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)
[beat: minimal ambience only]
I tell myself I’m fine (I’m fine)
But my hands are shaking
Every lie I hide
Starts suffocating (can’t breathe)
[beat: soft pulse fades in]
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
[beat: light drums + bass, still restrained]
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
[beat: bass deeper, tension rising]
I tell myself to breathe (just breathe)
But my chest is burning
Every truth you see
Is the one I’m learning
[beat: drums stronger, layers building]
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
[beat: drop out → silence]
Say it.
Say it out loud.
If I’m the villain in your mouth—
Say it now.
[beat: full drop — heavy bass, stacked vocals]
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
[beat: strips back, echo only]
The room is breathing…
So am I.
