Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1](soft, breathy, controlled) I wake up already fucking tired Like I ran all night through a house on fire Head full of noise I can’t shut off Every thought like a blade, yeah it cuts that rough Mirror says I’m “fine,” what a joke I practice that smile like a script I wrote Yeah they see the calm, they don’t see the cost Every piece of me that I fucking lost [Pre-Chorus](rising tension, controlled emotion) I’m the voice that tells you “you’ll be alright” While mine’s in the dark picking fights [Chorus](Big, melodic, emotional release) I keep it steady when I’m breaking apart Yeah I carry your weight with a hole in my heart I’m the one you call when you’re losing your grip While I’m one bad thought from losing my shit Static in my chest, but I bury the sound If I fall to pieces, who’s holding it down? I’m the anchor, the fix, the one that won’t bend But I’m so fucking close to the edge again [Verse 2](More tension than Verse 1) Anxiety crawling under my skin Like it knows every place that I’ve ever been Shaking hands but I hide it tight White-knuckle grip just to make it through the night They say I’m strong like I had a choice Like I don’t hear that fucked up voice Saying “you’re done, just let it go” But I bite my tongue ‘cause I can’t let it show [Pre-Chorus](Bigger than first) Yeah I patch up wounds that aren’t even mine While I’m bleeding out behind the line [Chorus](full power) I keep it steady when I’m breaking apart Yeah I carry your weight with a hole in my heart I’m the one you call when you’re losing your grip While I’m one bad thought from losing my shit Static in my chest, but I bury the sound If I fall to pieces, who’s holding it down? I’m the anchor, the fix, the one that won’t bend But I’m so fucking close to the edge again [Bridge](Soft / Emotional → Explode) Don’t tell me “breathe,” I’ve been trying for years Every inhale just drowns in fear I’m so sick of being the safe place to land When I don’t even know where the hell I stand (Heavy drop) I’m screaming in silence, stuck in my head Carrying ghosts that should’ve been dead You lean on me like I don’t break Like I don’t feel every goddamn weight [Breakdown](aggressive, raw) I’M NOT OKAY—just good at pretending Holding the line while I’m fucking ending If I let go, if I slip, if I crack— Would you even notice… or just not look back? [Final Chorus](Bigger / Desperate) I keep it steady when I’m tearing apart Every piece of me you needed to start I’m the one you call when you’re losing your grip While I’m one breath away from losing my shit Static in my chest, now it’s screaming out loud Can’t keep this buried under a mask or a crowd I was the anchor, the fix, the friend ‘til the end— But I can’t save you if I can’t save me again [Outro](stripped / honest) Yeah… I held it together as long as I could Played the strong one like I knew I should But if I’m being real… if I drop the act— I need someone to fucking hold me back
