I HOLD THE LINE(WHILE I BREAK)

Woke up with a war in my chest again

Heart like a gun and it won’t pretend

Every breath feels like a goddamn lie

But I smile and nod as the world walks by

Got their weight on my back, yeah I carry it all

While I’m cracking inside but I’ll never fall

They lean on me like I don’t bleed

Like I’m not choking on everything I need

Yeah I’m the voice saying “it’s okay”

While mine’s screaming just to get away

I’m the rock that never fucking moves

Even when I’m coming unglued

Hold the line, don’t let ‘em see me shake

I keep standing while I fucking break

I’m the calm in their hurricane

While I’m drowning in my own brain

Scream inside but I don’t make a sound

‘Cause if I fall, who holds it down?

Anxiety’s a knife that twists real slow

Cuts so deep but it never shows

Shaking hands but I hide it well

Yeah I built a home here in my own hell

They say “you’re strong” like it’s something I chose

Like I don’t feel every crack in my bones

Like I don’t wanna just disappear

But I stay right here ‘cause they need me here

I’m the fix for everyone’s pain

But nobody asks if I’m okay

I’m the rock that never fucking moves

Even when I’m coming unglued

Hold the line, don’t let ‘em see me shake

I keep standing while I fucking break

I’m the calm in their hurricane

While I’m drowning in my own brain

Scream inside but I don’t make a sound

‘Cause if I fall, who holds it down?

(LET ME BREATHE!)

I’m so goddamn tired of being strong

Holding everyone else up all along

(LET ME FEEL!)

What the hell am I supposed to do

When the only one I save ain’t me or you

I’m one bad night from losing control

One more crack in a shattered soul

But I grit my teeth, I play my part

With a sinking chest and a breaking heart

[Break](Soft to Heavy Build)

If I dropped… would anyone care?

Or would they just find someone else to repair?

I’m screaming but it’s buried deep

In the silence I was taught to keep

[Final Chorus](Bigger / Desperate)

I’m the rock that never fucking moves

Even when I’m coming unglued

Hold the line, don’t let ‘em see me shake

I keep standing while I fucking break

I’m the calm in their hurricane

While I’m going fucking insane

Scream inside but I don’t make a sound

‘Cause if I fall—

[Outro](Raw / Fading)

…who the hell holds me down?
