You Were Safe

[Intro – Whispered, low distortion]
Quiet don’t mean empty…
That’s what I told myself
I felt something shift—
But blamed it on something else

[Verse 1]
I don’t skip steps—I check every line
I don’t trust once—I check every time
You think locked doors mean you’re protected
But something here feels disconnected
No sound moving, no shape to name
No sign left, nothing to blame
By the time tension enters my chest
Something here don’t feel like the rest

[Pre-Chorus – Low, controlled]
I don’t hear a sound
I don’t see a sign
Every part of this
Should be fine

[Chorus – Heavy, chugging, aggressive delivery]
NO SOUND—just control in motion
NO SIGN—just a break in focus
NO TRACE—nothing out of place
I don’t see it move—but I feel the space
QUIET—louder than a scream
ONE THOUGHT—split clean
I don’t know what I can’t find
But something here is not mine

[Verse 2]
You mistake silence for something safe
That illusion starts to break
Every pause I couldn’t place
Every shadow out of place
That wasn’t nothing—that was real
Something close I couldn’t feel
By the time I turned to check
Something moved—I won’t forget

[Pre-Chorus – Whispered, lower octave]
I don’t hear a sound
I don’t see a sign
Every part of this
Fell out of line

[Chorus – Full weight]
NO SOUND—just control in motion
NO SIGN—just a break in focus
NO DOOR—left open wide
But something here got inside
QUIET—burned in my mind
ONE STEP—out of time
I don’t know what’s real or when
But something here has always been

[Bridge – Stripped, dry vocal]
I checked everything—
I did it right
Nothing was open
…I was safe

[Final Chorus – Slow, crushing]
NO SOUND—nothing left to say
NO TIME—it don’t work that way
NO WARNING—just gone from sight
No chance to fight
QUIET—cuts through my breath
ONE LINE—nothing left
I don’t know when it began
I just know it ends… now

[Outro – Fading whisper]
You didn’t miss a step…
You didn’t do it wrong…
I was already there…
…before you got home
