[Intro — whispered]
Don’t knock.
Don’t ask me to come out.
I’m trying to survive
the noise inside my head.
[Verse 1]
I built these walls with trembling hands,
Brick by brick, I made my stand.
Every feeling cuts too deep,
So I bury what I cannot keep.
The world outside keeps calling my name,
But I’m drowning underneath the weight.
I shut the door, I kill the light,
And disappear into the night.
[Pre-Chorus]
When every heartbeat feels like a war,
I can't take one more—
[Chorus]
So I hide behind these walls,
Where nobody sees me fall.
When the emotions overflow,
I retreat where no one knows.
I’m not trying to disappear,
I just need silence from the fear.
If I shut you out tonight,
I’m fighting just to make it through the night.
[Verse 2]
My phone keeps ringing on the floor,
I can't explain this anymore.
Every question tears the seams,
Every voice invades my dreams.
I know isolation isn't peace,
But sometimes it's the only release.
I need a place where I can breathe,
Before these feelings bury me.
[Breakdown — screamed]
**BACK AWAY!**
**LET ME BREATHE!**
**I’M DROWNING IN WHAT’S INSIDE OF ME!**
**CLOSE THE DOOR!**
**KILL THE SOUND!**
**I NEED TO FIND MYSELF BEFORE I BREAK DOWN!**
[Bridge — clean]
Maybe tomorrow I'll unlock the door,
Maybe I'll let someone see the scars.
But tonight I need this empty room,
To gather what's left of me.
[Final Chorus]
So I hide behind these walls,
But I won't stay here forever.
When the darkness starts to fade,
I'll find the strength to face the day.
I’m not gone, I'm only healing,
Still alive beneath the feeling.
And when I finally step outside,
I'll know I survived the night.
[Outro — whispered]
The door is still locked...
But I’m still here.
