[Intro]
Boarding pass folded in my palm
Gate number blinking, then it's gone
[Verse 1]
I took a plane where the lost souls land
Plastic cup shaking in my left hand
Everyone talks but the words fall flat
I nod on cue, don't know where I'm at
Customs line curls like a question mark
Fluorescent ceiling, no natural dark
My lungs turn small in a borrowed room
Every wall leans closer, closer too soon
[Pre-Chorus]
I say, "I'm fine," but my voice goes thin
Can't find the door, can't find the air within
[Chorus]
I flew into a city full of lost souls
Now the room is closing in, I can't let go
Can't breathe, can't read the signs, can't understand
My heart is throwing sparks through both my hands
If I disappear, don't call it brave
I just need one clear word, one open space
[Verse 2]
Taxi meter counting like a loaded gun
Driver asks a question and I come undone
I know three phrases, forget all three
The window fogs up, swallowing me
Hotel key won't turn, hallway tilts
My suitcase splits and spills my guilt
A siren cuts through the paper-thin wall
I press my back there, trying not to fall
[Rap Bridge]
Okay, breathe in, four counts, hold tight
Name five things that are in my sight
Blue little sign, red thread, white tile
A stranger's shoes and a broken smile
Breathe out, but the air won't stay
My chest is a locked-up getaway
I didn't come here to become unknown
I just wanted somewhere that wasn't home
[Chorus]
I flew into a city full of lost souls
Now the room is closing in, I can't let go
Can't breathe, can't read the signs, can't understand
My heart is throwing sparks through both my hands
If I disappear, don't call it brave
I just need one clear word, one open space
[Outro]
Morning leaks underneath the door
I count the tiles, then I count some more
The city keeps moving, I stay where I am
One breath, then another, then another again
