[Fragile Ballad – close mic, almost spoken]
Verse 1
Somewhere deep inside me,
I hear a voice.
Whispering softly,
I still have a choice.
But the ceiling’s falling,
I can’t find the door.
I’m trapped inside this feeling,
I can’t take much more
[Pre-Chorus (quiet, rushing breath]
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.
( can somebody hear me now)
[Chorus (restrained, breaking]
Somebody reach me
I’m falling apart
Screaming for mercy
Bleeding in the dark
If somebody sees this war
Sees the bruises on my heart
If somebody sees this war
Tell me where you are
Please, somebody reach me
Please, somebody reach me
Please pull me out
[Please just pull me out]
Verse 2
If there is a God
Does He know my name?
If there’s a plan
Why does it feel the same?
I followed the signs
They led nowhere fast
I’m praying for future
Still stuck in the past
Mmmm
How long is this gonna last
[Pre-Chorus 2 (even softer, almost breaking]
If someone’s watching
Do they see this fight?
Or am I just static
In the night?
I’m trying to be
Who I’m meant to become
But I don’t recognize
Who I’ve become
[Chorus (slightly fuller, still intimate]
Somebody reach me
I’m falling apart
Screaming for mercy
Bleeding in the dark
If somebody sees this war
Sees the bruises on my heart
If somebody sees this war
Tell me where you are
Please, somebody reach me
Please, somebody reach me
Please pull me out
[Please just pull me out]
[Bridge (spoken — barely melody]
They say it gets better
Just give it time
But they don’t feel
What’s in my mind
I say I’m fine
I say I’m okay
But what if someone
Sees through that face…
…anyway
[Final Chorus (most desperate — voice cracking]
Somebody reach me
I’m falling apart
Screaming for mercy
Bleeding in the dark
If somebody sees this war
Sees the bruises on my heart
If somebody sees this war
Tell me where you are
Please, somebody reach me
Please, somebody reach me
Please pull me out
[Please just pull me out]
