## Lyrics
[verse]
I've been running from the shadows that I built myself
Locked up all my feelings, put them high up on a shelf
Every night I'm fighting something I can't quite name
Chasing after something colder than the flame

[chorus]
I'd rather die trying than live like this
Numb inside a moment I can't dismiss
Give me something real before the night runs dry
I'd rather feel it all and die trying

[verse]
They don't see the static underneath the calm I wear
Don't see the empty rooms inside the life I share
I keep reaching for a version of myself that's free
But it keeps slipping farther every time it's close to me

[chorus]
I'd rather die trying than live like this
Numb inside a moment I can't dismiss
Give me something real before the night runs dry
I'd rather feel it all and die trying

[bridge]
Maybe the wreckage is the only way back home
Maybe I gotta break to stop feeling so alone
I'm not scared of falling, I'm scared of staying still
So watch me chase the fire, watch me chase until

[chorus]
I'd rather die trying than live like this
Numb inside a moment I can't dismiss
Give me something real before the night runs dry
I'd rather feel it all and die trying
