Prompt / Lyrics
"verse_1": """
Don't stand too close to me
When I'm crying in the bathroom
Don't worry, I'll be fine
I got masks to hide behind
Do you need one too?

I know how to swap my tears with tap water
Grit my teeth till all you see is a smile
I light up rooms with small talk
Don't worry — I'm fine
I could be normal like you
Let me grab this mask
Out my back pocket
""",

        "pre_chorus": """
I’m tired of performing
Tired of pretending it’s alright
""",

        "chorus": """
I don't wanna fight, flight, or fawn
Anymore
They said what doesn't kill you
Only makes you stronger
But my body keeps the score
""",

        "post_chorus": """
Yeah my body keeps the score
Still feeling every war
""",

        "verse_2": """
Then come the words that won’t shut up
Talking sideways out my neck to you
Ideas of grandeur stacking high
Tripping over half-done dreams
Scattered on my floor
""",

        "bridge": """
Crumpled on the floor
Crying at 4 a.m.
Phone lighting up my face
Trying to breathe again
""",

        "break": """
Rapid speech on the phone again
Hoping I don’t sound like static
There’s just too much inside my head
While I wait for calm to creep back in
""",

        "outro": """
Don’t stand too close to me
I’m learning how to be
Something closer to honest
Without the mask on me
"""
