[Verse 1] I go quiet in the room Like I left my skin at home My hands still move, but barely Like they’re borrowing my bones People talk, I catch half Words fall soft through the floor I’m right here in the chair But I’m floating near the door [Pre-Chorus] It ain’t drama, it ain’t fake It’s my mind trying to escape When the walls get way too close I split apart to feel safe [Chorus] I dissociate I fade away I dissociate When the hurt won’t stay I dissociate I leave the frame I’m still breathing Just not the same [Verse 2] Maybe it starts with too much Too many eyes, too much noise Too many old bad scenes Hidden under newer toys A smell, a face, a tone Then the whole room slips I’m watching from above With my name still on my lips [Pre-Chorus] It ain’t cold, it ain’t meanness It’s a locked door in my brain When the storm gets heavy enough I go somewhere else to stay [Chorus] I dissociate I fade away I dissociate When the hurt won’t stay I dissociate I leave the frame I’m still breathing Just not the same [Bridge] Sometimes it’s the past coming back Sometimes it’s just too much today My mind pulls the curtains shut So the damage stays away Don’t call me empty I’m just surviving the wave I come back slower But I always come back safe [Chorus] I dissociate I fade away I dissociate When the hurt won’t stay I dissociate I leave the frame I’m still breathing Just not the same
