[INTRO – low hum, distant static, whispered] 01010011 01110100 01100011 01110100 don't say it... they won't hear it right... [VERSE 1 – restrained, close vocal] sitting in a chair, staring at the floor clock on the wall like I've been here before try to speak up, throat locks tight every word feels wrong when it leaves my mind hands stay still but my chest caves in want to ask for help but I don't let it in made sense in my head when I was alone but it turns to noise when I say it out loud [PRE-CHORUS – tension building] I'm not quiet I'm just stuck in place I'm not hiding I just don't feel safe [CHORUS – melodic, emotional] I scream inside but I don't ask for help every time I did it just made it worse they say reach out like it's something else but I learned real quick what it was worth I'm not cold, I'm protecting what's left every open door got turned on me so if I don't call, it's not cause I'm fine it's a signal you just can't read [DROP – heavy bass, glitch distortion] 01010011 01110100 01100011 01110100 signal through corrupted transmission [VERSE 2 – darker, more direct] years on a couch, trying to explain seven to nineteen just saying my name thought it was safe, thought it was real trusted the process, trusted the deal then I was breaking, needed it most walked in the room, got turned into a joke laughed at the pain like it didn't exist shut something down that I can't fix [PRE-CHORUS – rising] not resistant I remember how it ends not refusing I just don't trust it again [CHORUS – bigger, layered vocal] I scream inside but I don't ask for help every time I did it just made it worse they say reach out like it's something else but I learned real quick what it was worth I'm not cold, I'm protecting what's left every open door got turned on me so if I don't call, it's not cause I'm fine it's a signal you just can't read [BRIDGE – stripped, vulnerable] if you felt what I felt you'd move like me every helping hand has a memory I'm not trying to push you away I just don't know another way [FINAL CHORUS – emotional release, distorted harmonies] I scream inside but I don't ask for help I don't know who I'm supposed to trust they say healing's somewhere out there but I've only seen it turn to dust I'm still here, I didn't collapse but I'm holding on differently if I don't reach out, don't call it pride it's a signal you just can't read [OUTRO – fading static, whispered] 01010011 01110100 01100011 01110100 signal through corrupted transmission signal I can't send
