Prompt / Lyrics
(Hook) There’s static in my skull, it won’t turn down Every smile I fake just cracks somehow They say “you good?” — I nod, don’t make a sound But it’s loud… so loud… so loud There’s static in my skull, it won’t behave Digging little trenches in my brain If you could hear the things it says You’d be afraid… be afraid… (Verse 1) I wake up with a thousand voices brushing my teeth One of ’em calm, the other one telling me “leave” One say “breathe,” one say “why even try?” One laughs while the other one’s ready to die I sit at the edge of the bed like a glitch Hands on my face like “boy, you sick” But I look in the mirror and it look back strange Like it know my secrets and it like that pain I joke too dark, they don’t catch the hint They laugh, but I meant every word I print Got a carnival mind with a blackout grin Welcome to the funhouse I’m trapped within They say “just pray,” they say “just cope” They say “have faith,” they say “have hope” But hope don’t work when the walls got teeth And the floor start moving underneath I ain’t evil, I just ain’t quiet Got a storm upstairs startin’ riots If sanity’s thin, then mine’s on sale Half off — cracked — slightly derailed (Hook) (Verse 2) I tried duct-taping my thoughts shut tight But they chew right through in the middle of night Got shadows that sit in the passenger seat They don’t say much but they love front-row seats I’ll be in the store just buyin’ some bread And a whisper say “drop everything, run instead” I blink real quick and I shake my head “Man, you trippin’.” — yeah, that’s what I said I ain’t violent, don’t twist my words I just feel like I’m followed by invisible birds Peckin’ at the soft spots in my chest Buildin’ little nests outta stress I laugh too loud at the wrong damn time Make folks uncomfortable — that’s fine ’Cause if I don’t laugh I might just crack And I ain’t tryna show what’s under that Got secrets folded in origami Sharp little edges, don’t try to palm me You see a man — you don’t see the war Or the thousand fingerprints on the inside door (hook) (Verse 3 – more aggressive, chaotic flow) I scribble in notebooks, pages bent Ink look possessed, like it came and went Like something grabbed my wrist real tight Said “write this down or we fight tonight” I don’t need meds, I need quiet space But silence echoes in my face And when it’s quiet, it get worse instead ’Cause that’s when the loud live in my head I ain’t your villain, I ain’t your freak I just don’t function the way you speak I see colors when you see gray I feel earthquakes on sunny days They say “man up,” I say “I try” But tough don’t fix what’s cracked inside You can’t duct tape a broken mind And call that strength just ’cause it’s quiet So if I twitch or drift mid-talk Or laugh when I shouldn’t, or freeze mid-walk Just know I’m wrestling something deep While y’all sleep… while y’all sleep (hook 2x)( loud, harsh, aggressive, fade out)
