Verse 1
They said you quit breathing
Said you quit trying
But the room still screams
When they say you were quiet
Numbers feel crooked
Timeline’s bent
Too much in your blood
To make any sense
Chorus
It doesn’t add up
It never did
They wrapped it in plastic
And called it “the end”
If this was your choice
Why does it feel staged?
Why does it feel stolen
And dressed up as fate?
Verse 2
They smiled for cameras
Cried on cue
Held onto pieces
That weren’t theirs to use
You wrote “I hate myself”
They sold it as proof
But pain ain’t a contract
And love don’t recruit
Chorus
It doesn’t add up
I don’t hear peace
You don’t pull a trigger
When you can’t feel your knees
They say “troubled genius”
Like that explains
Why the truth keeps flinching
When you say his name
Bridge (spoken / almost whispered)
Everybody wants a martyr
Nobody wants a mess
Everybody loves the myth
Long as they’re not next
Verse 3
Too much noise in your silence
Too much fight in your eyes
You don’t load goodbye
When you still wanna scream alive
Friends turn to furniture
Watching you fall
History writes it clean
When it writes it at all
Final Chorus
It doesn’t add up
I won’t swallow it down
You don’t disappear
You get taken out
Call it conspiracy
Call it decay
But lies don’t echo
This hard, this way
Outro
If you hear him buzzing
In broken chords
That ain’t nostalgia
That’s unfinished war
