[Verse 1] Wake up in a cold sweat Smile stitched like a cut that never set Tell you "yeah I'm good I swear" While I’m tracing every crack in the ceiling air Teeth grind through the coffee steam Nails bite down till my fingers bleed You say "you've been quiet Are you alright?" I say "I'm fine " but I’m choking on the lie [Chorus] There’s a thin line between "I’m fine" and flatline I’m waving from the edge You just see a straight spine If I disappear inside this painted grin of mine Would you hear the siren In my "I’m fine" before I flatline [Verse 2] Laugh track on a broken phone Scroll past every plea Call it "just a tone" You like the version with the filters on Can you love the ghost when the mask is gone Heart beats like a warning light Still I joke till the room feels alright You hug the armor Never touch the bruise How loud must I break before I’m breaking news [Chorus] There’s a thin line between "I’m fine" and flatline I’m waving from the edge You just see a straight spine If I disappear inside this painted grin of mine Would you hear the siren In my "I’m fine" before I flatline [Bridge] [Beat drops to sparse palm-muted chugs] (male) Read my wrists like a seismograph Tiny tremors under every laugh Every "it’s nothing" is a flare in the night Every shrug a signal Every joke a fight (female) I hear your silence screaming through your teeth I see you drowning while you stand on your feet Let me hold the weight you hide behind your eyes Say more than "I’m fine" before it solidifies [male + female Unison] Don’t wait for the flatline To pull me back from the red sign [Chorus] There’s a thin line between "I’m fine" and flatline I’m waving from the edge You just see a straight spine If I disappear inside this painted grin of mine Would you hear the siren In my "I’m fine" before I flatline [Outro] (male, low) So if I say "I’m fine " look twice (female, soft) Hold on to the hurt behind my eyes (male) Help me cross that line Stay alive (female, rising) Turn this "I’m fine" into "I’ll survive"
