Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Tiny room

yellin’ in the hallway

Ashtray breath

heavy boots in the doorway

He’d swing first

I’d lean in, say “hit me”

Little bro hiding

eyes wide, couldn’t fix it

I learned early

be the shield, not the child

Took the belt, took the blame

tried to smile

Say it didn’t hurt

while my spine screamed stop

Counted every crack

on the ceilin’ ‘til it dropped

He said

“Men don’t cry”

till it stuck in my teeth

So I buried every question

way down underneath

Had a plan in my head

just to vanish, be gone

But I stayed for my brother

had to hang, hold on

[Chorus]

I’m the quiet type

hurt don’t leave my mouth

Wear this anger like armor

when I’m bleeding out

Every scar that I hide

got a story behind

I took the hits for my brother

now I swing at my mind

I’m the quiet type

all this storm in my chest

Only language I learned

was to shout and to flex

If you ask how I feel

I just shrug, say “I’m fine”

I survived that house

but it lives in my spine

[Verse 2]

Grew up fast

now I’m grown with the same glare

Jaw locked tight

can’t talk, only flame there

Love feel strange

like a threat, like a trap

Touch my shoulder too soft

and I’m ready to snap

I been starin’ at the mirror

like “Who you?”

Same eyes as the man

that I grew through

Every time my voice rise

I hear his in my throat

So I choke it back down

let the silence go cold

Had nights on the bridge

leanin’ over the rail

Thinkin’ one little step

and I’d finally exhale

Then I see lil’ bro’s face

flash right in my head

Can’t teach him to fight ghosts

if I’m layin’ there dead

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

[low vocal register]

I ain’t healed

I’m here

That’s all I got

this year

I breathe

I shake

I stay

I wake

[spoken, almost off-mic]

If I can live through that

I can learn how to feel

I can learn how to speak

Let my hands stay still

[Chorus]
