Pulling Me Under

[Verse 1] Sink in the sofa Day-old coffee gone cold on the floor Phone face down Screen still glowing I can't answer any more TV talking to the shadows Ceiling cracks that I keep tracing Every thought a little landslide Every breath a quiet bracing [Chorus] There's a gravity in my chest Pulling me under Pulling me under All my worth feels like a debt I can’t remember I can’t remember Panic like a freight train Roaring through my paper bones If I disappear tonight Would anyone know I’m gone? [Verse 2] Hands start shaking Over nothing Over everything at once Heartbreak hammer in the ribcage Blood runs loud My body stunts I rehearse the same apologies To people I’ve not even met Sorry I exist at all Sorry that I still forget [Chorus] There’s a gravity in my chest Pulling me under Pulling me under All my worth feels like a debt I can’t remember I can’t remember Panic like a freight train Roaring through my paper bones If I disappear tonight Would anyone know I’m gone? [Bridge] [Strings swell Guitars shimmer wide] I write my name On fogged-up glass (it fades) I mouth “I’m fine” To the bathroom light (it knows) If there’s a hand Reaching through this static sky Touch my shoulder Say I’m more than what I survive (please) [Chorus] There’s a gravity in my chest Pulling me under Pulling me under All my worth feels like a debt I can’t remember I can’t remember Panic like a freight train Roaring through my paper bones If I disappear tonight Would anyone know I’m gone? [Outro] So I breathe Just once Then again Then again Hold fast In this cheap vinyl chair at the edge of the world I’m still here I outlast
