Prompt / Lyrics
[INTRO – ambient + distant guitar] (LOW PAD) (FAINT GUITAR) …yeah… --- [VERSE 1 – quiet, detached] I don’t sleep, I just lay about Wide awake till the noise burns out Every thought’s like a loaded gun And I don’t trust what I’ve become So I take just a little more Till I don’t feel it like before Not enough to fix what’s wrong Just enough to feel gone --- [PRE-CHORUS – slight lift] I know this isn’t healing me But it keeps me from breaking --- [CHORUS – emotional release] [SUNG] I don’t wanna feel better I just don’t wanna feel Just enough to go numb Just enough to be still If I face it, I’ll shatter If I don’t, I’ll disappear So I take just enough To keep me outta here --- [RIFF – subtle] --- [VERSE 2 – deeper] Everything becomes a blur again Like I’m living outside my own skin I hear my voice but it don’t sound right Like it’s someone else’s words inside I say I’m fine, and I play it off But it’s barely making the voices stop Every step feels so paper thin Like I’m about to cave within --- [PRE-CHORUS] I know this won’t save me now But it has to help somehow --- [CHORUS – bigger] I don’t wanna feel better I just don’t wanna feel Just enough to go numb Just enough to be still If I face it, I’ll shatter If I don’t, I’ll disappear So I take just enough To keep me outta here --- [BRIDGE – stripped, raw] (CLEAN GUITAR ONLY) When it wears off, they get louder Every voice shouting, taking power All the weight comes crashing in All the hurt, my pain, my sins (WHISPER) …I just want this to go away… --- [BUILD – rising tension] (DRUMS ENTER SLOWLY) --- [FINAL CHORUS – full emotion] [FULL BAND] I DON’T WANNA FEEL BETTER! I JUST DON’T WANNA FEEL! JUST ENOUGH TO GO NUMB! JUST ENOUGH TO BE STILL! IF I FACE IT, I’LL SHATTER! IF I DON’T, I’LL DISAPPEAR! SO I TAKE JUST ENOUGH— TO KEEP ME OUTTA HERE! --- [OUTRO – empty] (AMBIENT FADE) Just enough… (SILENCE)
