(Style: Hip hop with dark pop and art pop texture, hip-hop swing over brushed drums and deep bass; verse rides a lo-fi folk indie rock bed with fingerpicked guitar and sparse keys, pre-chorus tightens with stacked breaths and filtered handclaps, chorus opens with wide harmonies and a half-time lift. Breathy male vocals, intimate doubles in verses, pitched ad-libs and delay throws on the hook word, vinyl crackle into the first verse, reversed swell before the chorus, sub drops on the last word of each hook.

[Verse 1]
I know that face
In the bathroom glass
Same old stare
Won’t let me pass
Pocket full of keys
But I still feel locked
Same old house
Same old box
I keep my door wide
Still I don’t move
I wear my name
Like a bruise
If you see me falling
Don’t let me land
Pull me out
With your bare hands
[Pre-Chorus]
Tie my doubts
To the chair
Take the weight
Out the air
If I run
Drag me back
If I fade
Bring me back
[Chorus]
Kidnap me from myself
Kidnap me from myself
I need your hands
On the fire
Kidnap me from myself
Kidnap me from myself
Drag me out
Take me higher
(take me higher)
[Verse 2]
I’ve been living
In split-screen rooms
One half smoke
One half bloom
I keep saying
I’m almost fine
But the truth stays
Out of line
If I start to
Sink again
Say my name
Like a friend
Break my loop
Break my spell
Carry me
Past the shell
[Pre-Chorus]
Tie my doubts
To the chair
Take the weight
Out the air
If I run
Drag me back
If I fade
Bring me back
[Chorus]
Kidnap me from myself
Kidnap me from myself
I need your hands
On the fire
Kidnap me from myself
Kidnap me from myself
Drag me out
Take me higher
(take me higher)
[Bridge]
I don’t want
Another clone
One more room
Where I’m alone
Cut the cords
Cut them clean
Show me what
I’ve never seen
One good pull
One hard truth
One more chance
To start new
If I shake
Don’t let go
Hold me like
You already know
[Final Chorus]
Kidnap me from myself
Kidnap me from myself
I need your hands
On the fire
Kidnap me from myself
Kidnap me from myself
Drag me out
Take me higher
(take me higher)
Kidnap me from myself
Kidnap me from myself
I’m ready now
To come alive
