Say it now

The room is breathing, lights too low (breathe)

I hear my thoughts in echo

Your name is hanging in the air

Like something I shouldn’t say (mm)

I tell myself I’m fine (I’m fine)

But my hands are shaking

Every lie I hide

Starts suffocating (can’t breathe)

I don’t scream, I stay quiet (quiet)

I don’t run, I deny it

I keep calm on the surface

While I’m losing my purpose

You look at me like you know

Every secret I don’t show

I bite my tongue, I play it cool

But I’m breaking every rule

I tell myself to breathe (just breathe)

But my chest is burning

Every truth you see

Is the one I’m learning

I don’t scream, I stay quiet (quiet now)

I don’t run, I deny it

I keep calm on the surface

While the silence gets violent

Say it.

Say it out loud.

If I’m the villain in your mouth—

Say it now.

I don’t scream—now I shout it (shout it)

I don’t hide—I’m surrounded

By the truth I’ve been fighting

By the fear I ignited

I went numb just to survive it

Now the quiet’s turning violent

The room is breathing…

So am I.
