[Intro]
Soft hum of the fridge at 3am
Blue light on your tired face
Scrolling past your own reflection
Like you’re skipping someone else’s pain
[Verse 1]
You wear your headphones like armor
Turn the volume up on the void
Every mirror feels like a witness
Every scar a Polaroid
You let your hands sink deep in your pockets
So you won’t reach out at all
Say you’re just “a little exhausted”
While you stare straight through the wall
[Pre-Chorus]
You kept every promise
Except the one you made to yourself
You’d rather be silent
Than ask anyone for help
[Chorus]
Save yourself
Before you fade into the background shelf
Before you call your hurt “just normal”
Till you feel like someone else
Save yourself
This is not the end you’re owed
You are not what you’ve been told
Save yourself
[Verse 2]
You learned to laugh right on cue
Perfect timing
Perfect mask
You give advice like you’re a prophet
But you dodge your own questions you ask
You trace the cracks in the ceiling
Like a roadmap out of here
Every night is “maybe tomorrow”
Every sunrise disappears
[Pre-Chorus]
You kept every secret
That’s what’s eating you alive
You’re drowning in kindness
That you never let arrive
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Breathe
Name the weight that’s on your chest
Grief
Is just love with nowhere to rest
[whispered vocals]
You are not your worst day replayed
You are not the things they said
You are not a burden unpaid
You are more than spinning in your head
[crescendo]
Let your shaking hands unclench
Let your anger turn to flame
Let it burn through all the “should’ve”
All the small
Obedient shame
[Breakdown]
[harsh vocals]
Stand up in the storm you summoned (stand up)
Feel your pulse inside the drum (feel it)
You’re the avalanche
Not the victim
You’re the knife
Not just the thumb
Hit the ground and rise in rhythm
Every heartbeat: “I’m still here”
Tear the labels off your ribcage
Let your true name reappear
[Chorus]
