Still Here

If you're thinking about suicide, please, don’t go through it alone. Talk to someone. Talk to a friend. Talk to me. There is still beauty in the breath you're taking. You're still here. That matters more than you know. You are not a burden. You are not beyond help. You are loved. Stay. [Verse 1 – Repeated like a machine loop – Spoken, Empty, Hollow, Emotionless] numb in head numb in chest numb in the blood numb at rest pull the plug end the pain bleed all out down the drain [Refrain – Flat, hypnotic, Emotionless] breath feels wrong I’m not here breath feels sharp I disappear breath feels loud I choke on fear just shaking just not clear [Verse 2 – Repeated like a machine loop – Spoken, Empty, Hollow, Emotionless] thought in the night thought in the day thought won’t stop won’t go away intrusive flash calling my name thought says go thought says stay what the fuck will I do with this pain [Verse 3 – Repeated like a machine loop – Spoken, Empty, Hollow, Emotionless] foot on the ledge wind in my teeth blur in the light silence beneath one more breath maybe I won’t voice in my chest whispering “don’t” [Calming Pivot -silence, beat] breathe..... [Refrain – Soft, melodic, warm] breath feels good I’m still here breath feels good I’m still here [Bridge – Soft, melodic, warm] stay for the sun stay for the breeze the still feeling on your face stay for the steam stay for the spoon the soup you eat each afternoon stay for the laugh stay for the kids the place with love you can’t replace stay for the breath stay for the light world spins, unmoved by doom stay stay... [Final Refrain – Soft, melodic, warm] breath feels good I’m still here breath feels good I’m still here still here... [Spoken Outro – Whispered Confessional] If you're hearing this. stay. You're not broken. Just tired. Rest if you need. Cry if you must. But don’t leave. The world’s better with you in it. Still here. So am I.
