[INTRO – almost nothing]
[just low rumble, distant noise, like something under the floor]
i think something’s wrong
but it hasn’t moved yet
[pause — let the bass hint, not hit yet]
[VERSE 1 – restrained, close vocals]
everybody’s talking like it’s normal
like the air isn’t leaning sideways
i can feel it in my teeth
something shaking under everything i say
my hands are steady on the surface
but i don’t trust what’s underneath
like the room is holding its breath
waiting for me to believe
[PRE-CHORUS – tension builds]
it starts so quiet
you almost miss it
like a thought
you can’t dismiss it
[CHORUS – FIRST DROP BASS HITS HARD]
there’s an earthquake in my body
low frequency in my chest
whole world standing perfectly still
while i’m falling out of it
there’s an earthquake in my body
and nobody feels it yet
i swear the floor is moving
but nobody else has left
[POST-CHORUS – bass continues, vocal cuts through]
nobody feels it
nobody feels it
nobody feels it
but me
[VERSE 2 – slightly more personal]
i learned how to smile through shaking
how to talk like nothing’s wrong
how to keep my voice from breaking
even when it’s taking too long
maybe it’s not the world that’s moving
maybe it’s just me again
but i can’t tell the difference
between collapse and staying in
[PRE-CHORUS 2 – faster, more anxious]
it starts so quiet
then it grows
like something underneath me
that already knows
[CHORUS 2 – BIGGER DROP]
there’s an earthquake in my body
feel it cracking through my bones
whole world still pretending
like it’s safe to call this home
there’s an earthquake in my body
and it’s louder when I’m alone
like the silence has a heartbeat
like it’s trying to drag me down
[BRIDGE – stripped, eerie]
[bass drops out almost completely, just sub-hum + voice]
seven point something
on a scale they never named
i don’t think they built a word
for feeling this much change
[FINAL CHORUS – full power]
there’s an earthquake in my body
and i don’t know how to stop
every time i think it’s over
it just resets from the top
there’s an earthquake in my body
and i’ve learned to let it stay
if everything inside me breaks
at least it’s breaking anyway
[OUTRO – collapse]
i think something’s wrong
but it’s probably just me
[bass fades like it’s still happening somewhere underground]
