Prompt / Lyrics
(Intro) Low light Soft hum No alarms No one runs Warm hands Warm lie Easy chair Slow goodbye ⸻ (Verse 1) Water’s warm, don’t make a sound Turn the dial, don’t look around Little comforts, little deals Numb the edge of what is real Screens are glowing, bellies full Every outrage blunted dull We can feel the pressure climb We tell ourselves “it’s not our time” ⸻ (Pre-Chorus) Say it’s fine Say it’s fate Say the heat is worth the wait Say “not yet” Say “not me” Say it till you can’t break free ⸻ (Chorus) We knew We knew We watched it rise and called it cool We stayed We stayed We let the comfort make us weak Now the glass is fogging up Now the air is getting thin Tell me when the hell we jump If not now Then when ⸻ (Verse 2) Every inch was small enough Easy to dismiss as bluff One more theft, one smaller right One more dimming of the light No one wants to lose their place No one wants to feel the change So we trade tomorrow’s breath For a softer kind of death ⸻ (Pre-Chorus 2) Say “be calm” Say “behave” Say the chains are what we crave Say “lie down” Say “receive” Dress the poison up as peace ⸻ (Chorus) We knew We knew We watched it rise and called it cool We stayed We stayed We let the comfort make us weak Now the glass is fogging up Now the air is getting thin Tell me when the hell we jump If not now Then when ⸻ (Bridge / Breakdown) How do you leave When the water feels good How do you move When you know that you should How do you fight When the leash feels light How do you scream When they dim every light We were not sleeping We were sedated Fed just enough To stay calibrated Not dead Not free Just warm enough To never leave ⸻ (Final Chorus) We knew We knew We watched it rise and called it truth We stayed We stayed We let the comfort waste our youth Now the glass is cracking up Now the room is caving in Tell me when the hell we jump If not now Then when If not now Then when ⸻ (Outro) Warm water Soft murder No splash No warning Warm water Soft murder No king No morning
