STILL HERE

Spoken Intro (fading out)

I don’t think I’m sad…

I just don’t feel anything.

Around people, I laugh.

I talk.

I play the part like I remember how.

But when I get home—

when it’s quiet—

it’s just me.

And that’s when it goes blank.

No anger.

No peace.

Just this… space.

I sit there, staring at myself,

digging through my thoughts,

hoping something sparks—

hoping something explains it.

Maybe I’ve been strong too long.

Maybe I learned how to survive

before I learned how to feel.

I don’t know if I’m lost…

or just standing still,

waiting for the next version of me

to show up.

(voice fades)

Yeah…

…waiting…

Verse 1

Surrounded by voices, still empty when I’m home

Noise in my head, but the room feel like a tomb

Lights off, phone down, I’m face to face with truth

If this numbness talking, what the hell it tryna prove?

I ain’t broken, I’m just tired of pretending

Held it together so long I forgot how to feel endings

Days blur out, nights stretch longer than they should

I don’t cry, I don’t smile—guess I’m “fine,” misunderstood

Hook (Hypnotic / Detached)

I don’t feel it [soft/quietly spoken] Nowhere near it [soft/quietly spoken]

I don’t feel it [soft/quietly spoken] nowhere near it [soft/quietly spoken]

Whole world talking, but I don’t hear it

I don’t feel it [soft/quietly spoken] nowhere near it [soft/quietly spoken]

I don’t feel it [soft/quietly spoken] nowhere near it [soft/quietly spoken]

Still breathing, but I’m nowhere near it

Nowhere near it [soft/quietly spoken]

⸻

Verse 2

I been scrolling through my past like it owe me a reason

Trying to remember when I last felt something I believed in

People say “you good,” yeah, I tell ’em I’m straight

But they don’t see the war I negotiate with my brain

I don’t miss the pain, but I miss being human

Miss when heartbreak proved that I was still moving

Now it’s just days on repeat, nights on mute

Trying not to lose myself while I’m searching for truth

⸻

Hook (repeat)

I don’t feel it [soft/quietly spoken] Nowhere near it [soft/quietly spoken]

I don’t feel it [soft/quietly spoken] nowhere near it [soft/quietly spoken]

Whole world talking, but I don’t hear it

I don’t feel it [soft/quietly spoken] nowhere near it [soft/quietly spoken]

I don’t feel it [soft/quietly spoken] nowhere near it [soft/quietly spoken]

Still breathing, but I’m nowhere near it

Nowhere near it [soft/quietly spoken]

⸻

Outro (beat stripped, almost spoken)

Maybe this emptiness ain’t the end of me

Maybe it’s space for who I’m meant to be

I don’t need answers tonight

I just need to sit with the quiet

’Til something in me decides to breathe

Quiet tonight, breathe… [soft/quietly spoken]

(beat fades, last line dry)

Yeah…

I’m still here.

I’m still here [soft/quietly spoken] [fading]

I’m still here [soft/quietly spoken] [fading]
