[no hums. no melodies] [Intro] (low pulse, no drag) (quiet) Don’t think… just move… [Verse 1] Midnight air, it cuts too clean Same damn place I’ve always seen Every step feels mapped in stone Like I knew this all along Hands are shaking—no, they’re not I just tell myself they’re not If I stop to feel it hit I won’t finish what I started [Pre-Chorus] Don’t say a word Don’t make this real If I let it in I won’t be able to deal [Chorus] (driving, not huge) So I dig— Try to bury what I saw Try to cover up the sound That still follows me around And I dig— Like it’s something I can fix Like I didn’t watch it end Like I didn’t lose him then [Verse 2] Every inch I pull away Brings me closer to that day But I keep my head locked down Like I can outrun the sound You said there’s a line out here You said don’t come anywhere near But you weren’t there when it broke You didn’t feel it disappear [Pre-Chorus] Don’t look back Don’t lose control If I stop now I lose it all [Chorus] (bigger, more pressure) So I dig— Try to bury what I saw Try to drown it in the dirt Like it won’t come back at all And I dig— Like I still have some control Like the ground won’t take it all Like it won’t demand its toll [Bridge] (crack in control) (quiet) This isn’t right… (beat) …but it’s not too late… (voice tightening) If it worked before… (shift) Then it can again… [Break Section] (rhythmic, rising) Don’t stop— Keep going— Don’t think— Just— DIG [Final Chorus] (most intense point, still controlled) So I dig— Try to bury what I know Try to silence what it took Try to make it something whole And I dig— Like I didn’t cross that line Like I didn’t see the truth Like I’m still in my right mind [Outro] (quiet, unsettled) …almost there…
