Can't get off the ground

**[Verse 1]**

Yesterday, I wore a crown

Today, I can't get off the ground

Laughed like fire, now I drown

In a silence that’s too loud

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Mirror says I’m breathing still

But I feel like I’m standing still

High then crashing off the thrill

Mood swings like a poison pill

**[Chorus]** *(with background vocals)*

**Low, low, low—can’t dig no more** *(“ooh-ooh, no more”)

**Smiling wide, but I’m at war** *(“at war, at war”)

**One day light, next I break**

**All this weight I can't escape**

**Low, low, low—it’s real, it’s raw** *(“so raw… so raw”)

**Living loud, but lost it all** *(“lost it all”)

**I ride the wave, then crash the shore**

**Don’t wanna feel this anymore** *(“no more, no more”)

**[Verse 2]**

I make plans I know I’ll cancel

Hope’s a drug I can’t handle

Fake a laugh, play the role

But it’s burning through my soul

**[Bridge]** *(spoken/sung, low and eerie)*

I could be fine at 2 PM

Gone by 10, back again

No warning light, just fade to black

It’s a cycle, no turning back

**[Breakdown]** *(drums cut in, vocals chanty)*

**High then low** *(“low… low…”)

**Fast then slow** *(“so slow…”)

**Hope then doubt** *(“let me out…”)

**Scream but I don’t shout**

**[Chorus – repeat]** *(add stronger harmonies and layered vocals)*

**Low, low, low—can’t dig no more** *(“ooh-ooh, no more”)

**Smiling wide, but I’m at war** *(“at war, at war”)

**One day light, next I break**

**All this weight I can't escape**

**Low, low, low—it’s real, it’s raw** *(“so raw… so raw”)

**Living loud, but lost it all** *(“lost it all”)

**I ride the wave, then crash the shore**

**Don’t wanna feel this anymore** *(“no more, no more”)

**[Outro – whispered or breathy layered vocals]**

I was good… now I’m gone…

I was fine… now I’m none…

Tomorrow’s light might never come...

But I still hold on...
