The View From Halfway Down Lyrics

The bottle slipped, the pills ran dry

I chased the high and let time slide by

The faces blurred, their voices strained

I shrugged it off, dismissed their pain

But now the sky, it cracks and falls

I hear the echoes of it all

Their screams, their cries, their haunted sound

Please meet me here, halfway down

I see their eyes, the hurt I caused

The trust I broke, the lines I crossed

It's written clear, no place to hide

Every sin I wore with pride

The ground is rushing, the void unfolds

Regret burns deep, the truth is cold

I could have changed, I see that now

But too late from halfway down

The hands I left to grasp at air

The promises broken, the love not spared

The lies I told, the selfish drive

Left them hollow, while I survived

And now the weight, it pulls me fast

A judgment earned from a tainted past

The sins I wore, my thorny crown

I can't escape, halfway down

I see the years I let slip by

The chance to be good, the chance to try

But I gave it up, I turned away

Chased my demons, made them stay

Now they're here, they take their claim

They hold my soul, they know my name

The sky's a mirror, my fate's unbound

I'm falling fast, halfway down

I reach for something, but nothing's there

The ghosts of my choices fill the air

Their voices scream, they claw, they bind

There's no escape for what's inside

The truth is brutal, the end is near

I face it all: my guilt, my fear

The rush of wind, the deafening sound

This is the view from halfway down

The air grows thick, the light grows dim

The weight of my sins pulling from within

No prayers, no mercy, no second chance

Just the spiral down, the final dance

The sky falls silent, the world goes black

I'd change it all if I could go back

But there's no redemption, no peace to be found

Just the view… from halfway down
