I HOLD THE LINE(WHILE I BREAK)

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah I’m the voice saying “it’s okay”
While mine’s screaming just to get away

[Chorus]
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?

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m the fix for everyone’s pain
But nobody asks if I’m okay

[Chorus]
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?

[Bridge – Breakdown]
(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?

Emotional hard rock
