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…

[BEAT DROPS]

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]
