Drowning Quietly
[Verse 1] Lights on, Iβm playing my part Laugh loud with a breaking heart Conversations feel so thin Like Iβm never really in Mirror shows a different face Someone lost without a trace Eyes that havenβt slept in days Hiding storms behind the haze They say, βYouβve been doing fineβ I just smile and read the line Every word I keep inside Turns into another tide [Pre-Chorus] Every breath feels heavier Every step unsteady Iβm screaming in my head But the room is deadly quiet [Chorus] Iβm smiling like Iβm fine But Iβm drowning quietly Waves crash in my mind No one sees whatβs inside of me Iβm sinking out of sight In the dark so silently Iβm smiling like Iβm fine But Iβm drowning quietly [Verse 2] Phone screen glowing in the night Blue light, but no real light Scrolling just to pass the time Trying not to read my mind So many faces, so many names Still the emptiness remains Standing in a crowded place Feeling like Iβm out of place Heartbeat racing, canβt slow down Thoughts spinning round and round Every time I try to breathe It feels like Iβm too deep [Pre-Chorus 2] If I tell you what I fear Would you disappear? If I let the surface break Would I finally wake? [Chorus β Bigger] Iβm smiling like Iβm fine But Iβm drowning quietly Ocean in my mind Pulling every part of me Iβm fighting for the light But itβs fading rapidly Iβm smiling like Iβm fine While Iβm drowning quietly [Bridge β Emotional Peak] I donβt want to be dramatic I just want to feel okay Iβm tired of being static While the world just walks away If I drop the mask tonight Let the truth fall free Would you hold me in the dark Or let me sink in peace? [Outro β Soft / Minimal] Still water on my skin Still chaos deep within You see a calm blue sea But thereβs a storm in me Iβm smiling like Iβm fineβ¦ But Iβm drowning quietly.
