[Verse 1] Snap of a door Crack of a plate Heartbeat races One second too late It’s not the sound It’s what it implies Ears bend truth into lies An assassin in disguise ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Don’t tell me to chill Don’t tell me to breathe My spy’s been screaming This feels threatening ⸻ [Chorus] Soft sounds hit hard Like messages missed Every whisper cuts sharp Every silence insists It’s not about loud It’s not in my head It is in my head This rings threatening ⸻ [Verse 2] Squeak of a laugh Buzz of a light Feet on the floor Middle of the night Ears wide open I am a lighthouse Searching through the night Can’t quite find quiet ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] You don’t need to fix I don’t need to be saved Please don’t look away I’m constantly trying To survive my day ⸻ [Chorus] Soft sounds hit hard Like messages missed Every whisper cuts sharp Every silence insists It’s not about loud It’s not in my head It is in my head This rings threatening ⸻ [Verse 3 – Sensory Verse] The tap of your teeth The sound of your breath The rub of your feet on tile The click of the dog’s nails I can hear you swallow Just by watching your throat I feel every motion Like a wave I can’t float ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] I’m not just annoyed Sounds drill in deep I’m wide awake In noise I can’t sleep I’m trapped invisibly ⸻ [Bridge] Formed without reflex Stuck in decode Reading the whispers Of stories still owed Don’t say I’m fragile Don’t make me prove I’m tracking the tremors So I know when to move ⸻ [Final Chorus] The softer the sound The harder it sticks The quieter it is The louder it hits It’s not pointless drama It’s not just stress It’s not in my head It is in my head This rings threatening
