[Verse 1 – Calm Routine]
The porchlight’s on, I’m home by ten
Put my keys down by the plant again
Microwave meal, still tastes like then
Cartoon reruns on the screen pretend
Fed the cat, she stares through me
Another Tuesday, stuck on repeat
Phone lights up — “You good?” — I lie
“Yeah, just tired,” same alibi
---
[Verse 2 – Small Cracks]
Shower on, but I sit on tile
Let the water run and waste a while
Toothbrush dry, but I leave it out
Say I’ll clean — but I still have doubts
Three missed calls, I mute the phone
Tell myself I like being alone
They’d all leave if they knew the truth
So I fake a laugh, I hide the proof
---
[Chorus – Innocent but Fraying]
🎵 The porchlight’s on, I made it back
No one saw the growing cracks
Left the mail outside again
Say I’ll check it — but don’t know when
🎵 It’s fine, I guess, I’m getting through
Same old playlist, same old shoes
The clock just spins, the walls don’t move
And all I feel… is nothing new
---
[Verse 3 – Deteriorating]
Mirror fogged, I trace a face
Don’t recognize, but it fills my space
Pillbox full, I missed again
What’s another day with shaking hands?
The fridge light hums, I stare inside
Not hungry — just need to feel alive
I talk to ghosts that never reply
Leave notes to myself I never sign
---
[Bridge – Unraveling in Whisper]
🎵 Left the window open wide…
Maybe the cold will feel like pride
🎵 Every plan I made feels fake
Every smile I try… just breaks
---
[Final Chorus – Soft, But Hollowed Out]
🎵 The porchlight’s on, but I’m not there
Shoes still sitting by the stairs
Bed still made, room still neat
No one hears when silence screams
🎵 The chair still creaks, the floorboards groan
But I’m just static on the phone
The note was short — no need for clues…
🎵 It’s in the closet.
🎵 And so’s the noose.

[Outro – Ambient static, low wind chimes, faint heartbeat slowing]
(Just one last line whispered)
“I just wanted the noise to stop.”
