine aligned Fall into the habits that I swear I'll leave Then I lean on the strength I don't believe I need to escape the dark, but the dark knows me Every tunnel is dark, but I feel the seam Maybe one day the light won't have to bleed Just green grass, wildflowers, where the dark can't reach [Bridge] Let the dark have its say I've heard every lie that it made I'm not running, I'm carving a way If I fall, I fall facing day No more tunnels to navigate No more weight on a rusted gate Let it be quiet, let it be green Somewhere the darkness has never been Final Chorus I'm not number one, and I don't need to be I'm the one still standing in the debris Broke the habit, or the habit broke me Either way, I'm learning to breathe I found my way out, and the dark let go Every tunnel ends, even the slow Maybe one day there will be no road to bleed Just green grass, wildflowers, and me finally free © 2026 forevercharmer — All Rights Reserved.
