Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1 – soft, empty piano] Got comfortable living my life on standby Clock tick loud but I’m letting time fly Everybody calls when they breaking inside But when I break down, it’s just me and the night I’m the glue, I’m the patch, I’m the fix, I’m the friend Hold the whole world up while I’m caving in Smile so wide like I’m built outta steel But nobody ever asks how I feel They say “you’re strong,” yeah that’s code for “hide it” If I cry, I swallow it, choke, don’t fight it Mirror looking back like “who is that man?” I keep saving everybody… but I’m sinking in sand [Pre-Chorus] Day by day I fade away Piece by piece I drift to gray Always waiting… stuck control Listening to my life on hold [Chorus] I’m living on hold Heart still beating but it’s cold Everybody dialing my line But nobody saving mine I scream but it don’t make sound Feet still move but I’m underground If I don’t save my soul I’m disappearing on hold ⸻ [Rap Pocket – tight flow] Yeah Phone light buzz, yeah they need me again “Can you talk?” yeah sure, pretend Back of the line, put me last every time Giving out strength when I ain’t got mine Battery low but I’m still on call Catch everybody when they fall Meanwhile I’m one breath from the edge Balancing life on a cracking ledge Running on fumes, caffeine and regret Giving out hope that I ain’t felt yet Hero mask glued to my face too long Now I don’t know what’s right or wrong If I vanish, would anyone see? Or just dial when they need something from me? Whole life stuck in this role I control Listening to my own heart… on hold ⸻ [Bridge – vulnerable] What if I chose me for once… Let the calls go to tone… Maybe saving myself Is finally picking up my own phone… ⸻ [Final Chorus – slight lift] I’m not living on hold Not letting my story go cold For once I’m answering me Setting myself free If I fall, I won’t fold I’m done being last in the fold Yeah tonight I take control I’m done… living on hold
