[Intro] (Instrumental: low distorted bass, static crackle, 4 bars) [Ad-lib] Yeah... I'm up. Don't mean I'm good..." [Verse 1 — *Me*] Wake up mad before my eyes get right Sun too loud, sky too bright Coffee cold, phone already lightin' up Another day I didn't sign up for Jaw locked tight, shoulders carry bricks Every small talk feels like politics Smile? Nah, I left that back in June Been runnin' on empty, zero to gloom [Pre-Chorus — *Me*] Don't ask me if I'm good You already know I wouldn't If I could disappear today, I probably would [Chorus — *Me*] I'm tired, I'm low, I'm static in my head Bad mood stitched into the skin I'm in Grumpy by default, irritated with the air Snappin' at shadows 'cause the pain lives there Yeah, I'm tired, I'm low, can't fake it no more Every word you say just scrapes the floor Don't tell me "it gets better" — I'm not there Just let me rot in this mood, I don't care [Verse 2 — *Me*] Notifications like flies I can't swat Every "hey" just adds another knot Patience? Spent it all last week Now I'm walkin' round with a short fuse leak People cheery, actin' like life's sweet Meanwhile I'm beefin' with my own heartbeat Ask me what's wrong and I'll bite your head Truth is: I'm just tired of bein' tired instead [Verse 3 — *Someone Else's POV*] I see you slumpin' through the door at five Eyes like storms, barely feel alive Try to ask, "You good?" and get a wall So I just make tea, say nothin' at all I get it — some days just chew you up Watch you snap at things that ain't enough I won't pretend I know the weight you wear But I'm still here, even when you don't care Can't fix it, won't force a silver line Just pass the silence if that's what you need this time You don't gotta smile, don't gotta explain I'm not scared of your rain [Pre-Chorus — *Me*] Don't try to fix my face It's set like stone today If I had the energy to scream, I'd scream [Chorus — *Me*] I'm tired, I'm low, I'm static in my head Bad mood stitched into the skin I'm in Grumpy by default, irritated with the air Snappin' at shadows 'cause the pain lives there Yeah, I'm tired, I'm low, can't fake it no more Every word you say just scrapes the floor Don't tell me "it gets better" — I'm not there Just let me rot in this mood, I don't care [Bridge — *Me*] I'm not broken, I'm just burnt Not lookin' for lessons I ain't learned Sometimes low ain't a place you climb Sometimes you just sit in the grime So don't hand me light when I chose the shade Let me be mad. Let me be frayed [Breakdown] (Beat cuts to just kick + static hum, 4 bars) [Spoken] Let me sit in it. Don't cure me. Just... don't leave." [Final Chorus — *Me, with backing from POV*] I'm tired, I'm low, I'm static in my head Bad mood stitched into the skin I'm in Grumpy by default, irritated with the noise Done pretendin' I enjoy Yeah, I'm tired, I'm low, and that's my truth No silver lining, no reboot If you want happy, I'm not him today This is the anthem for the messed-up days [Outro] (Instrumental fades, static gets louder then cuts) [Whispered] Still here though... still here.
