Living Like I’m Dying - Kairo

Intro]
Yeah…
I’ve been talkin’ to the sky again
Tellin’ it my secrets like a diary in the wind
Dark thoughts in designer threads
Still got fire in my head

[Verse 1]
Romanticizin’ death, like it’s sweeter than the pain
Every high I chase just to outrun the rain
I sip poison like it’s love, ain’t it twisted?
Tellin’ myself lies, like “just one more hit, then I’m finished”

Used to think I’d die young, now I’m scared that I won’t
Feelin’ every breath burn while I’m lightin’ up hope
Anxiety heavy like chains I can’t break
Smilin’ through the trauma like I’m doin’ okay

[Pre-Chorus]
Demons in my room, they be dressin’ in black
Whisperin’ my name like they know I’ll relapse
But I’m holdin’ on tight with a grin and a gasp
Life on the edge like I’m never lookin’ back

[Chorus]
I’m just livin’ like I’m dyin’, heart full of regrets
Tryna kill the noise with every cigarette
Drugs in my veins, but I ain’t feelin’ blessed
Tryna put my demons to rest… to rest

Every step I take, it’s like I’m walkin’ on ledges
Prayin’ I don’t fall for the same damn lessons
But I wear my pain like it’s part of my essence
Still searchin’ for peace in the wreckage

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I glamorized the grave in my lyrics
Now I’m terrified I might end up near it
Can’t quit the high when the low feels realer
Talkin’ to God like, “Why you make me a feeler?”

Tell me what’s the cure for a heart that won’t mend?
Every mirror I break, I see myself again
And I know this ain’t it, but it’s all that I know
In a world full of fakes, I just follow the glow

[Bridge]
Poppin’ pills for the silence
Sleepin’ light, dreamin’ violent
Lookin’ for truth in the chaos
My mind’s a riot, can’t lie, it’s timeless

[Chorus]
I’m just livin’ like I’m dyin’, heart full of regrets
Tryna kill the noise with every cigarette
Drugs in my veins, but I ain’t feelin’ blessed
Tryna put my demons to rest… to rest

Every step I take, it’s like I’m walkin’ on ledges
Prayin’ I don’t fall for the same damn lessons
But I wear my pain like it’s part of my essence
Still searchin’ for peace in the wreckage

[Outro]
So I laugh with the devil and I cry with the stars
Every scar a story, every wound a memoir
If love couldn’t save me, maybe truth’ll scar
But I’ll keep goin’, even broken, I’ll go far…
