Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Steady breath steady hands on the table You see “chill” you don’t see unstable I nod along eyes parked on the cable ’cause if they meet yours I might turn to a fable Little jokes just to loosen the room Cracked grin over concrete gloom I’m the one saying “it’ll pass real soon” while my own dark thoughts orbit like a moon You praise my calm like it’s some kind of gift Like I ain’t holding back a continental shift Like my chest ain’t built on a fault line rift Whole world on mute ’til the mask might slip [Chorus] You don’t hear it shadows don’t talk Pain walks quiet right under your watch I look fine but I’m fighting this storm I stay composed while my heart deforms I keep it buried deep in my bones Smile on my face but I’m sinking alone You don’t hear it ’cause shadows don’t scream I bleed in silence behind the scene [Verse 2] Ask “you good?” I say “yeah, I’m straight” Short word answer slam shut the gate Truth tastes bitter on a tongue this trained to flip every breakdown into something explained I’m the strong friend you lean on, right? The late-night call the borrowed light I hand you calm ’til my own runs dry then fold my needs into “never mind” There’s a war in my head full metal and fumes but my voice walks soft like socks in a room Trauma in a trench coat blending in the crowd Whole life’s quiet but my thoughts too loud [Chorus] You don’t hear it shadows don’t talk Pain walks quiet right under your watch I look fine but I’m fighting this storm I stay composed while my heart deforms I keep it buried deep in my bones Smile on my face but I’m sinking alone You don’t hear it ’cause shadows don’t scream I bleed in silence behind the scene [Bridge] If I said “I’m scared” would the world lean in? If my calm collapsed would you call that sin? Or would you see a soul not a perfect skin a fragile truth not a flawless win [Chorus] You don’t hear it shadows don’t talk Pain walks quiet right under your watch I look fine but I’m fighting this storm I stay composed while my heart deforms I keep it buried deep in my bones Smile on my face but I’m sinking alone You don’t hear it ’cause shadows don’t scream I bleed in silence behind the scene

rap, Slow-burn cinematic rap over sparse piano and distant sub-bass pulses, male vocals. Verses are close-mic, almost whispered, with subtle string swells under key lines. Hook widens with layered low harmonies and a tight, dry kick. Occasional reversed-texture risers and filtered breaths heighten the tension, ending on a muted, unresolved chord., moody
