Title: “Quiet Water”
Verse 1
I been sinking in my own thoughts lately
Water rising, breathing getting shaky
Smile bright when the world can see me
But inside, nobody really knows me
Every step feel heavy on my chest now
Try to scream but I don’t make a sound
Got a crowd but I still feel alone
Like a house that was never a home
Pre-Chorus
And I keep saying I’m okay
While I’m drifting farther away
All the pressure stacking up slow
But I don’t got nowhere to go
Chorus
Feels like I drowned and there’s no way up
Falling deeper but I smile enough
Eyes full of rain but I hold it in
Don’t wanna feel like a burden again
I try to fix what I always break
Try to breathe but my hands still shake
I wanna be who I was before
But I don’t know me anymore
Verse 2
Always quiet so I don’t cause problems
Swallow words like I never got options
Give my all but nobody notices
How I carry what nobody holds with me
You got people, I just got memories
Conversations stuck in my head on repeat
I stay small so I don’t take space
Still somehow I’m in the wrong place
Pre-Chorus
And the nights get harder to face
When I’m alone with my mistakes
Every mirror feels like a lie
I don’t recognize my eyes
Chorus
Feels like I drowned and there’s no way up
Falling deeper but I smile enough
Eyes full of rain but I hold it in
Don’t wanna feel like a burden again
I try to fix what I always break
Try to breathe but my hands still shake
I wanna be who I was before
But I don’t know me anymore
Bridge
I tried erasing pieces of me
Thinking maybe I’d finally feel free
But every version that I undo
Still ends up looking like you
And I hate who I’m becoming now
But I’m still fighting somehow
Even when hope feels far away
I wake up and choose to stay
Outro
Water rising… I’m still here
Even drowning, I disappear
Quiet tears I never show
Healing slow… nobody knows
