[fragile ballad - almost spoken-sung - close mic]
Verse 1
Somewhere deep inside me
I hear a voice
Whispering that I still
Have a choice
But the ceiling’s falling
I can’t find the door
I’m trapped inside
I can’t take much more
[Pre-Chorus quiet, rushing]
I feel the walls closing in
I’m fading fast
I don’t know how
To make this last
Please…
Can somebody save me now?
Chorus (restrained, breaking)
Somebody reach me
I’m falling apart
Screaming for mercy
Bleeding in the dark
No one sees the war
No one at all
I’m drowning alone
Got nowhere to fall
Please, somebody reach me
Please, somebody reach me
Just pull me out
(Just pull me out)
Verse 2
If there is a God
Did He forget my name?
If there’s a plan
Why does it feel the same?
I followed the signs
They led nowhere fast
I pray for tomorrow
Still stuck in the past
[Pre-Chorus 2 -even softer]
If someone’s watching
Do they see this mess?
Or am I just noise
In the emptiness?
I’m trying to be
Who I’m meant to become
But I don’t know who I am
Who I am anymore
[Chorus -slightly fuller, still intimate]
Somebody reach me
I’m falling apart
Screaming for mercy
Bleeding in the dark
No one sees the war
No one at all
I’m drowning alone
Got nowhere to fall
Please, somebody reach me
Please, somebody reach me
Just pull me out
(Just pull me out)
[Bridge spoken — almost no melody]
They say it gets better
Just give it time
But they don’t really know
What’s on my mind
I nod my head
Say I’m okay
But the darkness
Is louder than anything they say
…anyway
[Final Chorus most desperate — voice cracking]
Somebody reach me
I’m falling apart
Screaming for mercy
Bleeding in the dark
No one sees the war
No one at all
I’m drowning alone
Got nowhere to fall
Please… somebody reach me
Please… somebody reach me
Just pull me out
(Just pull me out)
