[(intro — low, distant, like talking to himself)]
They say every story needs an ending…
Guess this is mine.
[VERSE 1]
I scream with my mouth shut, lungs burning quiet,
Crying without tears ‘cause they ran out first.
Everybody swears they’d miss me if I’m gone,
But nobody’s here when it hurts this worse.
I learned how to hold it together
By falling apart in my head.
If strength is just bleeding in silence,
Then I’ve been strong since I was a kid.
[PRE-HOOK (half-spoken)]
Talking to myself like I’m two people now,
One says “stay,” one says “lay it down.”
[HOOK]
I’m holding a gun called a happy ending,
Name sounds warm but it feels like stone.
They promise peace, they promise quiet,
Somewhere I don’t have to be alone.
I don’t wanna die — I wanna disappear,
Leave the noise, leave the fear.
If this is the end of the story they’re selling…
Why does it finally feel clear?
[VERSE 2]
I joke it away so nobody worries,
Keep it light so they don’t look close.
If they knew how loud my head gets,
They’d understand why I feel like a ghost.
Lost control somewhere in the spiral,
Now I’m watching myself from the floor.
Like I already said my goodbyes
And just forgot to close the door.
[PRE-HOOK]
They say “this pain will fade with time”…
Time just taught me how to hide.
[HOOK]
I’m holding a gun called a happy ending,
Loaded with thoughts I can’t outrun.
They swear it’s over in a moment,
But moments last forever once you’re done.
I don’t wanna live — I don’t wanna fight,
Just tired of losing every night.
If this is the end of the story they’re selling…
Then don’t dress it up.
Just let it be what it is.
[BRIDGE (spoken, detached, talking to the object)]
No note.
No speech.
Nothing left I need to explain.
If anyone listens to this later…
It wasn’t sudden.
It was every day.
It was holding on
Until my hands forgot how.
[FINAL OUTRO — IMPLIED END]
The room gets quieter than my thoughts.
Breath slows…
Words stop mid—
[(long silence)]
[(last line, barely there)]
Guess this is where the story ends.
