Verse 1
Walking circles in my room again
Midnight talking to the ceiling fan
Silence loud like it’s closing in
Every thought feels paper thin
I’m tired of fighting my own reflection
Tired of masking this tension
Smiling wide but barely coping
Low-key feel unhinged… but still hoping
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Some days I don’t trust my mind
It pulls me under every time
But something in my chest won’t quit
Even when I’m sick of it
⸻
Chorus
I might be unhinged
But I’m not broken
Bent out of shape
But my spirit ain’t stolen
I don’t know where I’m going
Don’t know what’s next
But I know I’m still breathing
And that means I’m blessed
Unhinged
But unbroken
Still here
Still open
(Hold “open” with a gritty run)
⸻
Verse 2
Young souls out here barely holding
Posting strength but they folding
Nobody teaches how to survive
When your own mind don’t feel like it’s on your side
We compare pain like it’s a contest
Hide depression under progress
Trying to outrun what we feel
But the silence always gets real
⸻
Pre-Chorus 2
I don’t have the answers yet
But I ain’t done with life just yet
If I don’t know what’s next to be
Maybe what’s next is better for me
⸻
Chorus (Bigger, Drums Enter)
I might be unhinged
But I’m not broken
My edges rough
But my heart still open
Lost some nights
But I ain’t lost hope
There’s too much greatness
Left in my soul
Unhinged
But unbroken
Still rising
Still chosen
⸻
Bridge (Strip down to piano + vocal)
What if this darkness is shaping me?
What if this silence is saving me?
What if the circles I walk at night
Are building the strength I’ll use to fight?
I ain’t crazy
I’m healing
I ain’t weak
I’m feeling
And feeling means I’m alive
(Big inhale moment before final lift)
⸻
Final Chorus (Full lift, Gospel texture)
Unhinged
But unbroken
Through every word unspoken
I’m still here
Through every fear
Through every tear I’ve cried
I don’t need to see the end
To know I’m gonna win
There’s too much life left in me
Unhinged
But unbroken
(Ad libs: “Still here…” “Not done…” “I’m rising…” “I’m choosing life…”)
